Key Insights on the Base Oil Prices Trend — Second Quarter

Base oil is a primary raw material used in the production of lubricants, including motor oil, industrial oils, and greases. The global base oil market is driven by rising demand from the automotive and industrial sectors, where its use in lubricants ensures equipment efficiency and longevity. Increasing vehicle production and expanding industrial activities contribute to this demand. Trends include a growing shift towards high-performance Group II and Group III base oils due to their superior properties, such as better oxidation stability and lower emissions.

Additionally, the sustainability push is driving the adoption of bio-based base oils. Technological advancements in refining processes and increasing focus on energy-efficient lubricants are further boosting market growth, making base oil a crucial component in evolving industries.

Factors Influencing Base Oil Price Trend Across Different Regions:

North America: In Q2 2024, North America’s base oil pricing saw a notable increase, primarily due to rising crude oil prices and supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions. Refiners prioritized Base Oil production, responding to competitive pressures and leading to significant price hikes. Several refiners, including Safety Kleen and Avista Oil, raised prices in the paraffinic and naphthenic markets, contributing to a bullish trend. Seasonal stockpiling ahead of the hurricane season also fueled the upward momentum.

Asia-Pacific (APAC): The Asia Pacific base oil prices experienced upward pricing trends in Q2 2024, driven by supply constraints from maintenance shutdowns and disruptions at key production facilities. Strong demand from automotive and manufacturing sectors exacerbated the supply shortage, further intensifying competition among buyers. Geopolitical tensions and logistical issues compounded the supply-demand imbalance, particularly in China, where cautious purchasing behavior sustained rising prices throughout the quarter.

Europe: Germany saw pronounced base oil price changes in Q2 2024, initially subdued due to holiday periods in April. However, May and June saw increased prices as operational costs rose, and supply tightened. The summer driving season drove demand for lubricants, pushing prices higher despite increased imports and resumed local production. While year-over-year comparisons showed a slight market contraction, the second half of the quarter marked a clear upward trend.

Middle East: Base Oil prices in the Middle East surged in Q2 2024, driven by rising freight costs, post-Ramadan supply shortages, and increased demand from growing economic uncertainty. Saudi Arabia experienced the most significant price adjustments, with trading picking up after the Eid al-Fitr holiday. Lumbered faced challenges securing vessels, and shipping disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions further strained supply, particularly in Saudi Arabia, where shipping attacks impacted delivery times and availability.
