ntifreeze Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Antifreeze, also known as coolant, is a liquid that is mixed with water to help regulate your engine during high temperatures. As the temperature outside changes from hot to cold, coolant is pumped through the engine block to maintain an even operating temperature. Antifreeze does more than just keep the temperature stable. Antifreeze is a necessary engine coolant that aids in temperature regulation in vehicles. In hot weather, antifreeze prevents the water in the engine and radiator from boiling over. It can work with liquids at temperatures as high as 275 degrees Fahrenheit.

Global Antifreeze Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Incorporation of high performance lubricants

The introduction of high-performance lubrication as a result of changing environmental regulations to reduce carbon footprints has resulted in high-performance and enhanced fuel efficiency of vehicles. Automotive antifreeze is added to high-performance lubricants to keep them from freezing, which increases engine durability. This is expected to provide a significant growth to the automotive antifreeze market in the coming years. To ensure market sustainability, key market players are focusing on new product launch strategies and geographic expansion.

• Development of bio-based antifreeze to eliminate toxicity in the nature

Prolonged exposure to automotive antifreeze can cause poisoning in humans as well as toxic effects in small animals. Governments in several countries are taking disciplinary actions to offset harmful effects that could harm the environment by contaminating water resources.

As a result, manufacturers in the automotive antifreeze market are incorporating bio-based antifreeze into various lubricant formulations in order to meet the standards set forth by various government bodies. As it is environmentally friendly and biodegradable, consumers are increasingly preferring bio-based automotive antifreeze.

Opportunity

Increased demand for antifreeze and engine coolant products from original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket in the automotive industry is driving the antifreeze market forward. Furthermore, in the forecast period, battery thermal management using liquid cooling systems in electric and hybrid vehicles is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the antifreeze market.

Restraints

However, the introduction of coolants with long service lives and the rising trend of engine downsizing are acting as market restraints for antifreeze in the forecasted period, whereas the volatile price of raw materials, combined with antifreeze recycling, will challenge market growth over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Antifreeze Market

The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant impact on the global antifreeze/coolant market. The automotive coolant market is being impacted by concerns about business closures and the recession. New vehicle registrations are declining as lockdown orders limit the number of vehicles on the road. According to the OICA report, the automotive industry faces a 16% decrease in production in 2020, to less than 78 million vehicles, which is equivalent to 2010 sales levels. Europe as a whole saw a drop of more than 21% on average. All of the major contributing countries experienced significant decreases ranging from 11% to 40%. Furthermore, the aviation industry suffered significant losses as a result of the pandemic, which reduced market demand. In 2022, China's aviation sector will seek to turn losses into profits this year, recovering to 85% of its pre-COVID volume of domestic passenger’s trips.

Recent Development

• In August 2021, Valvoline Inc. and Haertol introduced new coolants technology designed specifically for modern engines, Valvoline Antifreeze Coolant HT-12 Green and Valvoline Antifreeze Coolant HT-12 Pink.
• In July 2021, Castrol launched Castrol ON e-thermal fluid, an advanced new direct battery e-thermal fluid that will allow future generations of E.V.s to be charged more quickly while also providing increased performance, protection, and sustainability.
