Need for Fuel Efficiency to Expand Market

Optimizing the efficiency of fuel engines serves several benefits such as reduced costs, better running of vehicles and other machines, and increased life of the engine. Hence, the demand for fuel additives that can enhance the quality of the fuel is expected to escalate to unprecedented levels in the coming years. Fuel efficiency is one of the most major concerns of the automotive industry which is gradually becoming the largest propeller of market demand. The deposits along fuel lines often choke the injector nozzle and reduce the efficiency of the engine. To curb this, the government has imposed strict regulations on the automotive industry to prevent the formation of deposits along fuel lines. Hence, the market for fuel additives is expected to reap tremendous demand over the coming years.

Use of Ultra-Low Sulfate Diesel Escalates Demand

Ultra-low sulfur diesel has become very popular across the automotive industry, thus, increasing its usage by the consumers. ULTD is an extremely clean diesel fuel that is estimated to have 97% lower sulfur than the previous low-sulfur diesel (LSD) type. Since ULTD requires fuel additives in abundance to function properly, the market is expected to expand at a robust rate over the coming years. However, low demand for high-end gasoline and lack of awareness amongst customers is expected to hamper market growth. Furthermore, the heavy cost of research and development for fuel additives also poses a threat to market growth.
