Diesel Engine Catalyst Market

Market Overview

The Global Diesel Engine Catalyst Market Size is projected to grow at CAGR of approximately 7.5% during the forecast period.

Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) are the largest technology category in the relevant industry due to their easy installation and minimal maintenance needs.

The phrase "diesel engine catalyst" refers to a catalyst made especially for diesel engines and other machines to reduce emissions. These catalysts promote the chemical oxidation of CO and HC as well as the organic fraction (OF) of diesel particles. The inclusion of DOC, one of the diesel engine catalysts, which increases the NO2 content of the exhaust stream, greatly supports the effectiveness of diesel particle filters and SCR catalysts.

The COVID-19 had a negative impact on the market for diesel engine catalysts since strict lockdowns and social isolation were required to halt the virus's spread. The shaky economic environment, a portion of a company closing, and low customer confidence all had an impact on the market for diesel engine catalyst. The logistics process and the supply chain were both hampered by the outbreak. In the post-pandemic climate, it is projected that the market for diesel engine catalysts would expand due to the relaxation of the restrictions.

Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

The increased government efforts to minimize emissions are one of the main drivers of the market growth for diesel engine catalysts. 
When businesses spend more to meet government requirements, the market gains.

Market Restraints

Market expansion is anticipated to be hampered by the significant reliance of performance on temperature and loss of activity due to thermal deactivation and poisoning. 

Additionally, during the forecast period the market for diesel engine catalyst is expected to face challenges from the spike in demand for battery electric cars and changes in diesel costs.

Market Opportunities

The market players will have prosperous prospects from 2022 to 2029 because of advancements in washcoat technology and a rise in automakers understanding of the use of catalytic converters. The need for Scr in large diesel engines is also driving growth in the market for diesel engine catalysts.

Market Scope

Segmental Analysis

Segmentation By Type

• Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC)

In order to convert hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (CO) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water, an aftertreatment component known as a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is used. All of our EU Stage IV/U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final products, ranging from the 400F to the 1206F, use the device.
Must adhere to strict emissions laws regardless of whether you use your diesel engine on public roads or not. You may do this by using a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), an aftertreatment device that effectively transforms CO and hydrocarbons into CO2 and water vapor.

• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

Diesel particulate filters (DPF) are tools that use filtering techniques to physically trap diesel particles in order to keep them from escaping into the atmosphere. Currently, the most efficient way to reduce diesel particulate emissions, including particle mass and number, is to use diesel particulate filters.

Filters are particularly successful in reducing the solid percentage of diesel particles, including elemental carbon (soot), and the ensuing emission of black smoke because of the particle deposition techniques utilized in these devices. The organic fraction (OF) and sulfate particles, which make up the non-solid components of PM emissions, may be little or not affected by filters.

• Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), a complex active emissions control technology system, reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) tailpipe emissions from current generation diesel-powered vehicles and equipment to virtually zero levels. The SCR system is made up of many parts that are put together with other emissions control system elements. Depending on the manufacturer, different system components have different types and arrangements.

Segmentation By Application

• On-Road

The vehicles themselves are designed to not fall over when they meet tough terrain. Contrary to this, on-road cars are designed to go over well constructed roads while providing the driver with the most comfort possible.

• Off-Road

Off-road vehicles may move around without being constrained by a defined road construction. These automobiles go across wide expanses. For such vehicles, the terrains may often be difficult.

Regional Analysis

The Global Diesel Engine Catalyst Market is segmented by region as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa.

To lessen air pollution, North America and Europe have set tight emission regulations. As a result, it is projected that in the years to come, these regions will continue to dominate the market for heavy-duty diesel catalysts.

Additionally, over the next 10 years, market growth in Asia Pacific is predicted to be the fastest. Additionally, it is projected that trade would expand in China and India, two developing nations. As the population of these nations continues to increase, it is predicted that the demand for vehicles for transportation and other uses will increase.
