The market for Specialty Fuel Additives Market is expected to reach USD$ 11.20 Bn in 2027.
The global specialty fuel additives market accounted for US$ 7.13 Bn in 2018 and is anticipated to grow to US$ 11.20 Bn at a CAGR of 5.8% throughout the forecast period from 2019 to 2027.
The rising emphasis on producing clean energy and fuels without compromising efficiency, coupled with rising awareness about the conservation of resources and sustainable development, are some of the major factors driving the specialty fuel additives market growth. A combination of factors, including the growing automotive industry, degrading quality of crude oil, and stringent regulatory norms, among others, are factors proliferating the demand of the global market. The increasing toxin levels across the globe as a result of fuel used in vehicles adversely affect the environment, which positively influences the growth of the specialty fuel additives market. Specialty fuel additives help curb the emission of harmful gases and help in enhancing the efficiency of other products such as gasoline, diesel, and other fuels.
In addition, the rising trend in North America and Europe to achieve cold flow performance by blending biodiesel and additives is anticipated to drive the demand for specialty fuel additives. For instance, the U.S. Environmental Protection Act (EPA) has made it mandatory for all heavy vehicles to use cleaner diesel with less sulfur content which is possible by applying cold flow improvers. This, in turn, is driving the demand in the specialty fuel additives market. Apart from this, increasing ethanol consumption is also likely to boost the demand for specialty fuel additives further. In addition, corrosion inhibitors' use to protect fuel distribution and storage in automobiles is expected to bolster market growth.
Based on product, the specialty fuel additives market is classified into cetane improvers, antioxidants, deposit control additives, lubricity improvers, cold flow improvers, and others (corrosion inhibitors). The deposit control additives segment dominated the market with a share of more than 20% and is expected to grow at a rapid pace. Owing to the rising use of detergents as fuel supplements, prevention of deposit formation in the injector nozzle, and rising demand for fuel-efficient automobiles are factors fueling the segment's demand.
In contrast, the cold flow improvers segment is anticipated to expand rapidly throughout the forecast period. Demand for cold flow improvers is mainly driven due to North America and Europe as there is a high demand for ultra-low sulfur diesel, which can be attained by using cold flow improvers.

On the basis of application, the global specialty fuel additives market is further classified into aviation fuel, diesel, gasoline, and others. In 2018, the diesel segment dominated the specialty fuel additives market and accounted for the maximum share of the overall market. The growth in the segment can be attributed to the high consumption of diesel globally, especially in emerging economies such as India, China, and Indonesia, among others. In addition, diesel is more environmentally hazardous than other materials, which in turn presents lucrative opportunities to the specialty fuel additives market.
In contrast, the increasing use of gasoline in the U.S. and China is anticipated to fuel the demand for gasoline in the coming years. However, the increasing popularity of diesel over other fuels hampers the market growth of the gasoline segment.
In 2018, the North American region led the global specialty fuel additives market and contributed more than 30% of global revenue. This can be attributed to product innovation in terms of quality, and stringent environmental regulations, among others. The U.S. accounted for more than 75% of the North American revenue share. This is because the market is highly regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which monitors and provides guidelines for fuel additive products.
In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is projected to witness the highest growth. Owing to the rapid industrialization and huge demand from various end-use industries, including construction, power generation, and automotive, among others. Apart from this implementation of stringent regulations for emission control in China, India, and Japan, among others, further bolstered the region's market growth.
