Automotive Additive Market was valued at US $ XX Mn and expected to grow at XX% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2019 to 2025.
Market Outline: Automotive Additives Market
Automotive additive market products in two basic categories mainly additives for use in the vehicle’s fuel system, including both Diesel and gasoline engines, and cleaners and supplements for use with the various lubricants in the vehicle, including engine oil, transmission fluid, gear oil and power steering fluid. As it is critical to maintain fuel system cleanliness to maximize fuel economy and performance and minimize emissions, LSC manufacturers fuel products containing state-of-the-art deposit control additives including polyether amines (PEA) and polyisobutylenes (PIB) that effectively remove deposits from fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers, returning fuel system to near new cleanliness and performance. For diesel engines, in addition to deposit control additives to maintain engine cleanliness, our diesel fuel products also contain components to address the deficiencies of current Diesel fuels, improving key performance parameters including Cetane number, lubricity and low temperature performance.
Market Dynamics: Automotive Additives Market
Growing demand of fuel which enhances its efficacy coupled with the preference of high quality cars instead of low quality cars has up surged the growth of automotive additive market. With the increasing pollution and environmental thereat imposed due to the use of conventional fuel there is a rise in demand for the use of automotive additives. This is considered to be one of the factor which has positively impacted the growth of automotive additives in the market. The growing trend of electric vehicles is also a major factor that has contributed to the growth of this market. However, volatility in prices of additives, the high price of the oil and fuel automotive additives and the engine downsizing trend going on in the automobile industries, are the factors that are expected to affect the growth of automotive additives market.
