Catalytic Converter Market

Catalytic Converter Market by Type (FWCC, TWCC, SCR, DOC, and LNT), Material (Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium), Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, LCV, Bus & Truck, Construction, and Agriculture & Mining), Aftermarket and Region - Global Forecast to 2025

Report Code: AT 3133 Mar, 2019, by marketsandmarkets.com

The global catalytic converter market was estimated to be worth USD 42.4 billion in 2018 and is poised to reach USD 73.1 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 8.10% from 2018 to 2025. The Asia Oceania region is projected to lead the catalytic converter market during the forecast period owing to the highest vehicle production compared to other regions such as North America and Europe. The increasing demand for passenger cars along with the rising stringency in emission norms would further fuel the demand for catalytic converters, especially in the European and North American countries.

Attractive Opportunities in Catalytic Converter Market

The SCR segment is expected to be the largest contributor in the catalytic converter market during the forecast period

The SCR technology offers benefits including enhanced NOx reduction than LNT by nearly 90%, and hence, it is mostly preferred in diesel vehicles across the globe. SCR has a maximum installation rate in European and North American countries owing to the ongoing emission norms such as Euro 6 and Tier 3 respectively. Europe has a large adoption rate of diesel passenger cars and LCVs. Thus, it has a higher installation rate of SCRs compared to other regions such as Asia Oceania and North America for these vehicle types. Further, the newer trucks and buses in developed countries must withstand the permissible NOx limits and should be fitted with SCRs. Moreover, owing to the ongoing and upcoming stringent emission norms in developing countries such as China, India, and Thailand, the demand for SCRs is expected to increase significantly across all diesel vehicle types by 2022 at a global level.

Passenger car is estimated to dominate the catalytic converter market during the forecast period

By vehicle type, the passenger car segment is estimated to dominate the catalytic converter market owing to its largest share in vehicle production all over the world. Asia Oceania also happens to be one of the largest markets for passenger cars. However, the region has a low adoption rate for various aftertreatment devices. Moreover, the Asia Oceania passenger car market is dominated by gasoline engines that also restrict the adoption rate of various diesel aftertreatment devices. The adoption rate of aftertreatment devices in HDVs such as buses and trucks are higher as these vehicles are equipped with large diesel engines and emit a higher amount of harmful gases compared to passenger cars.

Asia Oceania is expected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period

Asia Oceania has the largest market share of vehicle production with about 54–56% of the total vehicle production. China, India, and Japan are the largest vehicle production hubs because of rising urbanization, increasing GDP, and industrialization among others. With the growing vehicle production, vehicle emissions have also increased significantly. Considering this, few countries such as China, Japan, and India have implemented vehicle emission norms. For instance, China and India are currently running on China IV and BS IV. However, they are planning to implement China VI and BS VI by 2020 which is equivalent to Euro VI. Moving toward strict emission norms will create a huge demand for various aftertreatment devices. In Asia Oceania, China and Japan are the leading countries for the catalytic converter market, by aftertreatment device.

Catalytic Converter Market Global Growth Trends

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Stringent emission and fuel efficiency regulations around the globe to fuel the demand for catalytic converters

Exhaust emission from automobile sources has become a major contributor to air pollution and environmental problem. Increasing vehicle production has, in turn, increased emissions around the world.

Increasing aftermarket for catalytic converters

The demand for a catalytic converter in the aftermarket is influenced by factors such as increasing average age of vehicles, improving infrastructure, growing number of vehicles on the road, average miles driven, replacement cycle of catalytic converter, and growing concern about vehicle maintenance.

Increasing demand for SCR in heavy diesel engines

There has been an increase in emissions of polluting substances such as CO2 and NOx particles from vehicles into the environment. At present, there are two types of catalytic converters available for reducing NOx particle emissions from diesel engine vehicles, namely, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Lean NOx-Trap (LNT).

Restraints

Increasing sales of battery electric vehicles

The global battery electric vehicle market has grown rapidly. Factors such as rising concerns over global warming and air pollution and the federal and state government support to reduce air pollution are driving the BEV market. BEVs use an electric motor to propel the vehicle. Hence, these vehicles are not equipped with an exhaust system or catalytic converters.

Opportunities

Nanoparticles for Catalytic Reduction

Catalytic converters use precious metals as catalysts to reduce the emission of harmful gases from the engine. These metals primarily include platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Nanotechnology is one of the solutions that scientists have found, to increase the effectiveness of the converter.

Introduction of Real Drive Emission (RDE) tests

The Real Drive Emission (RDE) test uses a Portable Emission Measurement System (PEMS) to measure harmful pollutants from the exhaust gas such as NOx emitted by a car while driving on the road. The RDE test is crucial to minimize the difference between approved vehicle emission results and those in the real world.

Recycling of automotive catalysts

Vehicle exhaust contains many harmful compounds such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. Their volumes in the automotive exhaust gas can be decreased by fitting catalytic converters to the exhaust gas system. The price of these materials is very high, and that is why there is a need to collect and reuse the precious metals inside auto catalysts.

Challenges

Fluctuating price of precious group metals

Catalytic converters primarily use precious group metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium for the control of vehicular emissions. However, these precious metals are very expensive and add to the cost of catalytic converters. Furthermore, increasing stringency of emission regulations across the globe demands more use of these precious metals for the reduction of vehicular emissions, thereby increasing the cost of catalytic converters. The high cost of catalytic converter owing to the rising price and consumption of precious metals is a major challenge for catalytic converter manufacturers.

Controlling Adulteration in DEF

An appropriate concentration of DEF is needed to reduce NOx emissions and increase the life of SCR components.

The study involves 4 main activities to estimate the current size of the catalytic converter market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, such as catalytic converter type and usage of different materials in catalytic converters. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and market analysis with industry experts across value chains through primary research. Bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size for different segments considered under this study.

Secondary Research

The secondary sources referred for this research study include automotive industry organizations such as the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA); corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements); and trade, business, and automotive associations. Secondary data has been collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall market size, which is further validated by multiple industry experts.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research has been conducted after acquiring an understanding of the market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from both the demand- (OEMs) and supply-side (exhaust system and catalytic converter manufacturers) across major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Oceania, and Rest of the World. Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, we have strived to cover various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report.

After interacting with industry experts, we have also conducted brief sessions with highly experienced independent consultants to reinforce the findings from our primaries. This, along with the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions, has led us to the findings as described in the remainder of this report.

Market Size Estimation

The bottom-up approach has been used to estimate and validate the size of the market. The market size, by type, in terms of volume, is derived by multiplying the country-level fuel breakup of each vehicle type with country-level production of each vehicle type (passenger car, LCV, truck, and bus) and country-level catalytic converter type penetration rate (which is estimated using secondary research and then validated by primary interviews) for each vehicle type. The country-level market size, by volume, is multiplied with country-level average OE price (AOP) of each type of catalytic converter for each vehicle type to get the country-level market, by value. The summation of the country-level market would give the regional level, and then further addition provides the global market, by type [three-way catalytic converter (TWCC), four-way catalytic converter (FWCC), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and lean NOx trap (LNT)].

The total value of each country is then summed up to derive the total value of the market, by type. Similar methodology has been followed for market of off-highway vehicle (construction equipment, mining equipment, and agriculture tractors) based on type. For deriving the market for catalytic converters, by material, the total volume of the market is multiplied with the average weight of each type of catalytic converter. This will give the market, in terms of weight, for each type which is further multiplied with the percentage usage of each material (platinum, palladium, rhodium, and others) used to make catalytic converters. This will give the total market for each material, in terms of weight. The market size, by weight, is multiplied with the average selling price of each type of material to get the regional-level market, by value. The summation of the regional-level market would give the global market, by material.

The catalytic converter aftermarket, by vehicle type-passenger car, LCV, and HCV, in terms of volume- has been derived by multiplying the regional-level parc of each vehicle type with regional-level average miles driven for each vehicle type. The total derived miles driven at the regional level of each vehicle type is then divided by regional-level average life of each catalytic converter for each vehicle type to analyze the catalytic converter aftermarket, by vehicle type, in terms of volume. The regional aftermarket size, by volume, is multiplied with a regional-level average selling price of each catalytic converter for each vehicle type, which gives the global catalytic converter aftermarket, by vehicle type, in terms of value.

Data Triangulation

All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified by primary sources. All parameters that are said to affect the markets covered in this research study have been accounted for, viewed in extensive detail, and analyzed to obtain the final quantitative and qualitative data.
