Dublin, Dec. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Grease Market by Base Oil (Mineral, Synthetic, Bio-based), Thickener Type (Metallic Soap, Non-soap, Inorganic), And End-use Industry (Automotive, General Manufacturing, Construction, Metal, Mining, Agriculture, Power) - Global Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global grease market size is projected to reach USD 6.9 billion by 2027 from USD 5.8 billion in 2022, at a CAGR OF 3.6%. Grease are widely used in automotive, construction, general manufacturing, metal production, mining, power generation, agriculture, and other industries. It is used in places where lubricating oil would not stay in position. It consists of base oil and additives that are mixed with a thickener. Grease also acts as a sealant to prevent the ingress of water and incompressible material.

Mineral oil was the largest base oil of the global grease market, in terms of value, in 2021

This owes to the fact that mineral oil grease is cheaper than synthetic oil grease. Synthetic grease costs 40% - 50% more than mineral oil. Thus, mineral oil is widely used in price-sensitive regions like Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. However, mineral oil is projected to register slow growth in developed regions due to government regulations and growing environmental concerns.

By thickener type, metallic soap accounted for the largest market share in global grease market, in terms of value in 2021

Metallic soap was the largest segment in the global grease market by thickener type, in terms of value, in 2021. Metallic soap thickener has a broad range of usability including all types of soaps i.e., lithium, aluminum, calcium, sodium, and others. The market for this segment is driven by the increased demand from the automotive, industrial manufacturing, mining, marine, metal, power, and construction sectors. Widespread applications, oxidative stability, and operational temperature range are the key factors driving the metallic soap thickener segment of the grease market.

Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period, in terms of both volume and value

Asia Pacific was the largest grease market, in terms of value, in 2021. The growth is attributed to increasing urbanization, rapid growth in population, and blooming industrialization. The tremendous growth of industrial production, rise in the number of vehicles, and increased trade are primarily responsible for the high consumption of grease in this region.
