Automotive Catalytic Converter Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The stringent regulations to control emissions is notably driving the automotive catalytic converter market growth, although factors such as downside and drawbacks of using automotive catalytic converters may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive catalytic converter industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Automotive Catalytic Converter Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the automotive catalytic converter market growth is the stringent regulations to control emissions. Government norms and regulations governing the automotive industry have led to the development of advanced automotive systems. The regulatory bodies monitor fuel efficiency, safety, and exhaust emissions. Stringent mandates and norms are crucial to the development of advanced, safe, and energy-efficient automobiles. The global automotive catalytic converter market is regulated by many government regulations. The major automotive economies across the globe implement stringent vehicular emission policies that specify the maximum permissible limits of emissions. Governments and automotive governing councils in the developed automotive economies such as the US, Canada in North America, and the EU implement stringent emission norms. Furthermore, in India, the implementation of BS-VI vehicles was planned in April 2020. Owing to the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, it is delayed. The implementation of such stringent rules and regulations to control emissions from vehicles is expected to create a demand for advanced automotive catalytic converters in the market.

Key Automotive Catalytic Converter Market Trend

Another key factor driving automotive catalytic converter market growth is emergence of advanced emission control solutions for aftermarket. The increasing focus on environmental pollution caused by automobiles drives developments in vehicle exhaust systems. Stringent emission standards have led to the development of advanced emission control systems and energy-efficient vehicles that cause less pollution. Developments in the field of vehicular emission control systems are not limited to automotive OEMs as OE parts. Vendors are actively focusing on advanced emission control solutions for the automotive aftermarket as well. For instance, Tenneco introduced its Euro 6-compliant catalytic converter, Walker, for gasoline engines in the EU aftermarket. The product is reportedly the EU's first Euro 6 petrol catalytic converter. The catalytic converter is designed to work in conjunction with Volkswagen AG's 1.4-liter TSI engine that is found in numerous Volkswagen models. This new catalytic converter is anticipated to ensure Euro 6 emission compliance for over 400,000 cars in the EU. Similarly, other vendors are concentrating on aftermarket emissions control solutions for vehicles that are currently in use. With the revision of emission standards in short intervals, such developments prove beneficial for vehicles currently in use.

Key Automotive Catalytic Converter Market Challenge

Downside and drawbacks of using automotive catalytic converters and high cost associated with replacement are one of the key challenges hindering the automotive catalytic converter market growth. The functional benefits of automotive catalytic converters have increased their adoption in automobiles. However, the drawbacks of catalytic converters can pose a serious challenge to the growth of the market. The increasing sales of automobiles have increased pollution at a global level. Advanced automotive catalytic converters with improved materials are used in modern vehicles. Catalytic converters use energy sourced from the engine, which reduces power output. Catalysts are designed to slow down the circulation of emissions, which increase fuel consumption and reduce fuel economy. Catalytic converters may fail because of wear and tear, spark plug, or exhaust valve. Catalytic converters cause engine overheating because of the additional energy required to burn emissions. Moreover, the overall cost of development and manufacturing automotive catalytic converters is increasing as well. The increasing application of three-way catalytic converters and the use of advanced SCR adds to the overall cost of modern catalytic converters. In addition, the cost of replacing a catalytic converter is high because of the expensive catalytic converter, parts, and labor.
