Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicles, Heavy Commercial Vehicles)

The global catalytic converter market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by vehicle type into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles. Out of the three types of vehicles, the heavy commercial vehicle segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing production volume of heavy commercial vehicles coupled with higher utilization in transportation. As of 2021, approximately 22 million units of commercial vehicles were produced across the globe. Additionally, around USD 2 trillion was generated by the global automotive industry in a similar year. The demand for heavy commercial vehicles is also up-surged by the growing transportation of goods across nations. Trucks are one of the most common mediums of transportation and a great example of HCVs. For instance, in 2020, the trucking industry generated nearly USD 700 billion around the globe.

Furthermore, the passenger cars segment is expected to garner the second-largest share in the global Catalytic Converter Market after heavy commercial vehicles. Passenger cars are multi-track vehicles that comprise around two axles that can further extend to nearly 9 seats and are mainly used for passenger transportation. A passenger car has the capacity to weigh around 3 tons. To drive a passenger car on the road, a person requires vehicle registration and a driver’s license.
