Global AdBlue Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)
Report Overview
AdBlue is a fluid which is automatically sprayed into a car’s exhaust system to reduce the nitrous oxide emissions of diesel engines. AdBlue is made of a mixture of urea and deionised water. The widespread usage of AdBlue in modern diesel cars coincided with stricter Euro 6 emissions standards that have been in effect since 2016. AdBlue makes it much easier to lower the emissions of diesel cars so they comply with these regulations.
With the development of the market, high-quality AdBlue products will gradually become the mainstream of consumption. Enterprises tend to buy more reliable AdBlue. The quality of AdBlue directly affects the work efficiency of the transportation industry. High-quality AdBlue can reduce potential maintenance costs and time costs.
Key trends in market development also include a shift in supply channels to filling station models. In the future, with the continuous increase of customer demand and the diversification of sales, matching with gas stations or independent urea filling stations will become the development trend of the industry, the supply channels will be further improved, and the convenience for users to purchase vehicle urea will be greatly improved. will also further reduce
At the same time, with the further strengthening of supervision in various countries and regions, the enhancement of national environmental protection awareness and the upgrading of consumption awareness, a large and stable AdBlue customer market will be formed.
The global AdBlue market size is projected to reach US$ 9865.75 Million by 2028, from US$ 4730.23 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 12.48% during 2022-2028. The government policy of stricter emission standards and stricter emission monitoring will To be a key enabler for the growth of the AdBlue market. Beginning in November 2022, Europe is working hard to promote stricter vehicle exhaust emission standards. Compared with ""Euro 6"", the ""Euro 7"" standard is more stringent, reducing the nitrogen oxide emissions of small cars and vans by 35%, and the nitrogen oxide emissions of buses and trucks by 56%. In China, China VI b emission standards, which are stricter than Euro VI emission standards, will be officially implemented on July 1, 2023.
Because the sales of heavy and medium vehicles have increased due to the evolving transportation needs to support the movement of goods and population growth, which largely contributes to air pollution. Road transport is the largest source of urban air pollution. Nitrogen oxides are produced by car engines along with tiny particles that, when combined with other pollutants in the atmosphere, can harm sensitive lung tissue in animals and humans. AdBlue can significantly reduce emissions of environmentally harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx), thereby helping to meet strict emission limits set by various standards. With the implementation of stricter exhaust emission standard policy, higher requirements are put forward for the exhaust emission of motor vehicles and other related machinery, and the market space of chemical products such as urea for vehicles required in the exhaust gas treatment system will be further opened.
In addition, in order to achieve environmental protection goals faster, governments of various countries are using stricter emission monitoring in addition to issuing stricter exhaust emission standards.
Another trend worthy of attention is the decline in urea prices. As the most important raw material of AdBlue, urea has a very important price. In 2022, the price of urea will rise sharply due to multiple factors. However, as both natural gas and coal prices fell, the cost of urea fell. Going forward, the transaction price of urea is estimated to decline slowly within 12 months.
At the same time, the increase in the penetration rate of hybrid or pure electric vehicles will hinder the development of the AdBlue market. The world is going through a climate emergency, with global warming and green issues becoming top of mind. Therefore, fleets need to present a greener image. Businesses once invested in diesel company cars have turned to hybrid and electric alternatives, while rental companies are offering customers a mix of hybrid or petrol models. This will have a huge impact on diesel car sales. Diesel exhaust fluid demand is directly related to diesel vehicle sales, thus, declining diesel vehicle sales are expected to restrain the growth of the AdBlue market over the forecast period.
According to the type, AdBlue can be divided into Pack (Below 20L), Pack (20L~200L) and Pack (200L~1000L). Among them, the Pack (Below 20L) type dominates the AdBlue market and has already accounted for 80.15% of the market share in 2021. This goes hand in hand with the type's ease of sale and transport, as well as ease of refilling. During the forecast period, the dominant position of Pack (Below 20L) will continue to be maintained.
From the perspective of application scenarios, AdBlue can be divided into Medium and Heavy Trucks, Light Trucks, Bus, Passenger Car, Others. The main reason for the use of diesel engines in medium and heavy trucks is that the trucks are larger and cannot be driven by small displacement gasoline engines. The diesel engine has strong power, low fuel consumption, and can also reduce the cost of maintaining a car. It is most suitable for large vehicles such as trucks. This makes medium and heavy trucks the most important revenue generator in the AdBlue market. In 2021, the medium and heavy trucks segment accounted for 80.79% of the market share. During the forecast period of 2022-2028, we estimate that the market size of light trucks type will expand at a CAGR of up to 24.10%. Light trucks are expected to have great market development potential in the future.
On basis of geography, the AdBlue market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. Asia-Pacific and Europe are the two largest markets for AdBlue, with a market share of 39.32 % and 38.55%. Europe has a high deployment rate of passenger cars, heavy trucks and light trucks. Moreover, the increasing use of off-road mobile machinery in Asia and Europe in sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and forestry is positive for the market. At the same time, stringent emission standards such as Euro VI and the increasing use of SCR technology in commercial vehicles are driving the expansion of the industry. The market size in Asia Pacific will expand at the highest CAGR of 16.27% during the forecast period. The local prosperous logistics, fast-growing industry and construction industry have contributed greatly to this.
According to our calculations, in 2021, the indicators CR5 and HHI related to AdBlue market concentration will be 59.48% and 13.88% respectively. This shows a relatively low market concentration. Due to the low barriers to entry, the entire AdBlue market is still in fierce competition. It is expected that in 2022, the market concentration will decrease.
