Soap works as thickeners in the grease lubrication system. Grease is often applied by the grease gun. Soaps such as calcium stearate, sodium stearate, lithium stearate, etc. are used in the formulation of grease. Grease is also formed by inorganic thickeners such as clay and silica. Grease often used as industrial usage in industries such as automotive, general manufacturing, construction & off highways, and others.
The growing demand of grease for high performance lubrication solution in automotive, general manufacturing industries will drive the demand for the grease market. Additionally, the increasing demand of grease for the construction industry applications will further propel the demand growth for the grease market. Predominantly, fluctuating raw material prices and availability of cheaper alternatives of grease may hamper the demand growth for the grease market.
