• In addition, battery-operated grease guns are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of use, movability, and efficiency. They promote the best attributes of both manual and pneumatic models and thus can be employed in a wide range of tasks.
   
• Pneumatic grease guns have high power and efficiency and are typically used in large machinery applications. Their ergonomic feature alleviates operator sore hands and fatigue while on extensive greasing tasks.

The automotive segment held 39% share of the grease gun market in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% between 2025 and 2034.
 

• The trend for such grease guns, particularly the battery-powered ones, is high in the automotive sector due to constant lubrication movement in the maintenance and repair centers. The growth of such repair and service facilities supplements the horn.
   
• Similarly, grease guns in industrial manufacturing are indispensable for operating machines, including conveyors and robotic systems. The trend towards automation has increased the use of pneumatic and battery-operated grease guns, which are now equipped with automatic lubrication systems.
   
• In the agricultural sector, grease gun systems play an important role in servicing tractors, irrigation, harvesters, and other farm warehouse equipment. As tools become bigger and more unique, the need for high-pressure grease guns for them increases.

The U.S. grease gun market size surpassed USD 400 million in 2024 and projected to attain growth rate of 6.6% between 2025 to 2034.
 

• The U.S. market is witnessing vigorous growth due to industrial developments, growth in the automotive repair business, increased systems maintenance demands, and new technologies in the design of grease guns. This expansion is also driven by further increasing requirements for high-performance and niche grease guns.
   
• The increasing demand for grease guns is being fueled by a rise in manufacturing sectors such as automotives, machinery, aerospace, and heavy equipment. Furthermore, regular maintenance for industrial machinery is required, which makes grease guns quintessential for minimizing downtime and maintaining efficiency.
   
• Owing to the increasing vehicle population in the automotive industry, there is an urgent need for routine maintenance for which grease guns have become a necessity in service centers, repair shops, and dealerships.
   

North America: It is evident that the U.S. accounts for the largest share of 79% of the North American grease gun market. The U.S. market is benefiting due to many factors like increasing industrialization, modernization of automobile repair and maintenance facilities, growing demand for performance-free working, and innovation of grease guns. Moreover, this trend appears to be boosted in the United States due to increasing demand for high-end, specialized grease gun design.
 

In contrast, Canada's grease gun market is expected to show a steady increase in its average annual growth rate of 5.2% between the years 2025 and 2034. Canada’s growth in grease gun consumption is spurred by machinery manufacturers and healthy growth in mining, oil & gas, and transportation industries. Any interruptions in the production processes should be avoided through regular repair work.
 

Europe: It is expected that the Europe grease gun penetration rate is going to be around 26% by 2024 and later grow at a CAGR of 5.9 percent from 2025 to 2034, starting from a penetration percentage of just 2% in 2022.
