In 2024, Tanzania continued to rely heavily on mineral oil imports, with key suppliers being United Arab Emirates, India, Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market. Despite a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.96% from 2020 to 2024, there was a slight decline in the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -7.24%. This data suggests a dynamic market environment for mineral oil imports in Tanzania, influenced by global economic trends and regional dynamics.

The mineral oil market in Tanzania is characterized by its use in various applications, including automotive lubricants, industrial machinery, and cosmetics. The market is driven by the growth of the automotive industry, increased industrial activities, and rising consumer demand for personal care products. The availability of raw materials and government support for industrial growth positively impact the market. However, fluctuations in global oil prices and environmental concerns regarding mineral oil usage present challenges.
The mineral oil market in Tanzania is primarily driven by the demand from the automotive and industrial sectors for lubrication purposes.
