Fuel Additives Market Introduction

Fuel additives are compounds formulated to improve the efficiency and quality of fuels used in marine vessels, aircraft, and motor vehicles and in fixed installations such as refineries and power stations. Fuel additives act as corrosion inhibitors or lubricants and enhance fuel's octane rating, thus allowing use of higher compression ratios for greater power and efficiency. With increasing usage of renewable blending components such as Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) in diesel and bioethanol in gasoline, there exists a potential market opportunity for advanced additive products to ensure satisfactory vehicle operations and consistent high-quality fuel production. Prominent players in the market have been introducing a wide range of fuel additives to meet end user needs. Also, continuous increase in demand for advanced fuel additives and amendments in legislation policies and regulations regarding specifications of fuels are encouraging major players to invest substantial amount on the R&D activities.
