Base oil, a crucial ingredient in the production of lubricants like motor oils, industrial fluids, and greases, is seeing increasing demand, particularly from the automotive and industrial sectors. The surge in vehicle production and industrial activities is a major driver behind this. Additionally, there is a growing shift towards higher-quality Group II and Group III base oils due to their better oxidation resistance and lower emissions. With the rise of sustainability initiatives, bio-based base oils are gaining popularity. Technological advancements in refining and a greater focus on energy-efficient lubricants are also bolstering the global base oil market.
North America: In Q2 2024, base oil prices in North America rose significantly due to higher crude oil costs and supply chain challenges linked to geopolitical issues. Refiners like Safety Kleen and Avista Oil raised prices across paraffinic and naphthenic base oils, creating a bullish market. Additionally, seasonal stockpiling ahead of the hurricane season pushed prices even higher.
Asia-Pacific (APAC): The APAC region saw base oil prices increase due to supply shortages from facility maintenance shutdowns. High demand from the automotive and manufacturing industries compounded the supply issues, leading to intense competition among buyers. Geopolitical tensions and logistics disruptions, especially in China, worsened the supply-demand imbalance, driving prices upward throughout the quarter.
Europe: In Germany, base oil prices initially remained steady in Q2 2024 due to holiday periods, but later increased in May and June as supply tightened and operational costs rose. The demand for lubricants during the summer driving season further pushed prices higher, despite increased imports and local production resuming. Although there was a slight market contraction compared to the previous year, the latter half of the quarter showed a clear upward trend.
Middle East: In the Middle East, base oil prices surged in Q2 2024 due to rising freight costs, post-Ramadan supply shortages, and heightened demand driven by economic uncertainty. Saudi Arabia experienced the sharpest price increases, with trading activity rising after Eid al-Fitr. Supply issues were exacerbated by shipping disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions, including attacks on vessels, further impacting delivery times and product availability.
