Automotive Catalytic Converter Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2030)
Emphasis on Type (Two-Way Catalytic, Three-Way Catalytic and Others); Material (Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium); Vehicle (Passenger Cars and Commercial); and Region/Country

Global Automotive Catalytic Converter Market was valued at 59.40 Billion is expected to grow at a significant rate of around 9% during the forecast period (2023-2030). A Catalytic converter is an antipollution device installed in an automotive exhaust system that contains a catalyst for chemically converting pollutants gases such as carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen, into harmless compounds. Automotive sales were mainly impacted by the restrictions imposed on travel to curb the spread of COVID-19. Despite the major setback the industry is expected to see double-digit growth in years to come, which can be a major booster for the sales of catalytic converters. Factors such as owing to the Upgradation of Emission Norms and Standards coupled with the High Volume of Production and Sales of Automobiles. Major companies in the market offer Catalytic Converter for multiple automotive applications with technologically advanced features. For instance, in January 2023, Fortegra Group, Inc. announced the launch of a Catalytic Converter Theft Deterrent Product under the company’s Smart AutoCare brand. This limited warranty, which is designed to protect U.S. car owners against the rising threat of catalytic converter thefts, is already available at dozens of auto dealers across the country, with new dealers joining daily.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst Type, three-way catalytic is expected to have a significant share of the market over the forecasted period”
Based on type, the market is segmented into two-way catalytic, three-way catalytic, and others. The three-way catalytic is expected to have a significant share of the market over the forecasted period. The three-way catalytic is mainly used in vehicle emission control systems across the world. Automobiles frequently utilize three-way oxidation-reduction catalytic converters, whereas two-way oxidation catalytic converters are less effective since they cannot handle nitrogen oxide. Because there are more IC engine vehicles on the road, which is increasing the demand for three-way catalytic converters which in turn is increasing the market for automotive catalytic converter.
“Amongst material, Rhodium is expected to grow with a robust CAGR during the forecasted period”
Based on material, the market is segmented into platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Rhodium is expected to grow with a robust CAGR during the forecasted period. Rhodium is a popular material for recycling vehicle catalytic converters because it is more effective at removing dangerous exhaust emissions by breaking down nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases and releasing harmless oxygen and nitrogen gases. Most of the demand for rhodium catalysts comes from the automobile industry which in turn is increasing the market around the world.
