Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) Market Research Report Information By Storage Solution (Bulk Storage, Dispensers, Tanks, Portable Containers, Others), By Application (Automotive, Construction Machinery, Farm Machinery, Electronic Generators, Railway Engines, Others), By Region Industry Forecast to 2028

The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) Market Size is expected to increase at a CAGR of 8.57% over the forecast period. Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a liquid that helps to minimize air pollution caused by diesel engines. It is also sold under the designations AUS 32 and ARLA 32 and promoted as AdBlue. DEF, or AdBlue, is an aqueous urea solution containing 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. To meet stringent NOx emission limits beginning in 2010 for commercial truck engines and beginning in 2014 for most off-road engines, most engine manufacturers have implemented selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology in diesel vehicles, which requires DEF to function. AdBlue is stored in a separate tank in vehicles equipped with SCR technology. In the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, DEF is heated in the exhaust stream and decomposes into ammonia and CO₂. When the NOx from the engine exhaust stream combines with ammonia inside the catalyst, the dangerous NOx molecules are transformed into harmless nitrogen and water, which are subsequently expelled from the vehicle's tailpipe. Typically, a diesel engine requires approximately 3% DEF in fuel.
