Global Automotive Catalyst Market size was valued at USD 27.7 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 42.6 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.24% during the forecast period (2022-2028).
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.

Market Trends
The major market participants for automotive catalysts are making investments in the development and enhancement of catalysts. A three-way catalyst can reduce the emitted pollution from vehicle at 100% conversion efficiency at its operational temperature, normally above 400C, which is substantially higher. Johnson Matthey Inc., a prominent manufacturer of automotive catalysts, is developing a three-way catalyst for future vehicles that will significantly increase fuel efficiency and minimise CO2 emissions at lower operating temperatures. The market for automotive catalysts is expected to have future growth opportunities as a result of this innovation in automotive catalysts.
