    Market Size Estimation

    The bottom-up approach has been used to estimate and validate the size of the automotive filter market. The market size, by volume, of the automotive filters market has been derived by identifying the country-level vehicle production data (a) for each vehicle type (PCs, LCVs, trucks, and buses) and the number of units installed of different filter types per vehicle in all considered vehicle types (b) and penetration rate of each filter type in different vehicle types considered (c). Multiplying all three factors will provide the country-level market size by volume filter and vehicle type. The market size, by value, has been arrived at by multiplying the average selling OE price of filters for each vehicle type at the country level. The summation of the country-level market gives regional and global automotive filter markets by filter type and vehicle type. A similar approach is followed for the electric & hybrid vehicle filters market by vehicle type and filter types, off-highway by equipment type and filter type, and aftermarket by filter type in terms of volume and value.
