Prime determinants boosting industry growth 

The global white oil market is experiencing significant growth, largely driven by an increase in its demand in the plastics and polymer manufacturing sectors. White mineral oils play a vital role in the production of polystyrene, polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers, and other polymers. In addition, rise in investments in the pharmaceutical sector across both developed and developing economies further propel its market demand, as white oil is commonly used in various pharmaceutical formulations. This expanding application scope across industries is expected to foster market expansion during the forecast period. 

However, high manufacturing and processing costs remain a major barrier to the growth of this sector. Producing high-purity white oil involves advanced refining and purification methods, which are energy-intensive and costly. These expenses, coupled with the need to meet strict quality standards in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food-grade applications, limit price competitiveness. Nevertheless, growing interest in healthy eating boosts packaged food demand, and white oil enhances packaging materials and prolongs food shelf life, creating promising market opportunities. 

Key applications of white oil 

White oil, a highly refined mineral oil, has witnessed expanded and innovative applications across various industries, driven by its chemical stability, non-toxicity, and versatility. In the personal care and cosmetics sector, white oil is a key ingredient in lotions, creams, ointments, and makeup removers, valued for its moisturizing properties and compatibility with sensitive skin. Pharmaceutical applications have grown, with white oil being used as an emollient and lubricant in topical formulations, as well as a processing aid in drug manufacturing. The plastics and polymer industries are utilizing white oil as a plasticizer, lubricant, and release agent, particularly in the production of PVC, elastomers, and polyolefins. This enhances the flexibility, durability, and transparency of finished plastic products, which is especially critical in packaging and automotive applications where lightweight, high-performance materials are in demand. In addition, white oil is used in the paints coatings industry to improve gloss and flexibility, and in the metalworking sector as a rust preventive oil. The textile industry utilizes white oil as a lubricant during fabric processing, reducing machinery wear and enhancing production efficiency.
