Natural gas and crude oil feed stocks are the key precursors of white mineral oil. These precursors are further processed to produce white mineral oil grades. Some of the major raw material suppliers include PetroChina Co., Ltd., ConocoPhillips, and Total S.A. Technical, medical, food, and cosmetic grades of white mineral oil are commercially available in the global market. The formulations of these grades vary in terms of chemical properties such as viscosity, purity, and constituency of the medium. Sinopec Corporation, Nynas AB, JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation, Royal Dutch Shell N.V., Petro-Canada, and Sonneborn, Inc., are some of the prominent market players that offer comprehensive white oil product portfolio comprising varied grades targeted at specific application sectors.
Moderate degree of backward integration exists in the global value chain. Major raw material manufacturers are also engaged in the production and supply of white oil grades. Companies such as British Petroleum, Petro-Canada, Exxon Mobil Corporation, and Royal Dutch Shell N.V. are a few of the oil & gas suppliers that have vertically integrated business operations. The industry participants distribute white mineral oil through various modes of distribution that include direct supply, bulk sale, third-party supply agreements, and e-commerce portals. Sonneborn Inc. Sinopec Corporation, and JAX, Inc. distribute & advertise their products through direct selling and bulk sale in the global marketplace. Paraffin Oil, and STE Oil Company, Inc. are a couple of players engaged in the online or e-commerce product supply.
White oil, also known as white mineral oil, is one of the key ingredients used in the formulation of various personal care products. Petroleum jelly, body lotions, baby oils, moisturizing creams, cosmetics, cold creams, and hair care products actively consume white mineral oil. Personal care has been one of the prominent applications of white oil which is further expected to drive the market growth over the years ahead.
-Market-Share,-By-End-User,-2018.png "Global White Mineral Oil (Petroleum) Market Share, By End-User, 2018 (%)")
Personal care is a diverse market that is anticipated to witness robust growth, owing to rapid expanse of the consumer base especially in Asia Pacific countries such as China, India, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam. Furthermore, increase in the consumer disposable incomes, rise in personal health and hygiene awareness, and significant consumption of cosmetics, hair care products, and skin care products are other growth-enhancing factors that are likely to support the development of the personal care industry. In terms of revenue, the global market for personal care is likely to reach nearly USD 600.0 billion by 2025.
White oil is utilized during the processing of personal care products, owing to its chemical inertness, high purity, lubricity, and good moisture barrier aspects. Furthermore, white oil is also blended with other hair oil formulations such as coconut oil and other vegetable oils, owing to their inert nature and compatibility with other chemicals and oils. Hence, the growth of the global personal care industry is expected to boost the consumption of key processing ingredients including white oil in the future.
White oil is used as an additive or blended as a base material for the processing of pharmaceutical products such as laxatives, ointments, internal lubricants, and emollients. White oil possesses good anti-bacterial properties and are chemically stable when processed with other synthetic products. Due to superior blending characteristics, white oil is consumed extensively in pharmaceutical applications. Hence, the growth of the pharmaceutical market is expected to propel the demand for white oil in the future.
Asia Pacific and North America held noteworthy white mineral oil (petroleum) market shares in 2018. Presence of numerous regional players, rapidly developing personal care and pharmaceutical sectors, and expanding consumer base are the major white mineral oil (petroleum) market trends witnessed in the Asia Pacific region.
