Automotive Catalyst Market Size And Forecast
The automotive catalyst market was valued at USD 11.78 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 15.73 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasingly stringent global emission standards. In addition, greater stress on improving vehicle efficiency and reducing toxic emissions is a major factor driving the automotive catalyst market.
The base year considered for the study is 2017 and the forecast period is from 2018 to 2023.
Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growth driven by tighter legislation on automotive emission
Restraints
- Growth of electric vehicles
Opportunities
- Increased focus on emission standards in developing nations
Growth driven by tighter legislation on automotive emission
To reduce air pollution and safeguard public health, governments all over the world have pledge to make motor vehicle fuel and emission standards more stringent.
Light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles are the two main consumers of automotive catalyst. Typically, light duty vehicles are regulated by comparatively less stringent emission standards. Each region has their own set of standards. In the US, the emission standards are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In Europe, the emission standards are termed as Euro standards. China and India set their own standards which typically mirror Euro emission standards.
The newer light- and heavy-duty vehicles require fuel with minimal sulphur content for optimal performance. The sulfur content of gasoline and diesel fuels in Europe are strictly controlled to satisfy the stringent fuel-quality standards. These standards are driving the demand for automotive catalysts.

The automotive catalyst market is estimated to be USD 12.35 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 15.73 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2018 to 2023. Growth of this market can be attributed to the rising use of automotive catalysts in emerging economies. In addition, increasing disposable income in emerging economies is also anticipated to fuel the growth of the automotive catalyst market.
Automotive catalysts are used in vehicles, such as light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles. The light-duty vehicle segment is the largest type application segment of the automotive catalyst market. There has been considerable rise in the fuel economy standards implemented for light-duty vehicles during the past 10 years. This factor has led to greater use of automotive catalysts in this segment.
Based on type, the palladium segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the automotive catalyst market in 2018. Other factors driving the light-duty vehicles segment include the increasing demand for automotive vehicles in emerging economies. The use of palladium as an automotive catalyst has grown in importance in recent years driven by factors, such as increase in automotive sales and growing regulations for emissions.
APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and the Middle East & Africa are the key regions considered for market analysis in the report. APAC is estimated to be the largest market for automotive catalysts in 2018 in terms of volume. It is also expected to continue to be the largest market by 2023, as growing awareness about automotive catalysts is expected to drive the automotive catalyst market during the forecast period. The automotive catalyst market in the APAC region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2023, in terms of value and volume. The increasing demand for vehicles in the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to drive the automotive catalyst market. Greater stress on low vehicle emissions as well as a rise in disposable incomes of consumers are expected to drive the automotive catalyst market during the forecast period.
Increasing use of electric vehicles is a key challenge for the growth of the automotive catalyst market. Rising number of electric vehicles which do not require the use of automotive catalysts are expected to dampen the demand for automotive catalysts during the forecast period.
The automotive catalyst market is segmented on the basis of vehicle type as heavy-duty vehicle and light-duty vehicle. The demand for automotive catalysts is increasing as emission standards set by governments across the globe are becoming more stringent.
Light-Duty Vehicle
Light duty vehicles have typically contributed the most to emissions from mobile sources. This is partly due to the large number of light-duty vehicles present.
Considerable developments have taken place in fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles in the past 10 years. Most of the fuel economy standards permit certain leeway to the manufacturers to meet their targets. Some of the methods to create flexibilities include setting corporate average fuel economy targets, providing off-credits to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions.
Heavy-Duty Vehicle
Heavy duty vehicles are governed by stricter emission standards compared to light duty vehicles. These vehicles also require ultra-low sulfur fuel. Most of the heavy vehicles consume diesel to power their engines, resulting in emission of high level of particulates and nitrogen oxides. While regulations on heavy-duty vehicle exhaust emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) in the developed countries are already strictly enforced, developing economies are catching up fast to their emission standards.
