by The automotive aftermarket fuel additives are added to gasoline or diesel fuel to improve vehicle performance, combustion, efficiency, and other fuel-related operating parameters. These additives help maintain engine health and improve fuel economy while reducing harmful emissions. Common fuel additives include cetane improvers, deposit control additives, lubricity improvers, dyes & markers, cold flow improvers, stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors, and combustion modifiers. With stringent emission regulations and rising consumer demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, automakers focus on manufacturing vehicles with higher fuel economy and lower emissions. This increases the sales of fuel additives to maintain engine performance for such vehicles.
The global Automotive Aftermarket Fuel Additives Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2.27 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.0% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the automotive aftermarket fuel additives market is the use of multi-functional additives. Earlier, separate additives were used to achieve different parameters like combustion improvement, deposit control, etc. However, modern additive packages contain multiple functionalities in a single formulation to reduce costs while improving overall performance. These multi-functional fuel additives cater to the needs of improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and better engine protection. They eliminate the need for separate specialty additives, thus driving their adoption. Furthermore, stricter emission norms in major automobile markets like North America and Europe have bolstered the demand for newer generation, low-emission additive technologies in the aftermarket.
