This cheaper fuel is utilized for domestic power generation and bunkering, freeing up domestic crude for the global market. <br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Specialized Lubricants &amp; Additives: <\/strong>The regional lubricants market reached $9.87 billion in 2025, driven by a 3.4% CAGR. Despite being major oil producers, the region remains heavily dependent on imports for high-grade base oils and synthetic additives required for modern automotive and industrial machinery.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Strategic Diversification &amp; Stocks: <\/strong>By early 2026, geopolitical volatility pushed Brent prices toward $80\/bbl, prompting regional players to prioritize the build-up of oil on water and strategic storage. While India and China remain the primary buyers of Middle Eastern crude, regional importers are focusing on securing refined products to bridge gaps in local refining capacity.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Infrastructure for Re-export:<\/strong>The UAE\u2019s Port of Fujairah continues to serve as the region&#8217;s busiest hub for bunker fuel imports and blending, facilitating the flow of mineral fuels through the Strait of Hormuz despite heightened insurance and security risks.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8e1eca elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c8e1eca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Middle East Top 5 Imports by HS code: 8479, Machinery &amp; Equipment<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9682023 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9682023\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>TradeInt data for 2025 shows that Iraq ranks first in Middle East HS 8479 machinery imports at $149.25 million, closely followed by the UAE at $146.93 million and Saudi Arabia at $124.02 million.
