  Rising emission standards are driving market growth

  
  

Market CAGR for mobile emission catalysts is being driven by the increasing emission standards. The market for mobile emission catalysts is expanding rapidly as emission laws become more stringent. The governments of several nations are establishing rigorous emission rules to decrease hazardous emissions from automobiles, which is boosting demand for mobile emission catalysts. Mobile emission catalysts are used in automobiles to limit the emission of hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. The growing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles is also driving demand for mobile emission catalysts, as these vehicles generate hazardous gases during the combustion process. The growing awareness of the adverse impacts of air pollution on human health is also propelling the growth of the mobile emission catalysts market. Mobile emission catalysts are used to limit the emission of hazardous gases from automobiles, hence improving air quality. Increased investments in research and development operations to create better mobile emission catalysts are also propelling the market forward. Market participants are concentrating their efforts on creating mobile emission catalysts that are more efficient and can lower dangerous gas emissions from automobiles to a larger extent. As a result, the increasing stringency of emission standards is propelling the growth of the mobile emission catalysts market.

Electric vehicle usage is quickly increasing as a result of growing concerns about air pollution and increased government attempts to minimize carbon emissions. However, the production of electric vehicles necessitates a substantial amount of energy and resources, resulting in the emission of greenhouse gases. To solve this issue, the usage of mobile emission catalysts in electric vehicles is growing to reduce dangerous gas emissions such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons. Furthermore, rising expenditures in the development of innovative mobile emission catalysts to increase the performance of electric vehicles are likely to propel the mobile emission catalysts market forward. The rising demand for electric vehicles in emerging economies like as China and India is expected to open up attractive potential for mobile emission catalysts market participants.
