The demand for base oils in the Middle East & Africa is primarily driven by major sectors such as petroleum, mining, agriculture, and industrial manufacturing & processing. Heavy investments have provided an impetus for oil & gas exploration in the region, and this ensures a high consumption of lubricants, thereby supporting the base oil market growth.

In addition, mining activities in Africa are expected to boost the consumption of base oils in the region. Total S.A. (France), a manufacturer of the brand ELF, is one of the leading suppliers of industrial oils to the Arabian Gulf and Qatar. These industrial oils are used in construction, machinery, and oil & gas industries.

The Middle East & Africa is major source of oil & gas, due to which there is an abundant supply of mineral oil in the region. Therefore, high consumption of Group I and Group II base oils is anticipated compared to other base oil groups. Another key factor for the high consumption of mineral oils in the region is the price differentiation between base oil groups, as mineral oil-based base oils (Group I and Group II) are much cheaper compared to other types.
