The Global White Oil Market size is expected to reach $2.2 billion by 2031, rising at a market growth of 4.6% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2023, the market attained a volume of 1,243.79 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 16.9% (2020-2023).

White oils, also known as mineral oils or liquid paraffin, are widely used in skincare and cosmetics formulations due to their excellent emollient and moisturizing properties. The personal care and cosmetics segment held 31.7% revenue share in the market in 2023. In terms of volume the cosmetics & personal care segment attained a volume of 373.98 kilo tonnes in the market 2023. They serve as base oils in various products such as lotions, creams, moisturizers, and makeup removers.

Refining and purification processes are continually refined to achieve higher purity levels in white oils. Advanced filtration techniques, such as molecular distillation and hydrotreating, enable the removal of impurities, contaminants, and undesirable components, resulting in white oils with superior clarity, cleanliness, and consistency.

Additionally, they are commonly used as carriers, solvents, and diluents in liquid and semi-solid medications such as oral suspensions, syrups, and topical preparations. Thus, these factors will boost the demand for it in the upcoming years.

However, the volatility heavily influences the market in crude oil prices, as white oils are derived from crude oil through refining.
