The global autocatalyst market size reached USD 13.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 18.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% during 2025-2033.
An autocatalyst is made by converting ceramics or metals into a fine honeycomb structure and coating it with a solution of platinum, rhodium, and palladium. It is usually installed in the exhaust system of vehicles to help transform toxic substances like hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide into harmless nitrogen, water, and carbon dioxide. Nowadays, three-way catalysts are gaining traction as advanced systems for the emission treatment of gasoline vehicles. These catalysts comprise ultra-thin and high cell substrates that operate at low temperatures to eliminate toxic substances from vehicle ignition efficiently.
Vehicular emissions are highly harmful to the environment and human health as they can lead to acidic rain and a rise in global temperature, skin irritation, and respiratory issues. In line with this, the continual increase in the sales of vehicles and consequent surge in gas emissions have compelled governing agencies of numerous countries to implement stringent laws concerning automobile emissions. This represents one of the key factors positively influencing the demand for autocatalysts across the globe to eliminate particulate and atmospheric matter. Apart from this, due to rising environmental concerns, the leading manufacturers are adopting recycling methods and sustainable manufacturing processes. They are also investing in new technologies to improve the functions of autocatalysts, which is anticipated to propel the growth of the market. For instance, they are using nanotechnology or alumina thin films at high temperatures as sol-gel technology to improve precious metals distribution and contain gaseous emissions.
The competitive landscape of the industry has also been examined along with the profiles of the key players being BASF SE, Cataler Corporation (Toyota Motor Corporation), Corning Incorporated, Cummins Inc., DCL International Inc, Faurecia, Heraeus Holding, Ibiden Co. Ltd., Solvay and Tenneco Inc.
