Automotive appearance chemicals help clean and remove dirt from vehicles while enhancing their shine and durability. They generally include cleaners, protectants, compounds, cleaner glazes, sealants, and polishes and swirl removers. They are made using phosphates, colorants, fragrances, water, solvents, oils, abrasives, surfactants, emulsifiers, silicones, and synthetic waxes. Presently, several manufacturers are launching innovative product variants to remove oxidation, scratches, scuffs, dulling, water spots, and buffer swirls, which further assist in protecting and retaining the visual appearance of vehicles.
Automotive Appearance Chemicals Market Trends:
Significant growth in car ownership on account of rapid urbanization and inflating disposable incomes represents one of the main factors influencing the market. Moreover, the boosting sales of vehicles for commercial and industrial uses are catalyzing the demand for automotive appearance chemicals across the globe. Besides this, due to growing environmental concerns, government agencies of several countries are implementing stringent regulations on petroleum products like waxes and coatings. As a result, leading manufacturers are utilizing bio-based chemicals to manufacture eco-friendly product variants. They are also investing in research and development (R&D) activities to expand the usage of automotive appearance chemicals, which is widening their scope and offering lucrative growth opportunities. Apart from this, due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the implementation of complete lockdown in numerous countries, individuals are preferring private cars as the safest mode of transportation instead of public transport. This, along with the burgeoning automotive industry, is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market in the upcoming years.
