Octane Improver Fuel Additives Market Segmentation:

Application Segment Analysis

The global octane improver fuel additives market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into automotive, industrial, aviation, and others. Out of the four types, the automotive segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 55% in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for automobiles across the globe. This as a result has increased the use of octane improver fuel additives. Octane boosters are gasoline additives that are added to the fuel tank to raise the fuel's octane rating.  For instance, octane improver gasoline additives can boost an engine's performance, improve efficiency, and reduce the environmental impact of automobile engines. As per estimates, within the next two years, the global sales of connected vehicles will reach over 77 million units.

Type Segment Analysis

The global octane improver fuel additives market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into ethanol, methyl tertiary butyl ether [MTBE], and methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl [MMT]. Amongst these three segments, the ethanol segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2035. When combined with gasoline, the high-octane fuel ethanol raises the fuel's total octane rating, which makes it appropriate for use in traditional gasoline-powered engines. Since it has a greater octane rating than gasoline, ethanol works well as an octane booster. Moreover, it may aid in lessening engine knock, which may boost engine output and fuel economy. Besides this, utilizing ethanol as a gasoline additive can help minimize dangerous emissions of pollutants from the engine. This, as a result, is anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the growth of the segment in the coming years.[SD2]
