Greases are manufactured using base oil, which is categorized as mineral oil, synthetic oil, and bio-based oil. Mineral oil and synthetic oil are sourced from petroleum crude, whereas bio-based oils are sourced from vegetable oil. The primary factor that is driving the global grease market is rising automation in various industries, lower crude oil prices to benefit grease suppliers after COVID-19, and improved quality of grease.
Based on base oil, the market is segmented into mineral oil, synthetic oil, and bio-based oil. The mineral oil segment dominated the overall grease market, in terms of value, in 2021 and is projected to lead the market during the forecast period. The mineral oil segment accounts for the major share due to its easy availability and low cost, particularly in developing regions.
Based on thickener type, the global grease market is segmented into metallic soap, non-soap, inorganic, and others. Metallic soap thickener accounts for the major share of the overall market and is also projected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period.
