White Oil Market

The white oil market is expected to reach USD 2.77 billion by 2030, from USD 2.19 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 4.8%. This growth is fueled by the pharmaceuticals, personal care, and cosmetics industries, which drive increasing demand for white oil products. An increase in healthcare spending, along with higher production of ointments, laxatives, vaccine adjuvants, and topical formulations, contributes to greater use of pharmaceutical-grade white oils. The rising demand for high-purity cosmetic-grade products stems from the expansion of skincare, baby care, and men’s grooming markets in emerging countries. The industrial sector utilizes white oil products for plastics and elastomers, adhesives, and food-grade processing, leading to volume growth. Advancements in refining technology and stricter regulatory standards are steering the market toward higher-quality refined white oil products, ensuring steady growth over time.

China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) (China), Sonneborn LLC (US), Calumet, Inc. (US), Savita Oil Technologies Limited (India), and Gandhar Oil Refinery (India) Limited (India) are the key players in the white oil market.
