Market Dynamics

Introduction

Grease plays a pivotal role in ensuring smooth operations across various industries, from automotive to manufacturing and beyond. Its importance lies in reducing friction, preventing wear and tear, and enhancing the longevity of mechanical components. The function of grease is to remain in contact with and lubricate moving surfaces without leaking out under the force of gravity, centrifugal action or being squeezed out under pressure.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic sent shockwaves through the grease market, prompting swift adaptations to mitigate its impact. With manufacturing slowdowns and disruptions to supply chains, demand for lubricants fluctuated, challenging the industry. However, as economies reopened and operations resumed, strategic partnerships and a focus on sustainability propelled the market's recovery, showcasing resilience in navigating through turbulent times, and the pre-COVID demand was gradually restored.

Market Drivers

The grease market is being propelled by the surge in automation across industries, coupled with the growing automotive sector's demand for lubricants.
