The global automotive selective catalytic reduction market size was valued at USD 9.07 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 13.89 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.61% during 2025-2033. Asia Pacific currently dominates the market, holding a significant market share of over 38.9% in 2024, driven by growing industrial activities, strict emission standards, and increasing adoption of diesel vehicles, especially in China, India, and Japan.
Automotive selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is an advanced active emissions control technology system that reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) tailpipe emissions to near-zero levels in newer generation diesel-powered vehicles and equipment. It relies on diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to convert nitrogen oxides into nitrogen, water, and tiny amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). It is highly cost-effective and fuel-efficient, which allows manufacturers to balance engine performance and maximize fuel economy. At present, there is a rise in the production of vehicles, which is catalyzing the demand for automotive selective catalytic reduction (SCR) globally.
Automotive Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Market Trends:
The growing utilization of automotive catalysts systems in emission control devices of automobiles represents one of the key factors driving the market across the globe. Moreover, governments of several countries are implementing stringent regulations on the emission of pollutants from vehicles owing to the combustion of fuels, such as diesel fuel, fuel oil, petrol, gasoline, and biodiesel. As a result, manufacturers are installing automotive SCR systems in vehicles, which is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, there is a considerable increase in the prevalence of respiratory diseases due to the growing air pollution around the world. This, coupled with the rising awareness about the benefits of automotive SCR to reduce emissions, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Besides this, the increasing development of transportation infrastructure worldwide is positively influencing the market. Apart from this, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to develop three-way catalysts for vehicles that improve fuel efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emission substantially at lower operating temperatures. In line with this, the expanding automobile industry is bolstering the growth of the market.
