Global specialty fuel additives market generated volumes of 1.56 million tons in 2015. Its revenues are projected to reach USD 10.5 billion by 2024. This can be attributed to rising penetration of alternative fuels and higher focus on sustainable practices.

Regions like the EU, China, and U.S. are highly conscious of protecting our environment. They have introduced regulations that encourage the adoption of sustainable resources. This trend is expected to spread to others geographies as well, having a favorable impact on demand for specialty fuel additives.

Product wise the specialty fuel market can be segmented into Cold flow improvers, deposit control additives, corrosion inhibitors, Cetane improvers, lubricity improvers, and antioxidants, etc. In 2013 global market deposit control additives turn out as primary product segment. They find application in all sorts of fuels and are used to control deposit formation on injectors. Global demand will show significant growth in future owing to the introduction of new technology injector systems and engines. To enhance the performance and improve the cetane number, cetane improvers mixed to fuels. To minimize the delay of ignition in diesel engines, optimal cetane number must be kept.

Key Players:
The global specialty fuel additives market is moderately concentrated. Key vendors comprise BASF SE, Infineum, NewMarket, Afton Chemical Corporation, Angus Chemical Company, Evonik Industries AG, and Clariant International Ltd. High costs associated with research and development, technology, and manpower are the primary challenges for market entry.

The market is segmented on the basis of products, applications, and regions. Products encompass deposit control additives, antioxidants, cetane improvers, cold flow improvers, lubricity improvers, corrosion inhibitors, and others. Deposit control additives led the market in 2013, accounting for 40% volume share. Cetane improvers, with 11% of the volumes, stood second.

Rising use of detergents as fuel additives is an important driver of the dominance of deposit control additives. Cold flow improvers could grow at the fastest rate (CAGR of 8%) from 2016 to 2024 (forecast period). This could be credited to expanding demand for biofuel in Europe and North America.

Applications are split into gasoline, aviation turbine fuel (ATF), diesel, and other. ‘Other’ includes marine fuel and heating oil. They accounted for 5% of the market in 2013. Gasoline held over 46% of the market volumes in 2013. Although the U.S. generates robust demand for this fuel, other parts of the world prefer diesel. In fact, diesel is anticipated to surpass gasoline and reign supreme by 2024.
