supply of base oil, locally re-refined
base oils have become an alternative
feedstock. "For instance, in China,
many small blenders are mainly focused on offering acceptable-quality lubricants at low prices and use re-refined
base stocks. These companies blend
re-refined base oils with virgin base oils
to reduce their raw material cost," said
Dutta. "In developing markets like
China and India, where demand for
API Group II base stocks is less than
in developed markets, re-refiners have
kept their focus on producing Group I
oils. They mostly sell to small blenders."
Many Group I and Group II re-refined base oil plants in Asia are half to
one-third the size of those in Western
Europe and North America. Industry
experts agree that unlike Vietnam
and Australia, where regulations and

Europe and North America."
enforcement play a big role in used
oil feedstock collection, development
of re-refineries in other parts of the
region is expected to be limited.
"[Currently], used oil collection in
China and India are below average
compared to Western Europe and
North America, due to regulation
enforcements," said Mahajan.

However, in the future, "China and
Thailand are expected to see the most
growth in collection, as collection by
licensed collectors improves during
2015 to 2025. Other markets will see
slightly slower improvement in used
oil collection," said Dutta. Against
this background, "China is likely to
show growth in re-refining activities.
In China, the share of re-refining as
a percentage of used oil collected will
increase from 70 percent in 2015 to
74 percent by 2025," he added. But
"[the] re-refining scenario in Indonesia,
India and Thailand is likely to remain
unchanged, unless stricter regulations
are enforced to promote the usage of
re-refined base stock," said Dutta.
