Lubricating Oils and Greases, defined as machine fluids that enable smooth functioning, are omnipresent products that find widespread use in automotive and industrial sectors. Given that modern life crucially depends on fuel-driven machines and technology systems, market for lubricating oils and greases is forecast to witness steady growth. A key variable for product success in the marketplace is the cost to performance ratio. Innovation also plays an important role as companies need to keep pace with technology developments in the equipment/machinery industry. With modern industrial equipment increasingly being engineered to run at faster speeds and operate at higher temperatures, manufacturers are focusing on developing specialized high performance lubricants suitable for use in these machines.

The automotive service industry is one of the major end-users of Lubricating Oils and Greases. Increase in vehicle population and average operating life of passenger cars and commercial vehicles; rise in the number of vehicle miles travelled; greater focus on maintenance; are factors driving demand in this sector. Rising fuel prices, emphasis on fuel efficiency and stringent vehicle emission norms are ensuring timely maintenance and engine oil changes. Timely oil changes in automobiles helps bring excellent fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions by reducing friction between moving parts in an engine. Lubricating oils in diesel engines are used to prevent wear and tear, sludge formation, filter plugging, and deposits. To tap into the opportunities offered, players are building strategies around brand awareness, brand value, brand loyalty and aggressive promotion.

In the industrial sector, industrial machinery essentially demands attention and regular maintenance. Growing popularity of machine condition monitoring and asset management programs in industrial/manufacturing plants is expected to benefit the market for lubricating oils and greases. Routine maintenance programs lead to increased frequency of fluid change. Production interruptions due to machine failures can have a catastrophic impact on corporate bottom lines, especially in a business environment characterized by tough competition and time-to-market challenges. Industrial lubricants ensure problem-free functioning of gears, bearings, and compressors, thus driving optimum machine performance. These oils and greases also help in protecting machine parts and components against corrosion and wear and tear, ensuring extended machine life. The market also stands to benefit from the spiraling increase in the installed base of industrial equipment in industries spanning aerospace, construction, farming & agriculture, mining and oil & gas industries, among others. Increased infrastructure spending by developing countries is benefiting the market for industrial fluids.

Growing environmental concerns pertaining to toxicity, biodegradability, bioaccumulation, and recyclelability are helping drive demand for biodegradable and synthetic lubricating oils and greases. Biodegradable lubricants are based on vegetable oils, which constitute about 90% of the biolubricant product. Subsidies, tax breaks, and national as well as international labeling programs are driving demand for biodegradable lubricants. The marine end-use sector is forecast to witness strong demand given the higher risks of water contamination due to lubricant leakage.

As stated by the new market research report on Lubricating Oils and Greases, Asia-Pacific represents the largest and the fastest growing market with sales projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% over the analysis period. Automotive lubricants represents the largest product market worldwide with engine oils ranking as the largest contributor to revenues in this space.

Major players in the market include Ashland Inc., Chevron Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Esso S.A.F., Fuchs Petrolub AG, Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd., Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., LUKOIL Oil Company, JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation, Shell, Sinopec Corporation, and Total S.A., among others.

Mowglis first product: http:// Songster Beta has finally launched. The music-based game will allow players to create something real: something players can produce themselves and show off outside the game thats right, damn good music.

In addition to the creation aspects of Songster, players will follow a compelling storyline of a fledging musician working their way up through the ranks of the music industry. From playing gigs at frat houses and proms to launching a worldwide arena tour, players can make great music, while allowing their creativity to take them through the levels of the game.

Afterwards,Songster enables users to post the songs theyve created onto friends walls, encouraging gamers to spread the word just as they'd a new hit song.

Plus, you can still jump into the action even if youre not the next Led Zeppelin. Songsters innovation of the Song Pack enables anyone, regardless of musical knowledge, to create a compelling track. Marshall Seese, Jr., Founder and CEO of Mowgli, said: I looked around the gaming industry and saw what folks like Zynga were doing with FarmVille, and it seemed for as much money as they were making people were not getting something of much value in return.

With that in mind, its important to remember that any value a player receives from an existing game is locked within the game itself. Lets face it: a FarmVille farm will never become a real farm, but on Songster players can create the next music hit.

Starting now Mowgli is inviting you to share an exclusive Backstage Pass to play Songster Beta. To check out Songster Beta before it becomes available simply go to http://www.playsongster.com and enter Backstage Pass Code P5CXZK
