Growing demand for petroleum jelly as UPS and technical in multiple end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics & personal care, food, and others is expected to boost consumption in the coming years.
The global petroleum jelly industry share is expected to reach a market value of USD 525.1 million in 2023. This may push the market size to USD 770.3 million in 2033. The overall market is expected to thrive at 4.2% CAGR.
A cable-filling compound such as petroleum jelly has been used in the telecommunication industry for years to prevent moisture from entering cables. As a result, the availability of broadband connections at home might increase the demand for optical fiber cables.
The dielectric properties of petroleum jelly are beneficial to optical fiber cables and copper telephone cables. Additionally, petroleum jelly’s physical and chemical properties are driving the petroleum jelly market growth.
Petroleum jelly’s market growth is mainly fueled by pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Leather, telecommunications, manufacturing, marine, and other sectors also use it. The material is also resistant to rust and insoluble in water and many other chemicals, so it may be an ideal choice for equipment that requires rust resistance.
Growing investment in manufacturing industries and downstream product utilization is expected to fuel market demand in the coming years as a moisture reduction agent and grooming aid in a wide range of skin treatments, cosmetics, and hair products.
