The rising demand for ULSD is notably driving the fuel additives market growth, although factors such as may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the fuel additives industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Fuel Additives Market Driver
The rising demand for ULSD is a major factor driving the global fuel additives market share growth during the forecast period. The use of ULSD decreases harmful emissions from diesel combustion. Also, in conjunction with emission control devices in both on-road and off-road vehicles, the adoption of ULSD can reduce the emission of exhaust gases of particulate matter and ozone precursors to near-zero levels. The improved cetane numbers of ULSD fuel types can reduce fuel consumption, noise and vast smoke exhaust, and emissions. The use of ULSD helps improve combustion efficiency and the quick start of the engine in cold weather conditions. The adoption of cetane, cold flow, and octane improvers are expected to increase due to the rise in the use of ULSD fuel types. Fuel additives to inhibit corrosion and increase lubricity are also added to ULSD to prevent unacceptable engine wear and increase the performance of vehicles. ULSD fuel type is available as diesel fuel in countries such as the US, France, Canada, Germany, the UK, and others. In the US, the EPA has mandated the use of this fuel type since 2010. Therefore, stringent regulations and policies regarding fuel consumption are expected to foster the demand for fuel additives.
Key Fuel Additives Market Trend
The growing demand for multifunctional additives is another factor supporting the global fuel additives market share growth. The growing demand for multifunctional additives in gasoline, diesel, and other fuels is expected to foster the market growth of fuel additives in the near future. These additives provide an efficient and cost-effective way of delivering multiple benefits in a single additive package. Multifunctional diesel additives are more complex and may combine deposit control additive with corrosion inhibitor, cetane number improver, and antifoam additive, among others. The growing interest from consumers, which include end-users of fuels in environment-friendly and sustainable products, has created a substantial demand for multifunctional additives. In recent years, the use of biodiesel is increasing because it is renewable and clean, reduces the level of pollution, and provides cost benefits. On the other hand, the adoption of biodiesel is hampered by the cost of production. Thus, manufacturers are trying to adopt strategies such as the use of efficient catalysts, cheap raw materials, and advanced technologies. Multifunctional additives will play a major role in the production of biofuels in terms of cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and carbon emission reduction. This will drive the growth of the market in a positive direction.
Key Fuel Additives Market Challenge
The rising need for renewable clean fuel is another factor supporting the global fuel additives market share growth during the forecast period. The increasing focus on alternative fuels can be attributed to global energy insecurity, volatile fuel cost, and rising emission levels. The steady depletion of fossil fuel reserves has increased the use of renewable energy resources such as wind, geothermal, and solar for power generation. R&D activities across the world aim at promoting the use of renewable sources of energy and focus on the large-scale production of energy from such sources. The growth of renewable power generation across the world will be mostly favored by the rapid decline in the cost of installing power plants as well as government policies that favor reverse bidding mechanisms. The declining cost of solar technologies, as well as the anticipation of a carbon-constrained future, will drive the use of renewable resources. Also, many energy industry participants are focusing on M&A activities to increase their offerings in the market. Therefore, these energy resources are becoming popular among end-users and will restrict the growth of the global fuel additives market during the forecast period.
