Appearance Chemicals, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches
comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market
size, share and demand forecasts on the global Automotive Aftermarket
Appearance Chemicals market. The global market for Automotive Aftermarket
Appearance Chemicals is projected to reach US$5.1 billion by 2022, driven by rising average age of vehicle
fleet, a parallel increase in maintenance expenditure, and undeterred customer focus
on aesthetic appearance.
The large
global base of vehicle fleet is expected to benefit demand for automotive aftermarket
appearance chemicals. The growth in the world's vehicle fleet can be put into
perspective by the fact that the transportation industry currently accounts for
over 50% of the world’s oil consumption, most of which is consumed in the form
of motor fuel. Given that the vehicle fleet size is directly proportional to
the population of a region, China and India which are already the most
important automotive markets in the world, will emerge as strong markets for
aftermarket products including appearance chemicals. The growth in the number
of ‘Do-it-Yourself’ customers is benefiting demand for aftermarket appearance
chemicals. The rise in the number of female DIYers is especially poised to support
sales of waxing & polishing products, and Protectants. Also encouraging growth is the growing trend among
aging baby boomers to restore their classic cars. The growing number of car
wash centres, against a backdrop of a growing 'Do-It-For-Me' (DIFM) services market,
will help drive sales of car shampoos and wheel cleaners. Financial austerity practiced
by consumers is leading to a rise in demand for pre-owned cars and leased
vehicles.
Popularity of
pre-owned vehicles is especially high in the United States and Europe. Economic
factors play an important role in the automotive market, and in turn on the
automotive appearance chemicals market. Depending on the circumstances,
economic factors play a key role in driving both the new car market as well as
the used car market. Development of the new car market as well as the used car
market bodes well for the automotive appearance chemicals market. New car sales
tend to lead to increase in per capita consumption, while a vibrant used car
market enables increased usage of automotive appearance chemicals.
As stated by
the new market research report on Automotive Aftermarket Appearance Chemicals, Europe represents the largest market
worldwide. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 5.5% over the analysis period, led
by factors such as stable economic growth, growing employment rates, rising
standards of living, increasing disposable income, growing per capita car
ownership, higher propensity to spend on vehicle care and maintenance among the
growing base of affluent middle class population, development of the
transportation sector and the ensuing increase in commercial vehicle fleet
especially service vehicles more focussed on appearance and new establishment
of service centers specializing in providing exterior and interior detailing services
and rapid proliferation of car wash stations in industrial and residential areas.
