Lingerie, a category that historically promoted unrealistic beauty standards, has slowly transformed into a space where all bodies are celebrated. And considering how far lingerie has come, it?s no surprise that the category is heating up. As consumers continue to push brands to become size and body inclusive and promote more positive messaging, those that aren?t able to keep up are inadvertently making way for new, modern brands. ?There is a misconception that you purchase lingerie for the benefit of someone who is lucky enough to see you in it, but it can be very empowering to wear lingerie for yourself. Wearing lingerie makes you feel more confident, boosts your mood and, hopefully, makes what you?re wearing on top look even better,? Jennifer Zuccarini founder and CEO of luxury lingerie brand Fleur du Mal told Glossy. According to research and marketing firm Bonafide Research, 2022 was a big year for the category.

Bonafide Research valued the global lingerie market at $79 billion and expects it to reach $114 billion by 2028. As Zuccarini explained, lingerie is no longer thought of as something you wear for someone else, which has opened up the category to exciting, new trends.

The EVs are operated by the batteries and motor as the prime movers, and hence require a different set of fluids than the ICE vehicles. The conventional fluids are inapplicable for the EVs as they can lead to viscosity-related issues and corrosion of parts while compromising the overall performance and life of the vehicle. The EV fluids have been engineered and modified specifically to meet the requirements of the high-tech powertrains. These fluids are responsible for cooling the powertrain and transmission system while stabilizing the temperature of the battery and power electronics. Moreover, the EV fluid carries out the function of heat transfer, and the E-grease lubricates the EV components while countering the noise, vibration, and harness (NVH) levels in the vehicle. The other functions of the fluids include a reduction in the losses of energy in the drivetrain while enhancing the transmission system in an EV. In addition, the EV fluids are responsible for providing protection in case of any flaring caused by the close contact of the EV components. Furthermore, they also help in cooling the e-motors and gears, which can extend the overall life of the vehicle components and improve the vehicle?s efficiency. According to the report by Bonafide Research, the electric vehicle fluid market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 25% in terms of value. For now, the market is divided into four main components: grease, brake fluid, heat transfer fluid, and drive system fluid. As the adoption of the EVs increases, the customers must also get smarter in understanding their vehicles. Now, let us focus on why EV fluids are significant for EV consumers.
