According to a new report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled ‘Alkylated Naphthalene Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026,’ the global alkylated naphthalene market was valued at around US$ 100 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period. Expansion in the global alkylated naphthalene market is attributed to factors such as increase in demand for alkylated naphthalene in automotive engine and gear oil applications. Alkylated naphthalene is used to replace some proportion of synthetic base oil in the lubricant formulations. It provides superior thermal and thermo-oxidative stability of the lubricant formulation. This improves the overall shelf life and performance of lubricants. The alkylated naphthalene market in Asia Pacific is expanding at a significant pace due to the increase in demand for alkylated naphthalene in automotive engine and gear oil applications.

Several economic factors such as over-production of crude oil, slowdown in the demand for oil from China, changes in energy portfolios of countries lead to fluctuations in oil prices. Crude oil is an indirect raw material employed in the production of alkylated naphthalene, the price fluctuations in crude oil reflect that of alkylated naphthalene. These factors have created volatility in alkylated naphthalene prices and demand for alkylated naphthalene. Volatility of raw material prices restraining the production of and demand for alkylated naphthalene.
Standard Grade to Dominate the Alkylated Naphthalene Market
In terms of grade, the global alkylated naphthalene market has been bifurcated into standard and food grade. The standard grade segment is anticipated to dominate the market due to its excellent cost to performance ratio. Additionally, extensive use of standard grade alkylated naphthalene in applications such as automotive engine and gear oils is anticipated to drive the market in the near future. The food grade segment is anticipated to expand at a significant pace from 2018 to 2026.
22–65 SUS Segment to Dominate the Alkylated Naphthalene Market
Based on viscosity Index, the global alkylated naphthalene market has been divided into 22–65 SUS, 65–90 SUS, 90–115 SUS, and above 115 SUS. The 22–65 SUS segment is anticipated to dominate the market due to the increase in consumption of these alkylated naphthalene in the automotive applications across the globe. Additionally, this segment is also anticipated to expand at a significant pace from 2018 to 2026.
