Introduction to speaker and topics
The rapid new supply creation has consistently outpaced demand growth, resulting in a flood of new basestocks supply in the market.
This has put pressure on the existing high-cost plants to shut down. The Group I capacity reduction will constrain the availability of heavy neutrals and brightstocks. On the other hand, the tightening emission and fuel economy regulations and specification from original equipment manufacturers is driving the use of high quality and synthetic lubricants. The next five-year period will be interesting to watch as basestocks suppliers strive to place their surplus production and blenders explore alternatives to make up for the shortfall in certain grades of basestocks, optimize their cost, and explore new market positioning strategies using the basestocks available.
