Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing demand for UPR and 1,4-BDO from the automotive industry is notably driving the market growth in North America, although factors such as rise in demand for hybrid vehicles and increasing battery price parity may impede the market growth.Â
Key Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the market is the increasing demand for UPR and 1,4-BDO from the automotive industry. The rising sales of passenger cars and commercial vehicles drive the market. Maleic anhydride is used as a key ingredient in UPR, which is further used in the manufacturing of several automotive composites such as closure panels, body panels, fenders, Grille Opening Reinforcement (GOR), heat shields, headlamp reflectors, and pick-up boxes. The increasing sales of passenger and commercial vehicles globally are driving the regional market. Furthermore, the automobile sales rate has increased over the past five years in developed and developing countries, owing to the increasing disposable income of people and industrial growth. The consistent rise in the number of vehicles is increasing the demand for engine oil, functional fluids, and automotive components in emerging economies. Thus, it will further positively impact the market growth and trends.
Significant Trends
The commercialization of bio-based maleic anhydride is a major market trend that is expected to impact the industry positively in the coming years. Traditionally, it is produced through the oxidation of aromatic compounds. The key companies in the market are significantly innovating alternative feedstock to develop bio-based products. This is due to the growing awareness regarding the toxicity of benzene and other aromatic compounds used in the manufacturing. The use of bio-based feedstock has its own advantages over conventional ones. As the oil resources are limited, the extraction of benzene and its further oxidation is highly expensive. In addition, the manufacturers have to rely on advance technologies and sophisticated equipment, which significantly increases the manufacturing cost. So, to cater to such challenges, the commercialization of bio-based on a large scale is essential.
Major Challenge
The rise in demand for hybrid vehicles and increasing battery price parity will be a major challenge for the market during the forecast period. Hybrid vehicles contain both a small internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor for optimum power utilization and reducing emissions from vehicles. Furthermore, the growing number of hybrid vehicles is expected to reduce the demand for engine oil, functional fluid, and transmission fluid per vehicle by half the quantity required in an ICEs. Such factors, coupled with the increasing battery ranges and declining cost of lithium-ion batteries, are expected to negatively hamper the market. Furthermore, the cost of batteries of electric vehicles is decreasing gradually, and the driving range per charge is increasing. The demand for electric vehicles is expected to increase, which, in turn, will reduce the overall engine oil consumption and lead to a decrease in the demand for maleic anhydride in lubricating oil additives.
