Food grade mineral oil, also known as "white oil" or "liquid paraffin," is a refined product derived from non-vegetable mineral sources such as petroleum or a blend of middle spectrum alkanes. These oils go through a complicated process over time that results in molecules joining together to form bigger chemical chains. When compared to other derivatives derived by distilling petroleum, food grade mineral oils have a lower value in the industrial world.
These oils are colorless, odorless, tasteless, and hydrophobic, and their color does not change over time. When paraffinic or naphthenic base oils were treated with sulfuric acid, food-grade mineral oils were created as by-products of sulfonate synthesis. All unsaturated and aromatic chemicals, nitrogen and sulphur impurities, hazardous chemicals, and color-forming substances are removed during this process.
Natural oxidation inhibitors are also removed.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- The COVID-19 epidemic has had a detrimental influence on the food grade mineral oil business. Many countries have enacted a range of restrictive measures to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which have had a detrimental impact on demand and, as a result, on industrial productivity in many fields.
- Due to a huge change in the supply chain, the industry is struggling. To meet demand in the past, food processing industries had excess capacity in warehouses or on production lines.
- Manufacturing enterprises may find it challenging to maintain inventory in 2020 due to supply disruptions. This has had an impact on food and beverage operations across the country. However, it is projected that the situation would improve in 2021, resuming the market's growth trajectory.
Top Impacting Factors
- The food grade mineral oil market is predicted to benefit from the growing demand for food product modifications as a result of rising disposable income and changing lifestyles among the majority of the world's population.
- The food grade mineral oil market in developing nations is projected to be driven by WHO (World Health Organization) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) permission for food grade mineral oil to be used in food preparation.
- The growing demand for baby oils and lotions in developing economies such as China, India, Canada, and Denmark, as a result of increased personal care awareness, is likely to boost the food grade mineral oil market in these provinces.
Market Trends
End-user industries' increasing demand for the product will help the food-grade mineral oil industry
The global market for food grade mineral oil is being pushed by increased demand from end user industries in expanding Latin American and Asian economies such as Malaysia, Singapore, India, Brazil, and China. These countries have set up a number of opportunities for the food-grade mineral oil business to grow.
