Nylon Fuel Filters Could be the Dark Horse in the Car Fuel Filter Market

Posted by Arslan on February 18th, 2019

The automobile industry is one of the most critical for any nation’s economic development which is why countries focus so much attention on it. Global carmakers have shifted their focus to emerging markets as the strong economic growth there has led to an increased desire for personal mobility. With a number of emission scandals dominating headlines in the last few years, customers would naturally be concerned with the quality of fuel used in their vehicles, making the car fuel filter market get its fair share of the limelight. Proactive customers, coupled with stricter governmental regulations pertaining to emissions, are expected to make the fuel filter market boom in the long term.

Close Competition between Spin-on Filters and Inline Fuel Filters

The market opportunity is likely to be similar in the spin-on filter and inline fuel filter segment as both have a revenue share of more than a fifth of the car fuel filter market. The spin-on filter segment is on track to be worth more than US$ 100 million by the end of the forecast period. Europe contributes more than a quarter of the revenue in the car fuel filter market for the spin-on filter segment and companies would be advised to focus their energy on this continent. While the continent is also a strong market for inline fuel filters, APEJ is projected to record a strong CAGR and it could even become larger than Europe in the long-term on account of a massive population that seeks out personal mobility coupled with strong economic growth.

Gasoline occupies the balance 2/5^th revenue share in the car fuel filter market. Gasoline is generally considered ‘cleaner’ than diesel which explains its popularity in the passenger vehicle segment. However, the fuel quality in emerging markets is often of an inferior quality when compared to developed countries for a number of reasons. If fuel filters are not deployed, there is a high probability that the combustion engine can get damaged with dust particulates. Thus, a market opportunity of just under US$ 180 million by 2022 exists in the gasoline fuel filter market as well. Companies could look at targeting North America over Europe as consumers there express an overwhelming preference for gasoline vehicles over their diesel counterparts.

The premium passenger car segment represents a small market opportunity in the car fuel filter market in terms of vehicle type. However, it would be unwise to ignore a market of nearly US$ 50 million by end 2022 as rising disposable incomes would make consumers demand premium passenger cars in the long run. Europe and APEJ are neck-and-neck in the premium passenger car segment and it will be interesting to see if and when APEJ outpaces Europe.

The mid-sized segment consists of a quarter of the revenue share by vehicle type in the car fuel filter market but is likely to lose market share to both premium and compact cars. Key stakeholders are advised to target Europe and APEJ as these are the only two regions that should push past US$ 28 million by the end of the study period.
