Key Market Trends

Automotive & Other Transportation to Dominate the Market

The demand from the automotive sector contributes significantly to the global grease market. The growing OEM and RMO markets in the automotive industry are expected to have a direct impact on the demand for greases during the forecast period.
According to the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI), NLGI 2 grade grease is widely preferred for automotive applications.
Automotive greases are used to lubricate the chassis, suspension, and steering. Additionally, automotive greases can be classified on the basis of their GC and LB ratings. GC rating can be employed for lubrication of axle and wheel, whereas LB can be used for lubrication of different type of joints, including U-joints and ball joints, tie-rod ends, and control arm-shafts.
The automotive is the largest and fastest-growing end-user industry for grease. Passenger and commercial vehicles are driving the demand for high-performance grease in the automotive industry.
In the automotive industry, grease is used in various auto parts, such as wheel bearings, universal joints, suspensions, gears, switches, and connectors, because of their properties (which include mechanical stability, temperature tolerance, water resistance, and anti-oxidants). The need for high-performance grease is increasing, with the manufacture of machines and equipment for end-user industries.
Overall, with the increasing automotive production and sales coupled with marginal growths in aerospace, marine, and railway sector, the demand for grease from automotive & other transportation segment is projected to increase during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

Asia-Pacific was found to be the major market for the consumption of grease followed by North America and Europe.
China, India, and Indonesia are expected to be leading countries witnessing strong demand for grease consumption during the forecast period.
Asia-Pacific has been a potential region for the growth in automotive production and sales, with countries, such as China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia exhibiting constant growth rates in the recent past. However, there was a decline in automotive production in China and India in 2019. This is expected to recover by second half of 2020.
Other end-user industries, such as construction and manufacturing are growing, with increasing investments in ASEAN countries, which is further contributing to the growth of the lubricants consumption as a whole and grease in particular, in the region.
The aforementioned factors are contributing to the increasing demand for grease consumption in the region during the forecast period.
