Select Access Type
The Global Petroleum Additives Market Size was valued at USD 5,681 Million in 2021 and is predicted to be worth USD 8,836 Million by 2030, with a CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2030.
Additives are the chemical compounds which are added to any material to enhance the quality or performance. Petroleum additives are chemical compounds that improve the performance of petroleum oil. Generally additives are added upto 5% by weight of the petroleum oil. Petroleum additives includes chemical breakdown control additives, viscosity & lubricity modifiers, contaminant control additives, antioxidants, stabilizers and anti-knock agents, fuel dye & performance enhancing additives, and others.
During last few years there is a significant increase in the demand for the petroleum products which has gained the attention of various companies. A number of companies are involved in introduce new additives which will improve the quality of the fuel. Now-a-days, nearly all the commercial motor oils contain additives, whether it is synthetic or petroleum based oil. Increasing environmental issues has increased demand for the natural petroleum additives. However, the American Petroleum Institute (API) Service SA motor oils have no additives, and they are therefore incapable of protecting modern engines.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, Competitive Analysis, Player Profiling, Regulation Analysis |
The global petroleum additives market is majorly driven by increasing number of vehicles, rising demand for the petroleum products and rapid development in technology. Growing demand for low emission and efficient energy source from the manufacturing, aviation and automobiles along with the stringent environmental regulations are projected the boost the market growth. During last few years, there is a significant increase in the number of automotive vehicles which has increased the levels of toxic emissions as a result of fuel used in vehicles. This has increase adverse impact on environment. This has increased demand for the additives which will help to emit less toxic chemicals. Techno economic feasibility of petroleum additives has got a huge opportunity in near future.
However, increasing demand for electric and battery powered vehicles and high cost of natural additives will hinder the growth of the market. The market possesses a huge opportunity owing to increasing demand for Ultra-low-Sulfur Diesel (ULSD).
Petroleum Additives Market Segmentation
The global petroleum additives market segmentation based on the type, application and geographical region.
Market by Type
- Deposit Control
- Antioxidants
- Lubricants
- Fuel Dyes
- Anticorrosion
- Antiknock Agents
- Others
Based on the type, the deposit control segment is estimated to hold the largest market shares in 2021. This is primarily due to the multipurpose use of these additives, and that is why market players prefer to produce them in large quantities. Besides that, since these product lines are used for both diesel and petrol, demand for them is anticipated to witness significant growth during the projected timeline.
According to the petroleum additives market forecast, the lubricity segment is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. This is a result of the fuel additives used to increase the lubricity of diesel fuel that has undergone hydro treatment.
