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.
