The exhaust and after-treatment market is set for considerable growth, not
only through the significant global vehicle production volume growth forecast
but also through significant increases in the revenue generated for each
system. The tightening regulatory environment has led to considerably
increased revenues per vehicle and this is set to improve globally as emerging
high growth markets catch up with Europe and Northern America in terms of the
level of equipment needed to meet regulations.
Automotive emissions system technology is precompetitive not only in the US
and Europe, but largely, across emerging markets as well. The awkward, and
ultimately costly situation where different national and regional regulation
and testing regimes that have required different emissions technologies and
systems in order to satisfy disparate markets is being steadily eroded by the
harmonisation of emissions regulations. A measure that will bring huge long
term benefits to those players in the exhaust and aftertreatment sector.
Having initially endured the difficult situation of meeting environmental
regulations developed across three different markets; the US, the European
Union and Japan, OEMs and suppliers have found that emerging markets have
largely been able to pick their regulation 'off the shelf' which has meant
that those suppliers that have successfully developed technology to meet those
regulations enjoy a competitive advantage in the emerging markets.
About this report
This third edition examines the key drivers in this sector including fuel
economy and CO2 emissions, noxious emissions and health concerns and platinum
group metal trends. The report goes on to examine exhaust and aftertreatment
technologies, in particular gasoline engine emissions control and diesel
engine emissions control. It considers regional forecasts of vehicle
production by fuel type and considers the global growth of the exhaust and
aftertreatment component market.
The report contains a wealth of figures and tables and is accompanied by 18
detailed profiles of the major supplier companies active in the sector.
