Middle East and Africa Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) Base Oil Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Market Analysis and Insights: Middle East and Africa Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) Base Oil Market

Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oil market is expected to gain significant growth in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Data Bridge Market Research analyzes that the market is growing at a CAGR of 2.7% in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029 and expected to reach USD 576,205.62 thousand by 2029.

PAG oil or polyalkylene glycol is completely synthetic hygroscopic oil intended specifically for air conditioning compressors in automobiles. It is widely used as compressor oil. In addition, it is used in applications such as worn gear lubricant, anhydrous fire resistant hydraulic fluid, metal working fluid, and others. These PAG oils have high viscosity index, good water solubility, shear stability, and less volatility under high temperatures. PAG base oils are also used as textile lubricants and quenchants in metal heat treating. 

Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oils are classified by their weight percent composition of oxypropylene versus oxyethylene units in the polymer chain. Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oils with 100 weight percent oxypropylene groups are water insoluble; whereas those with 50 to 75 weight percent oxyethylene are water soluble at ambient temperatures. Although polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oils have long been used as industrial lubricants, recent work has led to the development of polyalkylene glycol (PAG) lubricants for use in equipment in the food processing industry. These products are known as food-grade approved lubricants.

Significant demand for polyalkylene glycol base oils in the automotive industry has propelled the growth of the polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oils market. The considerable increase in construction activities and infrastructural development across the globe is expected to further boost the market growth. The major restraint which is impacting the global polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oil market negatively is volatility in the crude oil prices. On the other hand, increasing use of bio-degradable PAG oils can bring opportunities for the global polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oil market. However, presence of substitutes in the market is projected to challenge the market growth in the near future.
