The report, now available on ASDReports, "High Temperature Grease & Lubricants Market by Type (Soap Thickener and Non-Soap Thickener), by Application (Industrial and Automotive), and by Region (APAC, EU, NA, MEA, and LA) - Global Forecast to 2021", The high temperature grease & lubricants market size is projected to reach USD 26.49 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2016 and 2021.

The increasing demand of automobiles in emerging economies such as China and India is fueling the growth of the high temperature grease & lubricants market in the region. Another major factor contributing to the growth of the market is soaring demand for lithium complex soap thickener. The main advantage of lithium complex soap thickener based-grease over simple conventional soap thickener-based grease is their capability of maintaining excellent stability at higher temperature besides other enhanced properties such as load bearing, water resistance, rust protection, and so on.

Soap thickener to account for the major share of the high temperature grease & lubricants market till 2021

The high temperature grease & lubricants market is segmented by thickener type, namely, soap thickener and non-soap thickener. Soap thickener is the most preferred type of high temperature grease & lubricant and holds the major market share in global high temperature grease & lubricants market. Soap thickener is further segmented into lithium complex, aluminium complex, calcium sulphonate, and others. The high demand for soap thickener is primarily attributed to its improved oxidative stability, high operational temperature range, and high usage in the industrial and automotive sectors.
