Automotive Catalytic Converter Market Report by Product (Two-way Oxidation, Three-way Oxidation-reduction, Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), Material (Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium), Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles), and Region 2024-2032


The global automotive catalytic converter market size reached US$ 14.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 25.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% during 2024-2032. The rising environmental concerns among the masses, the increasing need for reducing carbon emissions across the globe, and the shifting inclination toward electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles represent some of the key factors driving the market.

An automotive catalytic converter is a crucial component of a vehicle's exhaust system that plays a significant role in reducing harmful emissions and protecting the environment. It is essentially a specialized device designed to convert toxic gases and pollutants produced by the combustion of fuel into less harmful substances before they are released into the atmosphere. Carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and unburned hydrocarbons (HC) are the three main pollutants that a catalytic converter is designed to help transform. The catalytic converter consists of a robust outer shell, typically manufactured of stainless steel, to withstand high temperatures and protect the internal components. Inside, there is a honeycomb-like structure composed of a ceramic or metallic substrate coated with precious metals, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These metals act as catalysts to facilitate the chemical reactions that convert harmful gases into less harmful ones. To ensure efficient operation, the catalytic converter requires a specific temperature range for the chemical reactions to occur optimally. This temperature is typically achieved within a few minutes of the engine starting once the converter reaches its operating temperature.

Automotive Catalytic Converter Market Trends:
Significant growth in the automotive sector majorly drives the global market. Coupled with the implementation of strict emission standards by governments across the globe to reduce air pollution and promote environmental sustainability, this is impelling the adoption of catalytic converters as they aid in reducing harmful emissions. Along with this, the rising awareness about environmental pollution, particularly related to air quality, is driving the demand for automotive catalytic converters across the globe. With the growing focus on sustainability, there is an increasing preference for vehicles that have minimal impact on the environment. This is encouraging the deployment of catalytic converters since they help to reduce harmful emissions, making them an essential component in addressing environmental concerns. In addition, the shifting inclination toward electric vehicles (EVs), and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles is also positively influencing the market. Additionally, the introduction of fuel cell vehicles, which also use catalytic converters, is another acting as growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, continual advancements in catalyst formulations, substrate materials, and coating technologies to improve the performance and durability of catalytic converters are creating a positive market outlook.
