Asia-Pacific Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) Market Research Report Forecast to 2030

Asia-Pacific Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) Market Research Report Forecast to 2030

Market Overview

The increasing demand for diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) in end-use industries, including automotive, agriculture, and construction, is the major factor projected to boost the market growth. The growth of the market is also driven by the increasing regulations regarding greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions and an increase in the demand for the product in the automotive industry. However, the fluctuating prices of raw materials, such as urea, will majorly hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a liquid used to reduce air pollution caused due to diesel engines. It is also known by the names AUS 32 and ARLA 32 and is marketed as AdBlue. The DEF or AdBlue is an aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. To meet stringent NOx emission standards beginning in 2010 for commercial truck engines and beginning in 2014 for most off-road engines, most engine makers have installed an embedded selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology in diesel vehicles, which requires DEF to operate. AdBlue is filled in a separate tank in vehicles with SCR technology. DEF is injected in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, where it is heated in the exhaust stream and decomposes into ammonia and CO₂. When the NOx from the engine exhaust stream reacts inside the catalyst with the ammonia, the harmful NOx molecules in the exhaust stream are converted to harmless nitrogen and water, which are then released from the vehicle's tailpipe. Typically, a diesel engine requires about 3% DEF of the fuel.

Market Overview

Based on application, the market is broadly categorized into automotive, construction machinery, farm machinery, electronic generators, railway engines, and others.
