Automotive Catalytic Converter Market Expansion Drivers: What’s Shaping Future Growth?
The demand for zero-emission vehicles is driving the automotive catalytic converter market. The zero-emission vehicles refer to the modes of transportation that, in which vehicles operate, produce no hazardous emissions that hurt the environment or human health. The increase in global warming due to harmful gases emitted by vehicles has increased the demand for zero-emission vehicles. To reduce hazardous emissions, catalytic converters use reduction and oxidation (redox) reactions, using a reduction catalyst made of platinum and rhodium, which removes nitrogen atoms from nitrogen oxide molecules (NO and NO2). For instance, in June 2024, according to the International Council on Clean Transportation, a US-based non-profit organization, in 2023, new electric light-duty vehicle sales in the United States climbed to approximately 1.4 million, an increase from nearly 1 million in 2022, bringing their market share to around 9%. Therefore, the demand for zero-emission vehicles will drive the growth of the automotive catalytic converter market.
