Antifreeze Coolant Market Trends

• Growing use of antifreeze coolants in vehicles is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for Antifreeze Coolants is being driven by the Increased use of antifreeze coolants in the automotive industry. Chemicals are used to make antifreeze, a liquid. It raises the boiling temperatures and lowers the freezing temperatures of the water-based liquids in the car's engine. It guards against damage to the engine and prevents overheating and freezing of engine parts. In contrast, coolant is generated from an antifreeze and water mixture, the exact proportions of which vary from car to vehicle. In any weather situation, coolants are used to regulate the outside temperature of fluids and engine components. Additionally, it prevents the fluid in the car's radiator system from freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer. Automotive, aeronautical, and industrial sectors all use antifreeze and coolants.

Additionally, the market has grown as a result of the increased demand for antifreeze and coolant ingredients in the automobile industry. By lowering excess heat and preventing serious damage to the engine's internal components, antifreeze and coolants maintain the ideal temperature inside the car's engine. Additionally, it has great qualities, including a low viscosity level,  non-toxicity, and anti-corrosion. The need for antifreeze and cooling agents in the automobile industry has increased as a result of technological advancement and the development of engines. Additionally, the expansion of HVAC systems in manufacturing sectors is anticipated to boost market expansion. There are some limitations and difficulties that will prevent the market from expanding. Market restraints including the growing interest in electric vehicles and fluctuating raw material prices, are having a detrimental impact.

COVID-19 had a detrimental effect on the market as demand for cars during the lockdown fell for the first time to near nil. Automobile manufacturing was also halted to uphold social distance norms and stop the virus's spread. However, demand is progressively rising due to the economy's gradual liberalization. The market is anticipated to rebound in the second half of 2021. Numerous OEMs worldwide are spending substantially in the nation to meet worldwide demand for vehicles due to the increasing need for vehicles and government subsidies offered to OEMs to support the Make in India initiative. The rising average is the other element driving the market.

For instance, the natural corrosive innovation segment is projected to contribute the largest share of the antifreeze coolant market in terms of innovation. By 2025, there are expected many potential opportunities in OAT innovation. To protect the components of the cooling framework, natural acids with carbon-based atoms are typically used in natural corrosive innovation (OAT). As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for Antifreeze coolants will increase due to the rising automotive industry. Thus, driving the Antifreeze Coolant market revenue.

In the domestic aftermarket, Lumax Auto Technologies will introduce a new line of coolants and lubricants for all vehicle categories in 2023. The company claims that India is experiencing a rapid potential and demand for high-performance and energy-efficient coolants and lubricants due to the enormous growth of the automobile industry.

Morris Lubricants improved their Ultralife line of antifreeze coolants in 2024, bringing it up to date with 169 manufacturer's specifications and global standards. A variety of engines used in the off-highway and construction industries are covered by Ultralife antifreeze coolants. Fleet managers, dealerships, and mechanics that oversee a range of OEM brands, vehicle types, and vehicle technology will find them suitable.

Valvoline, one of the top producers of lubricants worldwide in 2022, has introduced a coolant. The new Valvoline advanced coolant supports all cars and commercial vehicles and provides a 5-year or up to 5,00,000km drain interval.
