Description
Asia-Pacific Diesel Exhaust Fluid Market Research Report Forecast to 2030
Product Overview
The increasing demand for diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) in end-use industries, including automotive, agriculture, and construction, is the major factor projected to boost the market growth.
The growth of the market is also driven by the increasing regulations regarding greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions and an increase in the demand for the product in the automotive industry. However, the fluctuating prices of raw materials, such as urea, will majorly hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a liquid used to reduce air pollution caused due to diesel engines. It is also known by the names AUS 32 and ARLA 32 and is marketed as AdBlue. The DEF or AdBlue is an aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water.
To meet stringent NOx emission standards beginning in 2010 for commercial truck engines and beginning in 2014 for most off-road engines, most engine makers have installed an embedded selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology in diesel vehicles, which requires DEF to operate. AdBlue is filled in a separate tank in vehicles with SCR technology.
DEF is injected in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, where it is heated in the exhaust stream and decomposes into ammonia and CO₂. When the NOx from the engine exhaust stream reacts inside the catalyst with the ammonia, the harmful NOx molecules in the exhaust stream are converted to harmless nitrogen and water, which are then released from the vehicle’s tailpipe. Typically, a diesel engine requires about 3% DEF of the fuel.
Market Overview
The Asia-Pacific diesel exhaust fluid market is projected to register healthy growth during the forecast period, 2021–2030. The market was valued at USD 1,886.81 million in 2020 and is projected to register a CAGR of 9.91% to reach USD 5,411.94 million by 2030. The purity of the AdBlue is of paramount importance, as any impurity in DEF can disturb the whole SCR system and, eventually, the performance of the vehicle.
The packaging of AdBlue, therefore, is rigorously tested by the American Petroleum Institute to ensure that it meets industry-wide quality standards. It is available in a variety of storage options such as bulk, totes, bottles, or jugs.
The prominent factors driving the growth of the market are the increased adoption of carbon emission norms by automotive manufacturers coupled with the growing sale of passenger cars and commercial vehicles across the globe.
However, the gradual adoption of electric vehicles and the mass production of e-vehicles is expected to hamper the growth of diesel-powered vehicles in the coming years, thereby hampering the growth of the diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) market during the assessment period.
Nevertheless, the development of hybrid selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) and the adoption of SCR technology in passenger vehicles are likely to boost the demand for diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) and create lucrative opportunities for the players operating in the Asia-Pacific market.
The increasing demand for diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) in end-use industries, including automotive, agriculture, and construction, is the major factor projected to boost the market growth. The growth of the market is also driven by the increasing regulations regarding greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions and an increase in the demand for the product in the automotive industry. However, the fluctuating prices of raw materials, such as urea, will majorly hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
