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 feature 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 required frequently and where a lubricating oil does not stay for long. Grease acts as a sealant to avert ingress of water and incompressible materials. Germany, France, UK, Russia, Italy and Rest of Europe are major economies in Europe. The western part of Europe is known for its better standards of living, with people displaying a higher income level. It is one of the wealthiest regions on the European continent, with per capita Gross Domestic Product Type (GDP) more than the other parts. Europe is a well-established and mature market for rail greases.

Increasing adoption of digital channels to increase customer reach is the key driver for the growth of the Europe rail greases market. The increasing adoption of digital channels across Europe has brought about an increased emphasis on online distributions channels. Internet usage and smartphone ownership rates are growing across Europe, and consumers are becoming more inclined to do everything from researching making their final purchase decision online. Several benefits, such as convenience, fast delivery, and secure payment options, have attracted B2B buyers to purchase online. Thus, the companies operating in the rail grease market have optimized their distribution strategy over the past few years to keep pace with the competition and continue to grow their businesses. The companies are adopting online distribution channels to target and reach a large number of customers in the market and their traditional offline distribution channels. Besides, online distribution channels help companies reach the target consumers quickly without adding additional costs and expenses. Thus, lubricants and grease manufacturers are leveraging the e-commerce industry to earn revenue by opening online stores and making sales through these channels.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the rail greases market. The Europe rail greases market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.

COVID-19 has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The chemical and material industry are one of the major industries suffering serious disruptions such as supply chain breaks, disruptions in manufacturing due to lockdown and office shutdowns as a result of this outbreak. All these factors have greatly affected the rail grease market. In Europe, Italy is the hardest-hit country by the coronavirus outbreak. It is expected to suffer an economic hit due to a lack of revenue from various industries, as Italy recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases. Other member states have implemented drastic measures and travel restrictions, including partially closing their borders. This is anticipated to impact market growth in Europe.
