Grease is a semi-solid lubricant. It typically comprises soap blended with either mineral or vegetable oil. At times, soft solid or high viscosity liquid materials used as lubricants are described as greases. However, they lack the property of shear-thinning, which is a characteristic of grease. For instance, petroleum jellies (such as Vaseline) are not generally categorized as greases.

Scope of the Report:
This report focuses on the Grease Additives in global market, especially in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa. This report categorizes the market based on manufacturers, regions, type and application.
The ability to perform well at high temperatures is extremely crucial for grease additives to be used for different end-user applications. This requirement has augmented the demand for complex soap-based greases as they perform well in different temperature ranges compared to simple soap-based greases. Grease additives influence energy efficiency by reducing the energy losses in engines due to friction in hydrodynamic, lubrication regimes, and elasto-hydrodynamics. The increased adoption of energy-efficient measures through friction modification and viscosity optimization are acting as an effective driver of the global grease additives market. The market is witnessing the use of high-performing biodegradable greases and their additives, which are either vegetable oil-based or based on synthetic esters. These greases do not release harmful residues after use and degrade sooner than the mineral-based alternatives. Moreover, the manufacture of biodegradable greases complies with the regulatory and environmental guidelines and also help in improved profit margins on account of the sales of value-added products.
The worldwide market for Grease Additives is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly xx% over the next five years, will reach xx million US$ in 2023, from xx million US$ in 2017, according to a new study.
