UAE has been the largest country operating in MENA lubricants market in terms of production as of 2014. The country majorly controls and supervises its oil & gas related activities through Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) which is regarded as the fourth largest oil & gas Company across the globe. During 2014, ADNOC have commanded a major market share in UAE on the basis of domestic sales volume. The domestic consumption of lubricants in UAE has been relatively small in comparison to its production. Therefore, the country exports a significant part of production to Middle East and East African countries along with neighboring countries including The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Africa. East Africa and the CIS have emerged as the major export destinations for lubricants from the UAE.
Exports from the UAE majorly consist of gear oils and greases, which has contributed majority to its exports, while industrial lubricants also occupy a significant share in the country’s export of lubricants. Additionally, the base oil demand in the country is almost double than the production levels because of which base oil is imported from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Europe, Korea and the CIS.
UAE lubricants market is a comparatively sophisticated market in terms of quality of lubricants used. Usage of synthetics and semi synthetics is higher in UAE in comparison to any other country in the MENA region. It is further anticipated that buyers will increasingly opt for high quality lubricating oil due to increased awareness as well as due to high purchasing power. Since the domestic market of UAE is mature and the usage of premium quality lubricants reduces drainage intervals, the consumption of lubricants will rise at a modest rate of around 3% during 2015-2019.
UAE has established as a key business hub for lubricants production in the overall MENA region. The country has a large number of blending facilities in Sharjah, Fujairah and Jebel Ali. It has over 20 blending plants or production of lubricants, with much of the attention focused towards export markets.
