By Group, the Group III segment is projected to dominate the global market throughout the forecast period.

The Group III segment is projected to be the leading segment of the global base oil market during the forecast period. This is attributed to its performance characteristics that are second to none and its widespread utilization in the automotive as well as the industrial lubricant markets. Base oils of Group III have a high viscosity index and contain very little sulfur. Also, their thermal and oxidative stability is excellent, which makes them capable of new and strict emission regulations as well as fuel efficiency requirements. The gradual replacement of traditional Group I base oils with high-quality and synthetic formulations, in addition to the growing demand for premium automotive engine oils and transmission fluids, is further consolidating the position of Group III. Moreover, enhanced production capacities and the technological innovations in the fields of hydrocracking and isodewaxing, especially in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East regions, are also contributing to the strengthening of Group III's global market leadership.

By application, the automotive oil segment is projected to dominate the global base oil market during the forecast period.

By application, the automotive oil segment is projected to lead the market during the forecast period. The consumption of base oils by passenger cars and commercial vehicles remains the main driver for the segment, as the base oil is used to develop engine oils, transmission fluids, and gear oils. Additionally, stringent emission and fuel economy regulations are leading to the use of Group II, Group III, and synthetic base oils in the production of lubricants; thus, the manufacturers are forced to rely on high-quality formulations. The trend of longer oil drain intervals, better engine protection, and compatibility with advanced engine technologies is further strengthening the foothold of automotive oils in the global base oil market.

Asia Pacific is poised to dominate the global base oil market throughout the forecast period.

The global base oil market is projected to be led by Asia Pacific during the forecast period, mainly because of the growth of the automotive, industrial, and manufacturing sectors in the region. The ongoing demand for automotive and industrial lubricants is majorly backed by strong vehicle production and increasing vehicle ownership in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Moreover, the region has the advantages of modern refining facilities, the trend of investing more in Group II and Group III base oils, and the availability of economical feedstock. Along with the factors like strict emission regulations, an increase in the use of high-performance lubricants, and impressive expansion in construction, infrastructure, and industrial activities, the region is expected to become even stronger in the global base oil market.
