Gasoline Octane Improvers Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Ethanol, Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (ETBE), Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether (TAME), Others), By End-Use (Automobile, Aviation, Marine, Others)and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Gasoline octane improvers are additives that enhance the octane number of gasolines. Octane number is unit of measuring the anti-knock properties of a fuel. Enhancement in the octane number of fuels causes significant reduction in the emission of carbon. It also enhances the performance of the engine and allows fuel to withstand higher compression ratios.

The increasing demand for passenger vehicles is substantially increasing the demand for gasoline octane improvers market. For instance, Europe manufactured 19.2 million of vehicles in the year of 2018. The increasing adoption of additives like gasoline octane improvers to follow the rules imposed by governing authorities in different countries is likely to drive the market.

However, prolonged used of such fuel additive can potentially cause engine strain which is expected to hamper the market growth.
