Conventional oil is preferred for older engines since synthetic oil has the potential to break down and cause oil valves to leak. Several manufacturers advise using conventional oil as synthetic oil is frequently used only in high-end vehicles and trucks. Automakers often utilize conventional oil while manufacturing their own brand of vehicles. These factors are projected to drive the conventional oil market share in the future.
Conventional oil protects the engine well, but it does contain harmful pollutants. Conventional oil is made by refining it to provide crude oil with the properties needed for lubricating an engine. Conventional oil contains some intrinsic irregularity in its molecular structure, nevertheless, as it is produced through a natural process. These impurities could increase friction and hasten the oil's decomposition. On the other hand, fully synthetic oil with a more regular molecular structure is used to manufacture synthetic oil. Synthetic oil will last longer and function better in challenging settings as a result. All of these issues are anticipated to hinder the market demand for conventional oil during the forecast years.
The development of advanced conventional oil-based engine oil has been prompted by the rise in and application of cutting-edge technology on the global market. The increase in the use of cutting-edge fuel and lubricant technology is helping in the creation of improved engine oil for automotive applications. These continuous advancements are expected to fuel market expansion during the forecast period.
COVID-19 had a negative influence on the automobile engine oil market due to the severe lockdowns and social distancing norms implemented to contain the virus's spread. Economic instability, a partial corporate shutdown, and poor consumer confidence all hampered demand for vehicle engine oil. During the pandemic, the supply chain was affected due to delays in logistics activities. The world economy and oil markets are recouping from the historic drop in demand induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The massive inventory surplus that accumulated in the year 2020 is being depleted, and global oil stockpiles, excluding strategic reserves, were returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2021. Nonetheless, there may be no return to a normal level for the oil market in the post-pandemic period.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, “Conventional Oil Market," the conventional oil market was valued at $2.5 trillion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $4690.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2031.Conventional oil is an organic material that 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 distinct from oil extracted from oil sands through drilling and pumping.
The cost-effectiveness of conventional oil, which requires relatively minimal processing prior to refining, is expected to propel market expansion. For older engines, conventional oil is preferable since synthetic oil has the potential to break down and cause oil valves to leak. Because synthetic oil is frequently used only in high-end vehicles and trucks, many auto manufacturers recommend utilising traditional oil. When manufacturing their brand of automobiles, automakers often use conventional oil in their plants. These factors are anticipated to drive conventional oil market share in the future years.
Key factors driving the growth of the conventional oil market are an increase in the usage of modern technology, which is resulting in the creation of advanced engine oil. The increase in the use of modern fuel and lubricant technology aids in the creation of superior engine oil for automotive applications. Such continuous innovations are projected to drive the conventional oil market expansion during the forecast period. The leading suppliers in the market are continually investing in enhancing conventional oil-based engine oil performance, for example, by utilizing cutting-edge antioxidants, surfactants, high-pressure agents, and improved corrosion inhibitors. The global conventional oil market is seeing an increase in the usage of sophisticated bonding technology, which involves the use of high-pressure lubricants created through the chemical treatment of hydrocarbons. Such modern lubricants can withstand high temperatures and pressure owing to their long-chain molecular structure and higher stability. They allow the engine oil to have high levels of anti-corrosion qualities in addition to resistance to high temperatures and pressure. Therefore, these factors are projected to boost the conventional oil market expansion during the forecast period.
Advances in good drilling and completion technologies have enabled the energy industry to access new supplies of oil and natural gas to fulfill rising global demand. New technologies have also helped to lessen the environmental impact of energy production by allowing more oil and gas to be produced with fewer wells. Technological advancements will be crucial in satisfying global energy demand as they enable the discovery of new resources, access to harsh or isolated places, and the development of challenging reservoirs that were previously uneconomic to produce. All these advancements in the conventional oil sector are projected to create growth opportunities for the key players operating in the market in the upcoming years.
