Lithium Grease Market

Lithium Grease Market by type (Simple and Complex), End-use industry (Automotive & Transportation, Industrial, Building, Mining, Others), and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

Report Code: UC 5962 Jan, 2025, by marketsandmarkets.com

The lithium grease market is projected to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.1% from USD 3.5 billion in 2022. Lithium Grease (extreme pressure) is an in-organic clay-based grease for plain and rolling bearings operating at temperatures higher than those at which conventional soap-based greases can be used. This grease is amber colored multipurpose grease containing anti-corrosion and extreme pressure additives and is suitable for most conditions especially at elevated temperatures. The grease performance is limited only by the properties of the base oil.

Market Dynamics

Driver: Increase in demand for automotive in emerging economies to drive the market

The automotive industry is one of the significant consumers of lithium grease. Lithium grease is used in various parts, joints of automobiles, and even in chassis & wheel bearing applications. In emerging markets like China, India, Brazil, and Mexico, the demand for automotive increases due to increased population, increased purchasing power, and rising per capita income. In 2021, according to OICA, more than 71 million vehicles were manufactured across the globe, which is a 5 million rise compared to the previous years.

Restraints: Volatility in price of raw material to affect the market

As raw material prices fluctuate, manufacturers find it challenging to maintain the constant cost of lithium grease. In recent years, there has been a shortage in lithium availability due to high demand from the EV industry. There is a sudden increase in demand for lithium, and hence the prices are rising at a high rate. In addition, there is a constant fluctuation in crude oil prices, which impacts the cost of base oil used in production.

Opportunities: Rise of automation in industries can drive the growth of market

Automation is the use of equipment and technology to automate production systems or processes to boost efficiency by decreasing manual labor. Automation has two main advantages: boosting production activities and reducing human errors. This keeps operations lean, efficient, and productive. There is an increase in the adoption of automation across different industries to increase production and reduce error and production costs.

“Heavy duty lithium grease was the largest source of Lithium Grease market in 2021, in terms of value”

General-purpose grease is suitable for all regular applications, whereas heavy-duty lithium grease is used in applications where the parts are in contact with high load and temperature. Heavy-duty grease is projected to witness significant growth due to the increased use of heavy machinery in construction, mining, and industrial manufacturing.

“The automotive & transportation segment were the largest end-use industry for Lithium Grease market in 2021, in terms of value”

Lithium grease is majorly used in automotive & transportation, industrial, building & construction, and mining. It is suitable for lubrication of a wide range of parts & joints of vehicles; hence as the production of vehicles is increased, the demand for lithium grease is expanding. It is used in the lubrication of electric and hybrid vehicles. Increasing demand for automotive and other vehicles in Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East regions are expected to drive the industry.

“Asia Pacific was the largest market for Lithium Grease in 2021, in terms of value.”

Asia Pacific was the most dominant and fastest-growing market. The region was led by China and is witnessing a surge in demand from the automotive & transportation sector, increasing mining activities, and manufacturing & machinery sector. Countries such as India, and Japan, South Korea, are also expected to increase their manufacturing & construction activities which would further propel the demand.
