Market Overview:
The global Lithium Railway Grease market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for lithium railway grease from various applications such as rail curves, rail switch plates and turnouts, bearings & wheels, and others. North America is expected to lead the global Lithium Railway Grease market during the forecast period owing to the presence of key players in this region and rising demand for lithium railway grease from various end-use industries.
Product Definition:
Lithium Railway Grease is a type of grease that is used in railway applications. It is important because it helps to keep the trains moving smoothly and prevents them from getting stuck.
Lithium Grease:
Lithium grease is a lithium-based grease, which has high thermal stability and low volatility. It provides excellent protection to the lithium metal & its alloys against oxidation and other chemical reactions. The product also finds application in the maintenance of electric vehicles (EV) as it helps prevent corrosion of battery components due to Electrolyte Flux (E).
Calcium Crease:
Calcium crease is a lithium grease used in the railway industry to provide lubrication for wheel and axle operations. It has applications in both diesel and electric locomotives, where it is applied to the free spinning wheels as well as to those that are already rotating. The product also finds application in railcar maintenance, where it is applied between two wheelsets or between a set of axles and bearings.
Application Insights:
Railway applications accounted for the largest market share of more than 70% in 2017. The railway application segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand from passenger and freight trains. Lithium grease helps in minimizing rail adhesion, which results in increased reliability of train operations and reduced maintenance costs.
The other applications include marine, air transportation, mining equipment, industrial machinery and sports shoes among others. Other greases are used for a variety of purposes including lubrication & cooling systems on industrial machinery & vehicles as well as aircraft components & sporting equipment among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of key lithium battery manufacturers such as Panasonic, Samsung, LG Chem, and others has resulted in high demand for lithium grease from various end-use applications. China is a major consumer owing to increasing production of electric vehicles in this country. Lithium batteries are used for energy storage purposes in EVs.
Europe also held a significant market share followed by North America region due to growing adoption rate of electric vehicles across these regions coupled with rising awareness regarding environment protection.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive and transportation sector
- Growing investments in the railway infrastructure
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using lithium railway grease
- Technological advancements in railway greasing systems
- Growing demand for eco-friendly products
