Automotive Filters Market Dynamics
Driver: Increase in stringency in emission regulations and fuel economy norms
Regulatory and government bodies around the world have implemented stringent emission norms for vehicles that emit harmful gases such as hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon dioxide (Co2), and others. For instance, in December 2021, US environmental protection agency (EPA) implemented new emission regulations for passenger cars and light trucks for the model years 2023-2026. Similarly, the European Commission has proposed a new emission regulation for vans and passenger cars to reduce the emission of CO2 by 12%. At the same time, the demand for electric vehicles has tripled. Further, Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) has been implemented for passenger cars and two-wheelers in India since Apr 2020, which needs the installation of diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) and diesel particulate filters (DPF) in cars to achieve the defined emission targets. Thus, to reduce Co2 emissions, regulatory bodies such as EPA and European Commission have mandated installing diesel particulate filters and selective catalysts reductions (SCR) technologies for diesel passenger cars and light trucks.
Furthermore, most passenger cars now run-on gasoline. Many OEMs are shifting their focus from multi-port fuel injector systems to gasoline direct injections (GDI) engines in their vehicle models to produce more power with less fuel. With the rise in the adoption of the GDI system, emission regulatory authorities worldwide have made regulation norms for pollutants emitted from GDI engines. For instance, in 2019, the European Union made it mandatory to install gasoline particulate filters in GDI engine vehicles. Gasoline particulate filters (GPF) have been introduced to reduce particle number emissions from GDI vehicles. Thus, a rise in stringency in emissions regulation from different authorities around the world would create lucrative opportunities for after-treatment filters such as diesel exhaust filters (DPF), gasoline exhaust filters (GPF), urea filters, and crankcase ventilation filters
On the other hand, emission regulations for commercial vehicles are also getting stringent in recent years worldwide. For instance, in March 2022, the EPA proposed new emission regulations for smog, soot, and other air pollutants from on-highway commercial trucks and buses. The proposed standard would significantly reduce the smog and soot which forms the nitrogen oxides (NOx) from heavy-duty commercial vehicles and buses. Similarly, in June 2019, the European Union introduced rules on particulate matters of black carbon from commercial trucks and buses. The new regulation targets reducing particulate matter of 0.1 microns, which is 50% smaller than a human hair. To achieve these emission standards, the US EPA and European Regulation have mandated the installation of diesel particulate filters (DPF) and urea filters within SCR technology in heavy-duty diesel engines.
Further, the EPA has published the crankcase emissions norms for diesel engines. The regulation focuses on diesel particulate matter such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide. The EPA has made it mandatory to install crankcase ventilation filters in heavy-duty trucks to achieve crankcase emissions by either returning them to the intake for re-combustion or sending them ahead of the exhaust emission control systems into the exhaust stream. Hence, mandates from emission regulatory bodies have pushed OEMs to install after-treatment filters such as diesel exhaust filters, crankcase ventilation filters, and urea filters.
Restraint: Use of washable/Non-replaceable filters to impact the demand for aftermarket filters.
Non-replaceable filters are washable and can be used for a longer period. But, to clean the filters, a special cleaning kit is required. The replacement of air filters by K& N engineering lasts up to 50,000 miles between servicing, based on the driving situations. With the help of the K&N air filter cleaning kit, air filters can be easily cleaned and re-oiled to bring them back to a brand-new condition and, thus, prepare them for another 50,000 miles of use. This is a cost-effective option for vehicle owners in the long run since there is no need for replacement. Some of the vehicle models that use OE-fitted non-replaceable filters are Volkswagen Jetta and Toyota Fortuner. K & N Engineering, AIRAID, and AEM induction systems are some of the manufacturers of these non-replaceable automotive filters
In the future, the filter aftermarket would be impacted by the non-replaceable filters since various filters, such as air and cabin filters, need not be changed in the vehicle's entire lifespan. The market for non-replaceable filters is at a very nascent stage. However, in the coming years, these filters will likely have a decent market owing to their various advantages, such as zero replacement and cost savings over conventional filters.
Opportunities : Advancements in filter media/technology
A filter media is a core component of a filter. Filter media in filters is used to collect any foreign and unwanted particles. Different filter media types are used in different filters based on application. Most of the filter manufacturers are using cutting-edge filter media to gain a competitive advantage o
A filter media is the core component of a filter. It is used to capture any unwanted and foreign particles. It comprises cellulose, synthetic, glass fiber, and activated carbon, depending on the applications. Advancements in filter media types or technology will offer a huge opportunity for automotive filter manufacturers in the coming years. Currently, cabin filters are offered to resist dust particles entering the vehicle. Most dust filters stop 100% of all particles that are 3 microns or larger and 95–99% of particles that are 1–3 microns in size. However, there will be a mass market for dust and odor filters in the coming years. The blend of dust and odor filters has a coating of activated charcoal or baking soda to absorb odor and air pollutants.
Nowadays, most vehicles’ air intake filters are made up of cellulose media, which is very cost-effective. However, synthetic media types are gaining popularity and would have a decent market share in the future, mainly due to their various advantages over cellulose media. For instance, synthetic media types offer increased flow area, provide high performance, and are less sensitive to water. These filters can allow better airflow for combustion, resulting in higher fuel efficacy and lower emission. MANN+HUMMEL, for instance, is focusing on developing synthetic ultra-fine fiber media with a high separation efficiency, which is expected to increase the service life of filters.
Challenges: Availability of Local Products to Hinder Demand for OE Filters
Prominent and well-established players such as a Mann+Hummel (Germany), Mahle GmbH (GmbH), Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany), Donaldson Company, Inc. (US), AHLSTROM-MUNKSJÖ (Finland), and (Italy) offers a wide range of filters and filter media for the OE market. Further, these companies also provide after-sales support for vehicles. With the rise in passenger cars and heavy commercial vehicle production and parc, demand for automotive filters in the aftermarket would also increase.
In addition to these established players, several local and regional players such as Elofic Industries Limited (India), Lucas TVS Limited (India), Dale Filter Systems (India), A.L. Filter (Israel), and UFI Filters (Italy) are also operating in the automotive filters market, catering to all vehicle types of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and buses. These local and regional players mainly focus on aftermarket demand for automotive filters, creating stiff competition for established companies due to lower cost, easy availability, and can be sold with lower profit margins. These local or regional players offer automotive filters at lower prices, which poses a challenge for established players while replacing OE-recommended filters. Many local suppliers are expected to offer products per OE recommended specifications with comparatively lower prices, which restricts the aftermarket business growth for major suppliers.
