White Oil Market Report by Application (Adhesive, Agriculture, Food, Pharmaceutical, Personal Care, Textile, Polymers, and Others), and Region 2025-2033
The global white oil market size reached USD 2.18 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.83 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.82% during 2025-2033. The market is witnessing stable growth, primarily driven by its extensive utilization in key sectors like plastics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the heightening demand for personal care products further bolsters market expansion. Major companies are currently focusing on innovation to improve their product safety standards and quality, which, in turn, is favoring the market growth.
White Oil Market Trends:
Increasing Product Demand in Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals
The cosmetics and pharmaceuticals sectors are significantly propelling the demand for white oil, which is valued for its high safety and purity standards. Its utilization as a base in therapeutic creams, personal care products like lotions and creams, and other topical formulations is notably escalating. Furthermore, regulatory adherence in these industries demands non-toxic, ultra-purified, and odorless oils, positioning high-quality production as an essential requirement to cater to such standards. Moreover, this trend is anticipated to boost as the global personal care and cosmetics sector is substantially expanding and healthcare needs are magnifying, further fueling white oil consumption in applications pertaining to these sectors. According to industry reports, cosmetics market was valued as USD 400 billion in 2023 and is forecasted to reach around USD 600 million in 2030, with a CAGR of 5%.
Expanding Product Application in Polymers and Plastics
White oil is witnessing accelerated utilization in the polymer and plastics sectors as a release agent, lubricant, and plasticizer in the formulation of poly vinyl chloride, elastomers, and polyolefins. The capability of white oil to improve product functionality while maintaining adherence with regulatory policies as well as safety is significantly driving its demand in these industries. Moreover, the packaging and automotive sectors, in particular, are leveraging white oil for its excellent role in enhancing the durability and flexibility of polymers used. As per industry reports, plastic is the second most leveraged material in the automotive sector, with 12% to 15% of vehicle's mass composed of it. Consequently, the utilization of white oil in such industries is anticipated to escalate as the emphasis on lightweight plastics and high-performance materials is rapidly elevating.
Rising Focus on Bio-based Alternatives and Sustainability
The rising trend of sustainability is significantly impacting the dynamics of global white oil market, primarily because of the heightening demand for bio-based, eco-friendly alternatives among buyers. While conventional white oil is extracted from petroleum, a magnifying shift is currently being observed towards bio-based oils derived from renewable sources. This transitioning inclination streamlines with global efforts to lower carbon footprints and adhere to the stringent environmental regulatory policies. As per industry reports, the average global carbon footprint is almost around 4 tons., while in the U.S., average carbon footprint for an individual is 16 tons, one of the highest rates worldwide. As a result, such trends have further prompted the manufacturers to adopt sustainable practices within the white oil industry. In addition, well-established market players are substantially investing in research and development (R&D) projects to develop bio-based formulations that can efficiently match the functionality of mineral-based white oil, thereby contributing to the differentiation of offerings and the future expansion of the market.
