Dublin, Oct. 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w9vnkq/fuel_additives)
has announced the addition of the "Fuel
Additives Market - By Diesel, Gasoline & Aviation Applications,
Types (Deposit control, Antioxidant, Corrosion inhibitor, Lubricity
and Cetane improvers) - Global Trends & Forecast to 2017"
report to their offering.
Fuel additives are the chemicals that are used to enhance the
properties of the fuel to which these are added. These are mixed
with fuel such as gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, fuel oil, etc.
to improve fuel efficiency and economy. These help the fuel in
meeting environmental emission control standards and improve engine
or vehicle performance. Apart from these qualities, the fuel
additives serve other purposes such as reduction of corrosive
effects, enhance combustion properties, and develop various grades
of fuel blends required for various commercial, automotive,
industrial, and aerospace sectors.Fuel additives are designed to
meet the increasingly stringent environment norms as various
countries are implementing regulations to control emissions.
Stringent environmental regulations, increasing demand for clean
and efficient fuel, and depleting crude reserves are the main
market drivers of the fuel additives market.
Fuel additives market is witnessing an increase in demand due to
the increasing consumption of Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD),
which requires more dosing of additives. Though the gasoline
consumption has experienced a dip worldwide but the unleaded
gasoline used nowadays requires more dosing of additives, than the
regular gasoline. Better and improved aviation fuel also requires
heavy dosing of additives.
This report on fuel additives market segments the market by ten
mostly used additives types such as deposit control additives,
cetane improvers, antioxidants, dyes & markers, lubricity
improvers, cold flow improvers, stability improvers, corrosion
inhibitors, octane improvers, and anti-icing. The increasing
utilization of fuel in different sectors necessitates the
innovation and development of enhanced fuel additives to derive
maximum performance out of the fuel and machines.
The best growth opportunities for the fuel additives are in the
Asia-Pacific and Eastern Europe region, whereas mature North
American and West European markets are predictable to register a
modest growth. Moreover, China will be the fastest-growing country
in global fuel additives market as its strong economic growth
continues. In mature markets such as the U.S., Western Europe, and
Japan growth will be driven more by the stricter implementation of
environmental regulations.
