Oil Downstream Products Global Market Report 2024

The oil downstream products market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2903.24 billion in 2023 to $3046.83 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The historical period's growth can be credited to factors such as economic expansion and industrialization, the demand from the automotive industry, growth in the petrochemical sector, infrastructure development, and the dynamics of global trade and transportation.

The oil downstream products market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3609.01 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The forecasted growth in the upcoming period can be associated with the adoption of electric vehicles (EV), the shift towards renewable energy, initiatives promoting carbon capture and utilization, efforts towards energy efficiency, and the evolving dynamics of global trade. Key trends anticipated in this period encompass the increased prominence of biofuels and alternative fuels, substantial investments in petrochemicals, a heightened focus on cleaner fuels, the expansion of refining capacities, the digital transformation of downstream operations, and the establishment of strategic alliances and partnerships.

The growth of the global oil downstream products market was significantly hampered by disruptions in oil supply in specific markets, attributed to political instability and extremism. Major crude oil exporters such as Libya, Iraq, Nigeria, and Colombia experienced interruptions due to political instability and terrorist attacks on oil and gas wells and refineries, causing a notable impact on market growth. A case in point is the terrorist attack in May 2021, where explosives were utilized to set fire to two wells in a small oilfield in northern Iraq, leading to substantial disruption in oil and gas supplies.

Anticipated growth in the oil downstream products market is driven by the increasing demand for petroleum products. These products, derived from crude oil and hydrocarbons in natural gas, hold commercial value and are used to refine crude oil into consumable items marketed to industrial or retail end customers. As an illustration, the International Energy Agency reported in July 2023 that global diesel or gasoil demand reached 1.5 million barrels per day in 2021, highlighting the rising demand for petroleum products as a growth factor in the market.

Companies are adopting gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology to produce high-quality petroleum products. GTL technology converts natural gas into liquid products such as transportation fuels, motor oils, naphtha, diesel, and waxes. This cleaner-burning fossil fuel is abundant, versatile, and cost-effective. Major companies such as Shell, Chevron, and PetroSA have embraced GTL technology to manufacture transportation fuels, oils, and by-products used in the production of plastics, detergents, and cosmetics.

Key players in the oil downstream products market are emphasizing innovation in product development. For instance, epoxy intumescent coatings, such as Hempafire XTR 100 launched by Hempel Group, offer fire resistance by expanding during heat exposure to form a thick, insulating char layer. This UL 1709-certified hydrocarbon passive fire protection coating provides safety and project benefits, insulating steel during a hydrocarbon pool fire and allowing for an extended period to safely evacuate workers and protect property and equipment during firefighting efforts.
