White Oil Market Overview:
The global white oil market
Emerging Trends Shaping the White Oil Industry
Rising Pharmaceutical Demand: Pharmaceutical-grade white oils accounted for roughly 66% of the market in 2024. The demand is driven by sterile fill-finish lines in biologics manufacturing across Asia, which require ultra-pure oils with minimal aromatic content to prevent protein aggregation.
Personal Care Growth: Personal care applications remain the fastest-growing segment, contributing around 25% of market share. Light, transparent oils are preferred in skincare formulations, particularly in Asia-Pacific, where cosmetic and Ayurvedic product consumption is on the rise.
Regional Regulations: Europe's MOAH/MOSH regulations are influencing the adoption of food-grade white oils in packaging. These limits on mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons push manufacturers to meet ultra-low aromatic standards, impacting global export and compliance strategies.
Industrial Applications: Expansion in polymer and plastic processing is boosting technical-grade white oil demand. The oils act as processing aids in high-melt thermoplastics, enhancing flexibility and reducing processing stress in products such as automotive components, appliances, and footwear.
While growth drivers are strong, the market faces constraints such as EU directives limiting mineral-oil-based cosmetic formulations and North American shifts toward bio-based alternatives.
