Market Dynamics
Driver: Developing pharmaceutical industry
A prominent market for white oil is the pharmaceutical industry. Laxative jellies, pomades, balms, creams, capsule lubricants, pelletizing aids, ointment bases, vaccinations, etc. are all prepared using white oil.
As it has the greatest level of purity, pharmaceutical-grade white oil is employed in this application area. White oil has light to medium viscosities, which are used in medicinal applications.
Restraints: Allergic reactions to white oil
Although white oil is safe in cosmetics and pharmaceutical when taken orally, it may cause few allergic reactions in some instances. Because mineral oil is fully safe, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has permitted its usage in cosmetics. But it may cause allergic reactions, such as hives, chest pain, breathing trouble, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, severe diarrhea, vomiting and other.
Opportunities: Rising demand from plastic industry
Low-volatility white oils are used in the manufacture of plastics and a variety of other polymers to enhance and regulate the melt flow rate of the final polymer to give release qualities or modify the physical properties. White oils are essential in the production of thermoplastic elastomers, as well. When light colour or food approval are required, elastomeric materials that can be manufactured without vulcanization use white oil as an extender to make fabrication easier.
Challenges: Volatile raw material prices
Volatile raw material prices, coupled with geophysical and political conflicts among key oil trading regions, are expected to affect the overall supply-demand scenario in the future. In addition, the tight supply of raw materials, coupled with a drop in their prices, might hinder the market growth.
“Personal care was the largest application for white oil market in 2021, in terms of value”
The personal care application segment led the white oil market in 2021. This owes to the rise in demand for personal care goods brought on by people's increased awareness of their health. While creating various personal care products, white oil is used as a basic component and as an emollient. It is widely used in the production of a variety of personal care goods, including cosmetics, skincare products, moisturizers, baby items, body lotions, hair oils, shampoos, scents, and creams that are water-resistant.
“Asia Pacific was the largest market for white oil in 2021, in terms of value.”
In 2021, the Asia Pacific region held a prominent share, dominating the white oil market. The growth is attributed to the region's expanding pharmaceutical industry's need for the product. The pharmaceutical sector has been primarily propelled by increased customer knowledge, affordability, and purchasing power. Industry participants continually invest in R&D, develop new goods, and set their prices to appeal to customers with various degrees of purchasing power.
