In terms of revenue, lithium complex thickener accounted as the largest segment in 2016 and is anticipated to continue its trends with a growth rate of 4.7% over the forecast period. Increasing need for environmentally compatible and multi-purpose grease are the factors anticipated to propel the growth. Marine grease is extensively used in various end-use segments including bulk carrier & cargo ships, passenger ships, tankers, and others. It is largely used in bulk carrier and cargo ships on account of increasing volume of heavy cargo and the products transported through ships. Increasing transshipment of cargos through ships led to increasing need for marine grease in order to maintain the efficiency and performance of the ship.
Further key findings from the report suggest:
- Lithium complex based thickener segment is expected to experience fastest growth in terms of value at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2017 to 2025 due to its property to serve as multipurpose grease
- Bulk carrier & cargo ships are expected to continue its dominance as the largest end-use segment in terms of revenue and is anticipated to reach USD 150.9 million by 2025. Rising purchasing power parity among emerging economies is expected to boost the growth of operation and maintenance of passenger ship segment which in-turn would boost the marine grease, expanding at a CAGR of 5.2% between the period from 2017 to 2025
- Asia Pacific market was valued at USD 88.2 million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 139.8 million by 2025. Asia Pacific is expected to experience a surge in demand over the next eight years owing to new ports constructed in this region. In terms of revenue, the regional market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2017 to 2025

The demand is expected to surge owing to the development of new ports in the Asia Pacific region. Different grades as classified by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) are used in various end-use areas as they provide the required properties such as resistance to water wash out, and corrosion prevention. Various types of NLGI graded greases are available to cater the requirement of the different types of vessels.
Marine grease reduces the friction between rotating machine parts to increase output efficiency of the engine, machinery, and several components installed in the ship. In addition, it has the capability to gel up with water, which functions efficiently even after water leakage. Among the various thicker types, lithium complex grease is extensively used in the shipping industry.
However, the presence of regulatory standards pertaining to the clean aquatic environment across the globe is expected to restrain the market growth over the forecast period. Different hazardous issues may arise from the spillage of in aquatic bodies, owing to which, stringent regulations have been imposed by various regulatory bodies such as REACH, and VGP. The U.S. EPA has issued Vessel General Permit (VGP) regulations for the usage of environment-friendly lubricants in all commercial vessels longer than 79 feet.
