The expanding manufacturing activity is expected to drive the growth of the high-temperature grease and lubricant market in the coming years. Manufacturing activity refers to the process of converting raw materials into finished goods using machinery, tools, and a workforce. Manufacturing activity is increasing due to several factors, including rising demand for consumer goods, improved supply chain integration, supportive government policies and incentives, and a growing focus on sustainability. High-temperature grease and lubricants help reduce friction and wear under harsh operating conditions, enhancing mechanical efficiency and durability. They also prevent overheating, reduce downtime, and contribute to a safer and more reliable manufacturing environment. For instance, in September 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based statistical authority, the total value of UK manufacturers’ product sales reached US$566.7 billion (£456.1 billion) in 2023, representing an increase of US$21.4 billion (£17.2 billion), or 3.9%, from US$546.4 billion (£438.9 billion) in 2022. Therefore, the growing manufacturing activity is driving the growth of the high-temperature grease and lubricant market.

Leading companies in this market are concentrating on creating advanced products such as multi-purpose lithium grease to ensure reliability under extreme conditions and address the need for high-efficiency lubrication in various industrial settings. Multi-purpose lithium grease is known for its versatility and includes lithium soap and several base oils, offering excellent thermal stability, water resistance, and mechanical stability suitable for automotive use. For instance, in July 2024, Rexco Lubricants, based in Indonesia, introduced Rexco 82 and Rexco 60. Rexco 82 is formulated to clean braking systems, nuts, bolts, and machine parts without risk of combustion, thereby extending component life. Rexco 60 is a high-temperature multi-purpose lithium grease designed for lubricating vehicle parts such as joints, shafts, and bearings while withstanding extreme operating conditions and temperatures. It adheres well to metal surfaces, providing long-lasting lubrication that reduces friction and wear, protects against water and dirt, and minimizes heat generation during operation, ensuring smooth performance and component longevity.

In January 2023, Metalloid Corporation, a US-based producer of metalworking fluids, acquired AccroLube from Accro-Seal Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Metalloid to broaden its metalworking fluid offerings by incorporating high-temperature lubricants with superior film strength. The addition of AccroLube aligns with rising industrial needs, providing comprehensive solutions for enhanced productivity, reduced waste, and lower manufacturing costs. Accro-Seal Inc., based in the US, specializes in high-temperature grease products, including AccroLube, a high-temperature polyurea grease.
