Market Overview:

The global vacuum gas oil market size reached US$ 414.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 562.7 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% during 2023-2028. The increasing demand for gasoline and diesel, significant technological advancements, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Vacuum gas oil (VGO), also known as cat feed, is a heavy, residual oil product obtained after the distillation of crude oil that can be further refined in a catalytic cracking unit. It is produced through a vacuum distillation column using different processes, such as hydrogenation and cracking. It is widely used to manufacture gasoline, gas, oil, and other by-products. VGO is also used as feed in cracking systems, including hydrocracker and fluid cracking catalytic cracking. These systems upgrade VGO into products, such as gasoline and diesel; if not upgraded, they can blend into residual fuel oil. VGO is an essential element of the petroleum hydrocarbon distillate family that contains hydrocarbon material, which is denser than diesel.

Global Vacuum Gas Oil Market

Vacuum Gas Oil Market Trends:

The increasing demand for gasoline and diesel across the globe is one of the key factors driving the market growth. VGO is processed through various processes to remove impurities and convert them into lighter products such as gasoline and diesel. In line with this, the widespread utilization of diesel and gasoline to fuel internal combustion engines for motorbikes, trucks, boats, and other transport vehicles is favoring the market growth. Moreover, the rapidly expanding automotive industry is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the increasing adoption of the hydrotreating process that uses hydrogen gas to remove impurities, such as sulfur and nitrogen, from VGO and refines and improves the quality of VGO and makes it a more desirable feedstock for the production of transportation fuels is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the rising demand for fossil fuels across several sectors is propelling the market growth. VGO is extensively used as an intermediate feedstock to upsurge diesel and gasoline output from the refineries. Furthermore, significant technological advancements to introduce new integrated refining and petrochemical techniques that help produce higher quality fuels from VGO are positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including the rising expenditure capacities of consumers, extensive research and development (R&D) activities in fluid catalytic cracking process and hydrocracking and process help to increase the output, widespread product adoption in cracking systems, and the implementation of various government initiatives to promote the use of lower sulfur VGO, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
