Market Highlights
Automotive aftermarket fuel additives refer to the sector of the automotive industry that deals with the sale of fuel additives and treatments designed for use in vehicles after they have been sold and are in regular use. These additives are typically used to improve fuel efficiency, and engine performance, and reduce emissions. Fuel additives come in various forms, including liquid additives that are poured into the fuel tank or added during fueling.
Automotive production declined in 2018 as well as in 2019 and was expected to start rebounding from 2020 onwards. However, the sudden outburst of the pandemic trashed the market hope. As a result of that, there was an enormous decline in the production of automobiles across regions. The grave impact of this was registered across the supply chain including the level of components.
Automotive aftermarket fuel additives, a sizeable market, could not escape from such trends and witnessed a colossal decline amid the pandemic, quite aligned with the decline in automobile production. However, the industry is gradually rebounding in the year 2021 with the ramp-up in consumer confidence. Furthermore, government regulations, engine maintenance, and a growing vehicle fleet are likely to give impetus to the demand for aftermarket fuel additives. Overall, the automotive aftermarket fuel additives market is likely to rebound at a promising CAGR of 8.2% in the long run.
