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.

The market size of engine & cabin air filters, by material, was calculated using the top-down approach. Extensive secondary and primary research was carried out to understand the global market scenario for the types of material used in engine & cabin air filters. Several primary interviews were conducted with key opinion leaders concerning cabin air filter development, including key OEMs, Tier-I suppliers, and filter manufacturers. Qualitative aspects, such as market drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges, were considered while calculating and forecasting the market size.

Filters in a vehicle remove foreign and unwanted substances/particles, which can cause severe damage to the vehicle system or human health. Some automotive filters include air filters, oil filters, brake dust filters, steering filters, cabin air filters, fuel filters, and coolant filters.
According to Mann+Hummel, a renowned automotive filter market player, combustion air always contains particles that should not be allowed to penetrate the inside of the engine. Therefore, applying air filters is essential to protect the engine and its components.
