未来几年全球合成基础油需求将快速增长

中国石化新闻网讯 据《亚洲润滑油周报》10月26日刊消息，克莱恩咨询公司最新报告显示，2022年前全球合成基础油需求预计将以年均约6%的速度快速增长，其中亚太地区的需求增速最快，主要是由于高质量成品润滑油的需求正在日益增加。

克莱恩公司项目经理Sharbel Luzuriaga表示：“尽管合成基础油只占全球成品润滑油行业很小的比重，大约为6%或7%，但由于价值和需求快速增长，这是一个有吸引力的领域。”

克莱恩公司预计，未来四年，亚太地区API III类基础油需求将以年均约9%的速度快速增长，而聚α烯烃（PAO）需求将以年均约6%的速度增长。

Growth Forecast for Synthetic Base Oil

Global demand for synthetic base stocks is predicted to increase at a compound annual rate of roughly 6 percent through 2022, due to increasing demand for higher quality finished lubes, an industry consultant said last week. Kline & Co. predicts the rate of growth will be fastest in the Asia-Pacific region.

“Although synthetic base stocks make up a small percentage – around 6 percent or 7 percent – of the global finished lubricant industry, it is an attractive segment because of the tight value and growth,” said Sharbel Luzuriaga, project manager at Kline.

Kline projects Asia-Pacific demand for API Group III base oils to jump at a compound annual rate of approximately 9 percent over the next four years. Polyalphaolefin demand in the region is expected to increase at a compound annual rate of about 6 percent.
