The global automotive catalytic converter market size is expected to reach $183.4 billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 7.7% from 2016 to 2022. Automotive catalytic converter reduces the emissions in the automobiles by removing toxic compounds such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbon from the exhaust system of vehicles. The manufacturers are engaged in the development of advanced catalytic converters that extensively diminish the toxicity of the emissions as well as improve automobile efficiency. Stringent emission standards such as the Bharat Stage V & VI in India that are based on the European Standard Euro V and Euro VI have made catalytic converter installations mandatory for automobile assemblers.
Growth in adoption of stringent emission norms and rise in vehicle production & sales worldwide are the major factors that drive the market growth. Increase in demand for electric & hybrid vehicles and high R&D expenditures restrain the market growth. Increase in vehicle penetration in the emerging nations is projected to provide lucrative opportunity to the market from 2014 to 2022.
The global market is segmented based on type, catalyst, and geography. By type, the market is segmented into two-way oxidation catalytic converter, three-way oxidation-reduction catalytic converter, and diesel oxidation catalyst. In terms of catalyst, the market can be categorized into palladium, platinum, and rhodium. Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
