Driveline Additives Market Research - 2031
The global driveline additives market size was valued at $7.4 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $10.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2022 to 2031.
The driveline additives market is segmented into Vehicle Type, Additive Type and Product Type.
Driveline additives are designed to improve vehicle performance in terms of fuel efficiency as well as vehicle longevity. Driveline additives are required in autos to achieve optimal lubrication. When these items are mixed into transmission fluids, they reduce friction and eliminate heat. Furthermore, driveline additives, such as high-pressure anti-corrosive additives, are used to avoid scuffing, spalling, wear & tear, and scoring from causing downtime or device failure. These products protect and shelter the automobiles from heat, foam, and copper rusting.
The market for driveline additives is predicted to develop in response to rise in customer interest in improving vehicle fuel efficiency. Driveline additives aid in the reduction of energy loss and, as a result, improve energy efficiency. Surge in fuel costs and growth in customer desire to improve vehicle fuel efficiency are expected to propel the market forward in the coming years. Furthermore, driveline additives aid in the reduction of carbon emissions from cars. Key players are always working to increase lubricity in order to ensure that automobiles adhere to strict carbon emission standards all over the world. Furthermore, as the automotive industry expands and the number of vehicles manufactured rises, the demand for efficient driveline additives is expected to increase. This is likely to raise demand for driveline additives and encourage producers to increase production and supply of the product. However, volatility in the supply of raw materials coupled with the general impact of higher crude oil prices is expected to hinder the market growth of driveline additives. Furthermore, increased number of partnerships for manufacturing of additives is projected to propel the driveline additives market growth over the forecast timeframe.
The driveline additives market is segmented into product type, vehicle type, additives type, and region. By product type, the market is categorized into transmission fluid additives, gear oil additives, and others. On the basis of vehicle type, it is fragmented into passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and off-highway vehicles. As per additives type, it is classified into dispersants, viscosity index improvers, detergents, anti-wear agents, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, friction modifiers, emulsifiers, and others. Region-wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
