Rubber Process Oil Market: Applications in Automotive and Beyond

The global rubber process oil market size is anticipated to reach USD 2.93 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The worldwide demand for rubber is increasing due to its potential role in the manufacturing of various products, including tires, footwear, and industrial goods.

Rubber process oils are essential additives used in the production of rubber compounds. These oils are derived from petroleum and are integrated into the manufacturing process to enhance the properties of the final product. They act as plasticizers, making the rubber softer and more pliable, which is crucial during the mixing and molding stages. Depending on their formulation, these products can be categorized into three main types: paraffinic, naphthenic, and aromatic, each offering distinct properties suited for different applications.
