According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Coolant Market is accounted for $4967.26 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $7454.51 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. Automotive coolant is a dark liquid that flows in the engine motors of various vehicles. These coolants come in both liquid and gaseous forms. Coolant aids in keeping the engine motors cool by removing excess heat. Automotive Coolant market's expansion is likely to be supported by the rising popularity of automobiles and automakers as well as the ongoing interest in research and development aimed at making useful, environmentally friendly, and low-poisonous goods with a long lifespan.
According to OICA, the production of passenger cars around the globe has grown from 68.6 million units in 2015 to 72.1 million units in 2015 at a rate of 5.1%. The increased sales of passenger cars is due to the improved standard of living and per capita income in various countries
Market Dynamics:Driver: Expanding automotive industry
The automotive coolant industry has picked up significant traction owing to the robust growth of the automotive aftermarket sector. The rise in demand for vehicles and automakers and continuous investments in R&D for the development of cost-effective, environment-friendly, and less toxic products with a high life are likely to boost the automotive coolant market. Moreover, the easy and abundant availability of various materials, including ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and glycerin, in developed countries helps new entrants develop such products and also drives the automotive coolant market. In the view of the rising number of research activities within the chemical industry, automotive coolants are constantly subjected to technical innovations, in terms of material composition. This also fuels the automotive coolant market across the globe.
Restraint:Crude oil price volatility
The global Automotive Coolant market is expected to hinder growth during the forecast period. Crude oil prices that are volatile or unpredictable have a detrimental effect on petrochemical production, which in turn has an impact on the production of propylene glycol and ethylene glycol. Consequently, primary raw materials have varying prices could emerge as a significant challenge in the global automotive coolant market.
Opportunity:Thriving automobile sector in emerging countries
High demand for e-class, crossovers, SUVs, and hatchbacks is driving the passenger vehicle segment, which in turn is likely to boost the automotive coolant market. Rise in preference for private transport and buying power of consumers is driving the passenger vehicle segment of the market. By the end of the projection period, the passenger car sector is projected to control a sizeable portion of the market. This is explained by an increase in utility vehicle demand in nations with dense populations. The recent trend of substituting toxic, ethylene glycol with safer, organic-based coolants is anticipated to offer significant opportunities to the market, which will spur the Automotive Coolant market.
Threat:Increasing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles
There may be a drop in demand for conventional coolant solutions as more people switch to electric and hybrid automobiles. The lack of the same type of engine cooling systems needed for conventional combustion engines in electric and hybrid vehicles may have a long-term influence on the demand for coolant goods and services. Furthermore, significant demand for electric mobility, increasing fuel prices, and stringent regulations framed by governments in various regions. Thus, it is anticipated that the aforementioned factors will limit market growth throughout the forecast period.
Covid-19 Impact:The COVID-19 outbreak has had a brutal impact on the automotive coolant industry, taking temporary closure of production facilities and decreased demand into account. While the globe works to stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, numerous top businesses are attempting to strengthen their supply networks and speed up operations to prevent future losses. The worldwide market can accelerate in the years to come with the new coronavirus under control and the progressive lifting of the lockdown across nations.
The glycerine segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The Glycerin segment is expected to account for largest share in the automotive market. It recently attracted a lot of attention in the automotive coolant aftermarket as fluids for the coolant's base. Glycerin, a by-product of biodiesel is also being studied for use in coolants, if it worked, it may be a competitor to ethylene glycol in future. Since it has a high viscosity index, its application is uncertain because it might need to be diluted first and it affects the expansion of the market as a whole.
The passenger cars segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Due to it is a multi-track vehicle with at least two axles, its own driver and usually four wheels, the passenger cars segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. It is primarily intended for passenger transportation. Most passenger cars are road vehicles used in public road transport are propelling the segment growth.
Region with largest share:The Asia Pacific region market is estimated to witness a largest share of the global Automotive Coolant market during the forecast period, due to higher volume of vehicles produced in prominent countries, including China and Japan, and lower manufacturing and labor cost across the region. Moreover, availability of inexpensive labor and raw material in the region coupled with increasing number of local manufacturers is likely to propel the market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
Region with highest CAGR:Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, due to the higher volume of cars produced in significant countries like India, China, and Japan as well as lower manufacturing and labour costs in the area. The availability of inexpensive labour and raw materials in the region, the growth of local manufacturers, and other factors are also expected to contribute to the Asia-Pacific market's expansion throughout the course of the projected period. The country's expanding need for coolants may benefit significantly from coolant manufacturers expanded domestic manufacturing of coolants.
