Low-PAH and bio-based oils carry Rubber Process Oil demand to USD 4.50 Billion by 2035
At USD 3.08 Billion in 2025, the Rubber Process Oil market is set to reach USD 3.20 Billion in 2026 and USD 4.50 Billion by 2035, a 3.86% CAGR, as tire output in Asia grows and compounders switch to cleaner extender oils.
This study covers mineral and renewable oils added to natural and synthetic rubber as extenders, plasticizers and processing aids. It includes treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE), mild extraction solvate (MES), residual aromatic extract (RAE), naphthenic, paraffinic and untreated distillate aromatic extract (DAE) oils, plus bio-based oils from soybean, rapeseed, tall oil and similar feedstocks. Values are at producer selling prices. Oils used in lubricants, transformer oils, white oils for cosmetics and synthetic ester plasticizers for PVC are excluded. Our separate TDAE report covers that grade in more depth; here it is one of six oil types.
Tires account for most consumption, because a typical passenger tire compound carries extender oil in its tread and sidewall. USTMA projected US tire shipments of 337.4 million units in 2025, and Michelin reported 2025 passenger and light truck replacement volumes up 1% worldwide. Steady tire volumes and new plants in India, Southeast Asia and Morocco set the base for demand.
Bio-based and renewable oils are the fastest-growing segment at a 9.40% CAGR, led by Goodyear's soybean oil program and Continental's push to more than 40% renewable and recycled materials by 2030. Africa is the fastest-growing region at a 4.54% CAGR from a small base, while Asia Pacific holds the largest share.
Supply is tightening. Group I base oil refineries, the main source of aromatic extracts, keep closing: about 1.4 million tonnes of Group I capacity shut in 2021 to 2023, and PetroChina scheduled the Dalian closure for 2025. Producers with dedicated process oil units, such as H&R, Nynas, Ergon and Gandhar Oil Refinery, gain pricing power as a result.

Market Dynamics
Market Trends
Tire makers move from petroleum oils to renewable oils
Goodyear said in October 2025 that its Lawton, Oklahoma plant, its largest in the US, used about 100,000 pounds of soybean oil in one month, and the company aims to phase out petroleum-based oils by 2040. Continental said in July 2025 that renewable and recycled materials averaged 26% of its tire production in 2024 and that it targets more than 40% by 2030, using tall oil and pyrolysis oil feedstocks under mass balance.
Refinery closures shrink aromatic extract supply
ENEOS said in March 2025 that it will phase out lubricant production at its Yokohama plant between 2026 and 2028. Shell confirmed in April 2025 that crude processing at Wesseling in Germany will end, with part of the site converted to Group III base oil from 2028. Each closure removes Group I streams that feed TDAE, MES and DAE production.
Indian specialty oil makers add capacity and feedstock deals
Panama Petrochem started a new specialty oils plant at Ambernath in July 2026 after a 61% rise in fourth-quarter profit. An Apar Industries subsidiary signed a base oil supply agreement at LubeHub Value Park in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia in June 2026. Gandhar Oil Refinery reported first-half fiscal 2026 manufacturing volume up about 9%.
European producers trade volume for margin
Nynas reported 2025 adjusted EBITDA of SEK 1,401 million in February 2026, with lower fourth-quarter naphthenic volumes but higher unit margins. H&R reported preliminary 2025 revenue of EUR 1,242.2 million, down 7.2%, in March 2026 and described demand as subdued. Both shifted mix toward higher-value plasticizers.
Restraints and Challenges
PAH limits close Europe to untreated aromatic oils
Since January 2010, REACH Annex XVII entry 50 has banned extender oils with more than 1 mg/kg of benzo(a)pyrene or more than 10 mg/kg of the eight listed PAHs in tires sold in the EU, a rule later updated by Regulation (EU) 2015/326. Exporters to Europe must use TDAE, MES, naphthenic or bio-based oils, which cost more than DAE and limit growth for producers without extraction units.
Flat tire volumes in mature markets
USTMA projected 2025 US shipments at 337.4 million units against 337.3 million in 2024, with original equipment down about 2.8 million units. Michelin guided 2026 tire markets at minus 2% to plus 2%. Flat demand in North America and Europe caps volume growth there.
Feedstock insecurity as Group I refineries close
About 1.4 million tonnes of Group I capacity closed between 2021 and 2023 at Porto, Gonfreville, Negishi, Wakayama and Durban, and more closures are scheduled. Process oil makers without their own refinery must secure extracts on the spot market, which raises price volatility.
Margin pressure for integrated refiners
H&R posted a 2025 net loss of EUR 38.8 million after impairments in its refining segment, showing how hard it is to run small specialty refineries profitably when fuel margins swing.
Growth Drivers
Rising tire output in Asia
Asia Pacific makes more than half of the world's tires, and new capacity keeps coming from Chinese, Indian and Southeast Asian makers. Michelin reported 2025 global passenger and light truck original equipment volumes up 2% and truck replacement up 4%. Indian process oil makers Gandhar Oil Refinery, Apar Industries and Panama Petrochem are adding volume for a domestic tire industry led by MRF, Apollo Tyres, CEAT and JK Tyre, and Panama Petrochem opened a new Ambernath plant in July 2026. Each new tire line needs a steady supply of extender oil for tread and sidewall compounds. We estimate Asian tire expansion contributes about 1.6 percentage points to the annual growth of the Rubber Process Oil market, its largest single source.
Export-led shift to EU-compliant low-PAH grades
Tire makers in China, Thailand, Vietnam and India export heavily to Europe, where REACH entry 50 bans high-PAH extender oils. To keep one compound for all markets, they switch plants from DAE to TDAE, MES or naphthenic oil, which carry higher prices per tonne. ETRMA data show European consumer replacement sales of 57.28 million units in the first quarter of 2025, up 2.5%, much of it supplied by imports. The switch raises value per tonne more than volume, adding roughly +0.9% to yearly growth.
Renewable oil targets at major tire makers
Goodyear plans to phase out petroleum-based oils by 2040 and already uses soybean oil at Lawton and other plants. Continental aims for more than 40% renewable and recycled materials by 2030, up from 26% in 2024. Michelin, Bridgestone and Pirelli have similar targets. Renewable oils sell at a premium and grow at 9.40% a year. This driver adds close to 0.7 point to the market's growth rate each year, rising after 2030.
Opportunities
Mass-balance certified process oils
Tire makers using mass balance accounting need ISCC PLUS certified oils from tall oil, pyrolysis oil or used cooking oil. Refiners that can certify process oil streams can sign long contracts at premium prices.
Middle East base oil hubs for Indian and African buyers
New base oil supply agreements at Yanbu, such as Apar's in June 2026, show Gulf refiners can feed specialty oil plants in India and East Africa as Asian Group I supply shrinks.
Asia Pacific holds the largest share, while Africa is the fastest-growing region at 4.54%
Asia Pacific (APAC)
In 2025 the region holds 56.80% of the Rubber Process Oil market, worth USD 1,749.4 Million. Asia Pacific reaches USD 2,701.3 Million by 2035 at a 4.44% CAGR. India adds supply through Gandhar Oil Refinery, Apar Industries and a new Panama Petrochem plant opened in July 2026, while ENEOS in Japan exits lubricant production at Yokohama between 2026 and 2028.
Europe
Regional demand totals USD 505.1 Million in 2025, a 16.40% share. Europe reaches USD 636.6 Million by 2035 at 2.34% a year. ETRMA reported 57.28 million consumer replacement tires sold in the first quarter of 2025, and H&R in Hamburg and Salzbergen, Nynas in Sweden and Repsol in Spain supply most local TDAE and naphthenic oil.
North America
The region accounts for 14.30% of 2025 revenue, or USD 440.4 Million. North America reaches USD 582.8 Million by 2035, growing at 2.84% a year. USTMA projected 337.4 million US tire shipments in 2025, Ergon runs about 1.2 million tonnes a year of naphthenic capacity at Vicksburg, Mississippi, and Goodyear uses soybean oil at Lawton.
Latin America
Sales here reach USD 175.6 Million in 2025, a 5.70% share. Latin America grows to USD 255.9 Million by 2035 at a 3.84% CAGR. Brazil hosts tire plants run by Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Continental and Michelin, and Mexico's tire plants serve both local vehicle assembly and export demand.
Middle East
Revenue stands at USD 129.4 Million in 2025, a 4.20% share. The Middle East reaches USD 197.8 Million by 2035 at a 4.34% CAGR. Iran's Behran Oil produces process oils for local tire makers, and Saudi Arabia's LubeHub Value Park at Yanbu signed an Apar supply deal in June 2026.
Africa
The continent holds 2.60% of 2025 sales, worth USD 80.1 Million, and grows fastest, reaching USD 124.8 Million by 2035 at a 4.54% CAGR. South Africa lost local Group I supply when the Sapref and Engen Durban refineries closed, and tire plants in South Africa and Morocco now import process oil.

Dedicated specialty refiners, not oil majors, set prices in Rubber Process Oil
Supply is concentrated among a small group of specialty refiners with extraction or hydrotreating units, plus oil majors that sell extracts as by-products. Indian makers have grown into a third force that serves Asian tire plants. We group suppliers as follows.
European low-PAH specialists
H&R GmbH and Co. KGaA runs refineries in Hamburg and Salzbergen and is a leading TDAE and RAE supplier to European tire makers, with 2025 revenue of EUR 1,242.2 million. Nynas AB of Sweden sells NYTEX naphthenic process oils and reported higher margins in 2025. Repsol supplies MES and TDAE extender oils to Spanish and European plants.
North American naphthenic producers
Ergon Inc. calls itself the largest naphthenic producer, with about 1.2 million tonnes a year of capacity at Vicksburg. Calumet sells naphthenic and paraffinic specialty oils from Shreveport, and HF Sinclair markets specialty base oils through Petro-Canada Lubricants. These firms supply both tire and industrial rubber goods makers.
Indian specialty oil makers
Gandhar Oil Refinery sells under the Divyol brand from Silvassa, Taloja and the UAE. Apar Industries reported fiscal 2026 revenue of Rs 22,902 crore, with its transformer and specialty oils segment at Rs 5,373 crore. Panama Petrochem opened a new plant in 2026. Their cost base and proximity to CEAT, Apollo Tyres and MRF make them strong in Asia and Africa.
Oil majors and national refiners
Shell, ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies sell aromatic extracts and paraffinic oils from base oil refineries, though closures at Wesseling, Gonfreville and others are shrinking their role. ENEOS is leaving lubricant production at Yokohama, PetroChina scheduled the Dalian closure, and Behran Oil serves Iranian demand. As majors retreat, the Rubber Process Oil market tilts toward dedicated suppliers.

Primary Interview Insights
How fast are tire makers moving to renewable oils?
Compounders told us renewable oils are now standard in some premium and all-season lines but still cost more than TDAE. Most expect wider use after 2030 as targets bind.
How are refinery closures affecting procurement?
Buyers said they have added second suppliers in India and the Middle East since Asian Group I plants began closing. Contract lengths have grown from one year to two or three.
Why are Asian plants switching from DAE?
Tire makers exporting to Europe said running one low-PAH compound across all plants is cheaper than two recipes. Domestic-only plants in some markets still use DAE for price.
Is non-tire demand growing?
Suppliers said hoses, belts and footwear are steady but slower than tires. Polymer modification and TPE compounds offer the best non-tire growth.
Why are distributors gaining share?
Small rubber goods makers told us they cannot commit to annual contracts and prefer drums or flexitanks on short notice. Distributors in India and Vietnam carry stock for them.
