Antifreeze Market to Witness Exponential Growth by 2021
The Antifreeze Market
for the automotive industry was valued at USD 688 million in 2016, and is
projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.18% during the forecast period. Increasing
vehicle production, especially SUV & light truck segment and recent growing
trend in trucks & buses segment in countries such as India are the key
reasons driving the demand for OE market for antifreeze. Growing vehicles in
operation and increased miles travelled per year is estimated to drive the
demand for antifreeze in aftermarket segment.
“Passenger cars are expected to
witness the highest demand for antifreeze”
According to
OICA, the production of passenger cars around the globe has grown from 68.6
million units in 2015 to 72.1 million units in 2015 at a rate of 5.1%. The increased sales of passenger cars is due
to the improved standard of living and per capita income in various countries.
According to Trading Economics statistics, the U.S. GDP per capita increased from
USD 50,727.8 in 2014 to USD 51,638.1 in 2015, which led to increased purchasing
capabilities of consumers. Thus, the sales and production of passenger cars is
increasing and leading to increased demand for engine coolant and antifreeze.

“Glycerine is expected to be the
fastest growing market for antifreeze, by product, in the automotive industry”
Antifreeze
base fluids are toxic in nature. This has compelled the manufacturers to switch
to less toxic alternatives. Also, glycols used for antifreeze are manufactured
from crude oil filtration, which may lead to a higher demand for fossil fuels
such as crude oil and can have a negative impact on the environment. Hence,
bio-based options such as glycerin are getting recognized in the market for
their environment-friendly nature. These bio-based antifreezes are manufactured
from materials such as corn, stover, and other oil bearing resources. Manufacturers are venturing into this market
with products such as the Susterra brand of DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products
(U.S.), which is produced using a bio-based glycol named 1, 3-Propanediol
(PDO). This glycol is completely manufactured using renewable and bio-based
materials and is suitable for passenger cars and other light and heavy-duty
vehicles.

“North America: Largest and fastest
growing antifreeze market for the automotive industry in Original Equipment
(OE) segment”
The North
American region leads the antifreeze market for the automotive industry, owing
to the higher production and demand for large engine capacity vehicles in this
region such as extended cabs. The automotive market in this region is inclined
towards SUVs and light trucks, owing to their off-road capabilities and better
traction in changing weather conditions. According to OICA, the light
commercial vehicle production in North America increased from 10.4 million
units in 2015 to 11.0 million units by 2016 at a rate of 5.7%, which is above
the global growth rate of 2.7%. Also, LCVs in North America have a higher
antifreeze requirement, as compared to other regions. These factors have
contributed to the higher market size of automotive antifreeze in this region.
Additionally, the automotive industry of North America is one of the most
advanced across the globe with substantial investments in R&D activities,
infrastructure, and new production facilities driving the overall automotive
antifreeze market.
