In the recent past, there has been a shift in demand from traditional fiberboard cartridges to plastic cartridges as most of the lubricant manufacturers across the globe are opting for plastic cartridges. Such transformations are due to high paperboard prices, which are generally used for manufacturing fiberboard cartridges and durability concerns related to the product. Furthermore, plastic grease cartridges have been witnessing growing preference in past few years due to their rigid structure, which reduces the risk of leakage, as in the case of fiberboard cartridges. Plastic cartridges are climate resistant and can also reduce the leakage of grease from fiberboard cartridges during logistics and shipping. The demand for plastic grease cartridges is expected to increase over the forecast period.
Key Drivers & Restraints Influencing Global Grease Cartridges Market
The increasing applications of grease cartridges in after-sales services, especially in automobile and mining industries, have created lucrative opportunities for manufacturers worldwide. The automotive sector accounts for more than 50% of the total lubricants market across the globe. Increasing automobile production lifts the need for lubricants on a large scale. Apart from consumer preference, another important factor which is expected to play a crucial role in driving the growth of the greases market is the widespread range of industrial applications. Grease cartridges reduce efforts employed in manually applying lubrication grease on anti-friction bearings, vehicle chassis, and automotive intersections. In addition, grease cartridges made up of plastic are getting traction as it gives better leakage protection as compared to fiberboard grease cartridges.
