Conventional Oil Market Research, 2031
The global conventional oil market was valued at $2.5 trillion in 2021, and is projected to reach $4.7 trillion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2031. Conventional oil is an organic substance that is naturally formed within the earth's crust and is also referred to as crude oil or petroleum. It is a hydrocarbon, which means that its main ingredients are hydrogen and carbon with traces of other substances including nitrogen, sulfur, and different metals.
Conventional oil is extracted from the earth through drilling and pumping, which distinguishes it from oil sands oil. Conventional oil comes from geological formations that are very simple to extract and do not require specialized technology to harness their potential.
Conventional oil is frequently the most cost-effective option since they require significantly less refining and re-engineering. Several automakers still choose traditional engine oils as long as they meet the most recent industry standards. Furthermore, while conventional motor oils are closer to natural oil than synthetics or half synthetics, they still include essential additives to help reduce engine wear and increase performance. Advanced conventional oils have additives that can remove existing sludge from oilways and prevent fresh sludge from accumulating. All of these factors are expected to increase the conventional oil market share during the forecast period.
There are frequent changes in the price of conventional oil on a global scale. The uncertainty generated by oil price swings is expected to have an impact on economic development by increasing production costs or changing investment behavior, resulting in a slowdown of growth. All these factors are anticipated to hinder the conventional oil market growth during the forecast period.
Increase in auto production and demand for traditional and synthetic materials are expected to drive the market growth. Automobile sales have been gradually expanding in recent years, owing to population growth and an increase in consumer buying capacity in Asia-Pacific and Europe. The market is predicted to develop significantly during the forecast period due to the high level of technological advancement implemented in the entire automotive sector. There is an increase in demand for high-performance engine oils owing to tactical vehicle processes and operational blueprints used by multinational automobile manufacturers. All these factors are anticipated to create several growth opportunities for the conventional oil market players in the future.
The key players profiled in this report include BP, Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell, Total, CNPC, Equinor, Petrobras, and Repsol.
The conventional oil market is segmented on the basis of type, sulfur content, end-use industry, and region. By type, the market is divided into light distillate, middle distillates, heavy ends, and others. By sulfur content, the market is classified into low sulfur and high sulfur. By end-user industry, the market is classified into automotive, chemical, power, industrial, and others. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
By type, the middle distillates sub-segment dominated the market in 2021. Middle distillates are a class of refined products that come from the fractional distillation of conventional oil into lighter and heavier products. Physically, they are clear, colorless to light yellow, flammable liquids with ten to twenty carbon atoms; their carbon chains are shorter than those of lighter distillates but longer than those of residual products. These are predicted to be the major factors affecting the conventional oil market size during the forecast period.
By sulfur content, the high sulfur sub-segment dominated the global conventional oil market share in 2021. Sulfur is a prevalent element present in crude oil and petroleum products. Sulfur is regarded as an undesirable pollutant because it produces sulfur oxides when burned. A crude oil grade with a high sulfur concentration will, on average, have a lower value. This high sulfur of conventional oil is sometimes referred to as sour crude. It can be utilized in all power plants, industries, industrial facilities, structures, and boilers. It offers significant savings because it is a type of fuel oil that burns at high temperatures.
By end-user industry, the automotive sub-segment dominated the global conventional oil market share in 2021. Rise in disposable income and a quickly expanding urban population are responsible for the dominating share of the segment In regions such as North America and Europe, customer preferences in the passenger automobile segment have altered during the previous decade. This is also one of the major factors anticipated to boost the conventional oil market growth.
By region, LAMEA is projected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. About 27% of the world's oil output comes from LAMEA, which is home to five of the top 10 oil-producing nations. In recent years, more than 30% of the world's refining capacity development has taken place in the Middle East, the second most dynamic upstream market, and even more of the world's substantial refining projects will be carried out there in the upcoming years. While state-owned corporations produce the majority of the oil, several multinational oil companies operate in the LAMEA through joint ventures, production-sharing agreements, and other business models. All these factors are anticipated to boost the conventional oil market growth in the region.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Conventional Oil Industry
