Market Introduction

Grease is a solid or semi-solid lubricating oil. It is usually comprised of mineral oil and thickeners such as calcium-based soap and lithium-based soaps. Greases may also contain additional lubricating particles, such as molybdenum disulfide, graphite, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Grease possesses characteristic feature such as high initial viscosity, which make it frictional. It is popularly used across various industries such as automobile, railway, construction, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, mining and numerous others. For rails, greases can be used in mechanisms where lubrication is required frequently and where a lubricating oil does not stay for long. Grease acts as a sealant to avert ingress of water and incompressible materials. Grease is also being used for maintenance of various rail elements such as railway axles & wheels, bearings & chains, brake elements, interior components, pantographs and railway track components, as it prevents entry of contaminants or loss of lubricant. Soft grease used in gearboxes, for noise reduction, as leakage resistant, and for suspension of solid additives. Greased components consumes a small amount of power and is an even less vulnerable impact to any wear tear damage. Thus, the regular maintenance activities of different parts used in railway transportation is expected to create a significant demand for rail greases in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the rail greases market.

    Market Overview and Dynamics

    The rail greases market in North America is expected to reach US$ 92.46 million by 2027 from

    US$ 74.62 million in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2019 to 2027. Using grease in the railways and trains reduces surface damage and subsurface deformation of rail curves. Most of these greases consist of petroleum hydrocarbons. After the operation, these lubricants fall on the railroad tracks and pollute the environment. These greases do not decompose in natural conditions and damage ecosystems associated with the rail. Thus, to improve the ecological compatibility of works and equipment, new biodegradable, eco-friendly lubricants are developed by the key players operating in the market. These biodegradable greases are high performing and their additives are either synthetic ester or vegetable oil based. It degrades sooner compared to its mineral oil-based alternatives and do not release environmentally harmful residues after use. Companies operating in the North America Rail Greases Market are focusing on development of such products through its constant research and development activities. For instance, in March 2018, the company introduces biodegradable rail flank lubricating grease for stationary systems. Moreover, the manufacturers of these greases comply with environmental regulations. Thus, the demand for biodegradable greases is projected to boost over the forecast period due to increasing concern towards the environment across North America.

    COVID-19 has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. In North America, the US has the highest number of confirmed cases of coronavirus, as, compared to Canada and Mexico. This is likely to impact the rail transport in the country as, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the supply and distribution chain is likely to get affected. In addition, the overall manufacturing processes, research, and development activities will also impact market growth.
