Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or AdBlue is an aqueous solution of urea, effective in reducing Nitrogen oxide emissions. It is a popular fluid mix for diesel and gasoline fuel-based vehicles. Diesel exhaust fluid is extensively used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides.
The exhaust gasses are treated with DEF in the exhaust pipe and then converted in the catalyst into Nitrogen (N) & water (H2O). This system in vehicles is called selective catalytic reduction (SCR). With the recent introduction of VI vehicle emission standards (auto fuel emission norms), there would be a massive demand for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) Market, witnessing dramatically increased usages of AdBlue.
Governments of countries across the globe accentuate CO2 emission values. Simultaneously, rising sales of diesel-powered diesel vehicles, such as SUVs & MPVs, and the sedan segments, including luxury vehicles, boost the market size. Diesel vehicles emit less CO2 than their gasoline counterparts; however, in the SUV segment, the diesel option emits more.
The average diesel vehicle emits more CO2 than the average gasoline vehicle. With the introduction of VI norms, automobile companies are implementing several technical changes in diesel vehicles. They are provisioning for fitting diesel particulate filter, selective catalytic reduction (SCR), and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Stringent NOx emission standards for commercial truck engines and off-road engines propel the market growth.
On the other hand, fluctuating prices and the demand-supply gap in raw materials required for AdBlue production are the major factors impeding the growth of the global DEF market. Nevertheless, the rising adoption of embedded selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology by engine makers would support the market growth throughout the assessment period. Also, the increasing governmental focus on reducing carbon emissions and air pollution caused by a diesel engine would create a substantial demand for AdBlue.
