Automotive Engine Degreasers Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Aerosol Form Degreasers, Foam Form Degreasers), By Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automotive engine degreasers are primarily used to remove the unwanted materials, impurities and grime substances such as oil, dirt, and grease from the automobile components made of aluminium, copper, magnesium, steel, and plastic. These degreasing agents are a combination of emulsifiers, solvents and surfactants. The degreaser is chosen depending on the kind of engine to be washed as well as the position of the engine in the vehicle. These agents produces a foam on the engine which can easily cleaned with water. Engine pollution by sludge, grease or other ignition by-product deposits is likely to adversely affect the total motor performance and efficiency of the vehicles. In order to ensure improved and greater efficient vehicle performance, the rising demand for reducing the pollution of engines and other vehicle mechanisms by the deposits is expected to boost the aftermarket of automotive degreasers in the forecast period. In the regular maintenance services of consumers, the adoption rate of precautionary measures taken to ensure vehicle efficiency is high, which is expected to further promote the after-sales market of automotive degreasers in the coming years. The rapid growth in the production volume of passenger cars and commercial vehicles as well as increased lifespan of automobiles are likely to fuel the market growth. Moreover, the stringent regulations imposed by the governments to reduce vehicular emission are stimulating the need to maintain the engine and other motor mechanisms of the vehicle clean and free from contaminations.

Market Segmentation:

Globally, the automotive engine degreasers market is segmented by type, by vehicle type, and by geographic coverage. Based on type, the automotive degreaser market is further segmented into foam form degreasers and aerosol form degreasers. The foam form degreasers hold the major share in the global market owing to the easy availability and at lower cost. However, the aerosol form degreasers are now gaining high traction in the market and are expected to dominate the global market in the coming years. The aerosol degreasers are more effective as the solvent used for washing and cleaning are easily mixed with the surrounding air causing faster and effective grime removal as compared to the other form of degreasers. Also, the easy usability as well as minimal waste generation produced by the aerosol degreasers. Based on vehicle type, the automotive cleaner and degreaser market are further divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The passenger cars segment is likely to surge at a significant growth rate during the forecast period owing to the increasing sales and production of passenger cars across the globe.
