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). Different types of greases combine the lubricating properties of oils with added stickiness, which allows the lubricant to adhere to the surfaces better. Grease possesses characteristic features 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 frequently required, and lubricating oil does not stay for long. Grease acts as a sealant to avert ingress of water and incompressible materials. Soft grease is used in gearboxes, noise reduction, leakage resistance, and suspension of solid additives. Greased components consume a small amount of power and are an even less vulnerable impact to any wear tear damage. The demand of greases in the railway industry is growing due to the development of new railway infrastructure across significant countries such as the China, India and Rest of APAC coupled with the maintenance activities of different parts used in railway transportation.

Market Overview and Dynamics
The rail greases market in APAC is expected to reach US$ 176.93 million by 2027 from US$ 139.70 million in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2019 to 2027. Regular maintenance activities of different parts used in railway transportation is the key factor driving the APAC rail greases market. Railway vehicle elements such as axles & wheels, bearings & chains, brake elements, interior components, and pantographs need frequent maintenance and lubrication for smooth running and high performance. Applying greases on wheels offer various benefits such as it reduces labor costs, extends repair intervals, and reduces lubricant consumption. Using greases for railway vehicle elements offers various operation benefits such as increases equipment reliability, reduces unplanned downtime, reduces energy and fuel consumption, and improves equipment profitability. Moreover, greases can help in saving energy and reducing noise. The axle box bearing of a vehicle-track system is an important component of a railway and train bogie, which bears a variety of complicated stochastic loads between the track and bogie. The reliability and service life of axle box bearings can influence railway safety. Grease plays a major part in the lubrication of railway axlebox bearings as lubrication failures of axle box bearings can lead to accidents, such as hot axle cutting and bearing burnout. Apart from this, greases are also used in other railway components such as track components, brakes and interior components. Greases used in the railway track components are designed to minimize friction, reduce temperature, and prevent wear between wheel flange and rails. Greases are also used in screws and bolts used in the installation of railway track elements to protect them from rusting. Thus, the rail greases are mostly required for the maintenance activities and for smooth running and high performance of different parts such as railway vehicle components and railway track components. This fact has driven the market for rail greases during the forecast.
The COVID-19 is anticipated to cause a loss of more than 3 Billion in the APAC region. The consequence and impact can be even worse and totally depends on the spread of the virus. The government of APAC is taking possible steps to reduce its effects by announcing lockdown, and thus, impact the revenue generated by the market. The Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific warned that the prolonged duration of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak would drastically impact the region’s airports’ connectivity and economic sustainability, significantly restricting them from achieving previously forecasted growth prospects. Such closures are anticipated to negatively impact market growth in the coming period. Till now, China has the highest number of COVID -19 confirmed cases.
