Europe and Middle East & Africa Ethylene Glycol Antifreeze Market to Grow at a CAGR of 5.5% to reach US$ 1,342.73 Million from 2021 to 2028

The Europe and Middle East & Africa ethylene glycol antifreeze market is expected to grow from US$ 974.67 million in 2022 to US$ 1,342.73 million by 2028. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2028.

Ethylene glycol antifreeze is a colored liquid mixed with water to help regulate engine temperatures. Ethylene glycol, water, and additives are some raw materials required for antifreeze manufacturing. Antifreeze additives help prevent the coolant liquid from freezing and protect engines from damage. The increasing vehicle production and aftermarket for antifreeze and engine coolants is mainly driving the Europe and Middle East & Africa ethylene glycol antifreeze market

The growing necessity for improving the health of engines, radiators, and other automotive systems is mainly driving the ethylene glycol antifreeze market. In addition, the increasing automotive vehicle production in Germany, France, and the UK requires ethylene glycol antifreeze. According to the data presented by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), in 2021, nearly 9.9 million passenger vehicles were manufactured in European Union. Furthermore, the increasing focus of automotive manufacturers on developing technologically innovative automotive engines is likely to favor the region's ethylene glycol antifreeze market growth.

Market Insights

Increasing Vehicle Production and Aftermarket for Ethylene Glycol Antifreeze and Engine Coolants

Ethylene glycol antifreeze is used as an additive with the coolant in the internal combustion (IC) of liquid-cooled engines to adjust the freezing and boiling points. These additives prevent the coolant liquid from freezing and protect engines from damage. The automotive sector has witnessed tremendous growth in the past few years due to the increasing demand for passenger cars. Despite facing the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020–2021, the sector bounced back in the fiscal year 2021–2022. The surge in automobile sales, relaxation of travel restrictions, and rapid mass vaccination programs favored the revival of the automotive vertical. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) report, the automotive sector grew by ~5% from 2020 to 2021.

The increasing demand for premium vehicles is another factor driving the market. Using a high-end engine with very high potential provides superior performance in terms of total weight, acceleration, and quality. High-performance cars are gaining momentum due to aerodynamic design, tires, smart suspension, and improved brakes. Such cars require a lot of ethylene glycol antifreeze to dissipate the excess heat generated by the engine and other vehicle components. Antifreeze also helps in regulating the temperature during extreme conditions. Besides, ethylene glycol antifreeze-based lubricants prevent rust, corrosion, and engine failure and extend engine parts' life.

Technology Insights

Based on technology, the ethylene glycol antifreeze market is segmented into inorganic additive technology and organic acid technology & hybrid organic acid technology. In 2020, the organic acid technology & hybrid organic acid technology segment held a larger market share. Organic acid technology-based ethylene glycol additives are efficiently used as diesel colling agents in heavy-duty diesel cooling systems. The increasing maintenance demand for heavy-duty vehicles is driving the market for the organic acid technology & hybrid organic acid technology segment.
