Global internal olefins market was valued at US$ 2.0 Billion in 2022 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 0.55 % and expected to reach at 2.09 Billion during the forecast period (2023 to 2030).

Internal olefins are high-value chemicals, produced by dehydrochlorination or chlorination of linear paraffins. It is used in various applications such as lubricants, oil drilling, surfactants, and agrochemicals. Internal olefins are valuable intermediate for processes such as synthesis of linear alkyl benzenes and oxo alcohols. It is also used during drilling mud, paper sizing, and for lubrication-based oil.

Drivers

Increased Use of Olefins

The growing use of olefins in the automobile industry has significantly impacted market growth. The rising demand for polycarbonates is a significant variable encouraging the olefins market's expansion over the forecast period. Additionally, the growing worldwide population contributes considerably to the expansion of the food and beverage industry, which has high needs for packaging materials, and rising population levels are favorably impacting the olefins market. The expanding automobile industry, which necessitates the use of high-quality olefin in the creation of automobile interiors, is the primary driver of market expansion.

Surging Demand for PAO-based Synthetic Lubricants

PAOs have quickly acquired popularity as high-performance lubricants due to their desirable properties such as high viscosity index, thermal stability, oxidative stability, mineral oil compatibility, and low toxicity. PAOs provide technological benefits, but they also help protect environmental quality in some sensitive applications. Synthetic lubricants based on PAO provide improved performance in offshore drilling applications with environmental concerns. Furthermore, because some PAOs are biodegradable, they can be used to replace vegetable-based oils. PAO-based synthetic lubricants have a tendency to eliminate drilling-related performance errors. The high demand for PAO-based synthetic lubricants, further boosts the growth of overall olefins market.

Furthermore, the rise in demand for engine oils will further propel the growth rate of olefins market. Additionally, the growth in usage of internal olefins in oil drilling and associated activities will also drive market value growth. The increased global demand for agrochemicals in agrarian and emerging economies is projected to bolster the growth of the market.

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the olefins market. Olefins market growth has suffered as a result of long-term lockdowns in the majority of countries. During this epidemic, the olefins industry has experienced significant losses due to travel restrictions around the world and severe social distancing measures. Throughout the second half of 2020, this market has recovered. In pharmaceutical applications, however, demand for olefins has remained consistent.
