The renewable energy industry, a subsegment of the power sector, is emerging as a prominent consumer of industrial greases. Grease is primarily used in turbines and transformers in this industry. In recent years, the increasing demand for renewable energy has led to an upsurge in wind turbine installations worldwide. The IEA states that 830 GW of wind capacity was installed globally as of 2021, of which 93% were onshore systems while 7% were offshore wind farms. Countries across the world are taking initiatives to increase their renewable energy capacities through wind turbine installations.
With several new wind installations, the demand for lubricants such as greases has increased worldwide. Wind turbine lubricants contribute to the reliability of wind farms by ensuring streamlined operations and maintenance. Lubrication is essential at various points in a wind turbine; these include the gearbox, open gear, pitch gear, and pitch bearing. Wind power industry use grease additives such as pressure additives, corrosion inhibitors, and oxidation inhibitors to ensure the enhanced performance. Thus, the rising demand for greases in the wind power industry is likely to favor the growth of the Middle East & Africa grease additives market in the coming years.
Governments of various countries in the Middle East & Africa are focused on developing aviation infrastructure. They are planning to create new routes for new airspace entrants, including unmanned vehicles such as drones and other electric aircraft. On August 14, 2022, the government of Saudi Arabia invested US$ 100 billion in the aviation sector to be able to host at least 300 million passengers and 5 million tons of freight by 2030. Rapid industrialization and growth in disposable income, resulting in an upsurge in the number of passengers opting for air travel, further support the progress of the aviation industry in the Middle East & Africa. According to a report by the International Trade Administration, the UAE government has been investing in various initiatives to support the aerospace industry, thus encouraging partnerships among significant market players and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Aviation greases containing additives lubricate critical components and protect them from extreme conditions.
