Industrial greases are an incumbent part of machine maintenance operations around the
world. Unlike other lubricants which are amalgamations of base oils and additives, greases
contain another component called thickeners to provide them the necessary tribology for
their effective utilization in machines. Due to their semi-solid state, greases have a higher
viscosity index and, thus, are used in applications with higher torque. There are various
types of greases used in numerous applications based on the combination of thickeners,
base oil, and additives.
Among the regions, the market in Asia Pacific is expected to account for 41.5% volume share
of the overall industrial greases market, followed by North America and Europe, by 2015
end. Due to increase in manufacturing activity in Asia Pacific, the industrial greases market
in the region is projected to expand at a higher than average CAGR of 6.3% between 2015
and 2021 in terms of revenue. The market in China, which is anticipated to account for
35.94% revenue share of the overall market by 2015 end, is expected to be driven by the
rise of the manufacturing sector in the country. The industrial greases market in North
America and Europe is estimated to witness an average increase in revenue due to maturing
market conditions.
As of 2014, global industrial greases production is dominated by Mineral oil based greases,
and similar trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. Consumption of mineral
oil based greases is expected to be the highest in Asia Pacific due to higher application of
Group I base oils in the region, as compared to North America and Europe where Group I
base oil production has been declining. Semi-synthetic and synthetic base oil production in
the market is anticipated to increase at a promising double digit CAGR, respectively, from
2015 to 2021 in terms of volume.

Market History:
Industrial greases are used to reduce the friction between two objects attached and rotating relative to
each other. They possess higher viscosity index than lubricants due to a presence of thickeners which
provide them a semi-solid physical state. Industrial greases are formed by the amalgamation of base oil
(75% - 90%), thickener (15% -5%), and additives (10% - 5%) in varying quantities to achieve certain
properties in the end product.
Industrial greases market trails the GDP due to their widespread application in manufacturing of goods
and automotive maintenance operations. Due to the surge in manufacturing in Asia Pacific, the industrial
greases market in the region is estimated to witness growth, expanding at a CAGR of 6.3% between 2015
and 2021 in terms of revenue. With the anticipated increase in manufacturing in China in the coming
years, the demand for industrial greases in the country is expected to rise between 2015 and 2021. With
the rising operating time of machines and greater speed of operations, the need for industrial greases is
expected to increase by 2021. Besides, with increase in mechanization of manufacturing activities in
developed regions such as North America and Europe, demand for industrial greases is anticipated to
increase in these markets.
Industrial greases Market has categorized the global industrial greases market into key segments based
on thickener type, base oil type, applications, and geographic regions. Depending on the application
segment, the global industrial greases market is divided into various segments, such as other
manufacturing, automotive production, automobile, and other applications. Finally, on the basis of
geographic regions, the overall industrial greases market is segmented into North America, Europe, AsiaPacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.
Amongst the aforementioned region based segments in the global industrial greases market, Asia Pacific
is expected to expand at an accelerated CAGR of 4.6%, in terms of volume, during the forecast period.
The region is expected to account for a volume share of around 41.58% of the global industrial greases
market by the end of 2015. In terms of market value, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for a major value
share of the global industrial greases market during the forecast period.
Amongst the application segments of the global industrial greases market, the on a road and other
manufacturing segments are slated to expand at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, in terms of
volume. The growth of this segment is primarily driven by the increase in run time, rise in mechanization,
and increasing GDP. In terms of market value, the other manufacturing segment is expected to expand at
a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.
