Oversupply of Group III base oils
The Middle East is experiencing an oversupply of Group III base oils, with abundant availability from regional refiners and competitive imports from Asia, putting downward pressure on prices. As a result, selling competition has intensified, causing the 4cst grade prices to drop by nearly 25% since June 2023, as of the week ending February 2. Argus Media
