Global Automotive Catalyst Market Insights
Automotive Catalyst Market size was valued at USD 12.45 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 12.8 billion in 2023 to USD 18.98 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% in the forecast period (2024-2031).
Automotive catalyst is used in the exhaust system of vehicles to control the emission of harmful gases, such as hydrocarbons, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other particulate matter, into the atmosphere. It helps convert harmful gases into less toxic gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Platinum, palladium, rhodium, and other rare and expensive metals are used as catalysts in automobiles, which increases the cost of the automotive catalyst. However, manufacturers are inclined towards adopting nanotechnology to enable them use expensive metals efficiently. The governments of developed countries have established emission control standards to control release of pollutant from vehicles into the atmosphere. For instance, Euro 6, European emission standards is a European government initiative for emission control in the European region.
Factors such as emission control regulations by government and increase in the production of automobiles fuel the growth of the automotive catalyst market. Automobile manufacturers produce vehicles with emission control technologies to meet the stringent regulations set by the government. However, rise in penetration, and production of electric vehicles hinders the growth of the automotive catalyst market. In addition, high cost of precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium used in automotive catalyst restrains the growth of the market. Furthermore, government initiatives regarding emission control in developing nations and innovation in emission technologies for fuel efficiency are anticipated to provide remarkable future growth opportunities to the automotive catalyst market.
US Automotive Catalyst Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Global Automotive Catalyst Market Segmental Analysis
Global Automotive Catalyst market is segmented on the basis of product type, engine type, application, raw material, and region. By product type, the Automotive Catalyst Market is segmented into Two-way catalytic converter, Three-way catalytic converters, diesel oxidation catalyst. By engine type, the Automotive Catalyst Market is bifurcated into diesel, gasoline, others. By application, the Automotive Catalyst Market is segmented into heavy-duty vehicle, light-duty vehicle. By raw material, the Automotive Catalyst Market is segmented into rhodium, platinum, palladium. By region, the Automotive Catalyst Market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA.
Automotive Catalyst Market Analysis by Product Type
Among the product type segments, three-way catalytic converters had the largest revenue share in the global market in 2021 and is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. This is due to its growing popularity and preference over two-way catalytic converters due to the additional benefit of controlling nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitric oxide (NO) emissions, which two-way catalytic converters cannot do. Increasing nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide emissions have previously resulted in acid rain, a major environmental concern. This, combined with effective emission reduction using three-way catalytic converters, is propelling revenue growth in this segment.
The diesel oxidation catalyst segment had the second-largest revenue share in the global market in 2021 and is expected to grow at a significantly high rate during the forecast period. This is due to increased demand for diesel-powered vehicles in countries around the world, as well as increased demand for diesel oxidation catalysts to reduce emissions from diesel-powered vehicles.
Automotive Catalyst Market Analysis by Raw Material
Among the raw material segments, rhodium held the largest revenue share in the global market in 2021 and is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. The high revenue share contributed by the rhodium segment is due to properties such as higher activity towards nitrogen removal from exhaust emissions when compared to other metals, more effective oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and lower cost when compared to other metals such as platinum, which results in rhodium being preferred by major automotive catalyst manufacturers.
In 2021, the palladium segment accounted for the second-largest revenue share in the global market, and it is expected to grow at a significantly high and consistent rate during the forecast period. This is due to product characteristics such as cost-effectiveness in comparison to other metals, good thermal stability, and the efficiency of this metal for hydrocarbon oxidation, which drives revenue growth in this segment.

Global Automotive Catalyst Market Regional Insights
Asia Pacific dominated the global automotive catalyst market. Increasing regulations pertaining emission control limits implemented by China's State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) to curb vehicular pollution is anticipated to boost the demand for automotive catalyst in Asia Pacific. Moreover, these regulations will limit the use of increased PGMs in the coating of an automotive catalyst substrate. This, in turn, is likely to make auto catalyst expensive in the coming years and, therefore, increase market revenue share.
Europe was the second-largest contributor to the production of automobiles. The country accounted for an output of 22 million motor vehicles. Europe automotive catalyst market is likely to register second-highest CAGR. The implementation of Euro VI and VII guidelines is expected to boost the demand for automotive catalyst in the region.
North America is expected to experience slow growth in terms of volume due to the increasing average life of vehicles. This can be attributed to the growing efficiency and durability of automotive catalyst, which helps them last through the lifecycle of the vehicle. However, the prices of automotive catalyst in North America are considerably high, which, in turn, is likely to contribute to the market value of automotive catalyst in the region. The demand for HDVs is expected to be growing in countries such as India, Brazil, China, South Korea, and Russia. Heavy-duty vehicles are mostly diesel-powered and emit harmful exhaust gases in comparison to light-duty vehicles. The higher content of platinum PGM used in automotive catalyst for HDVs is expected to increase the price of autocatalyst catering to this segment.

Global Automotive Catalyst Market Dynamics
Automotive Catalyst Market Drivers
- Rise in per capita GDP and disposable income of the global population has led to an increase in the number of vehicles in use. Rapid increase in the rate of motorization is boosting the demand for automotive components. Auto catalysts have become a vital part of vehicles to minimize emissions.
- Auto catalysts were designed to last for the entire lifespan of vehicles, but as the automotive technologies have developed, lifespan of vehicles has increased, which creates the need for replacement of auto catalysts after a specific period. Moreover, the number of accidents is increasing, which further fuels the demand for replacement auto catalysts. This increase in demand from OEMs and aftermarket segments is propelling the global auto catalyst market.
Automotive Catalyst Market Restraint
- Prices of precious metals are rising worldwide, which in turn boosts the price of catalysts. Platinum is widely used precious metal in automotive catalysts due to its efficiency and corrosion-resistance in oxygen-excessive conditions. This rise in price hampers the demand for auto catalysts. Furthermore, an increase in the rate of adoption of battery electric vehicles is also restraining the global the automotive catalyst market, as these vehicles do not have engines and hence produce zero emissions.
