Technologies that control the emission of dangerous greenhouse gases released from the internal combustion in engines and other components are termed as emission control technologies. The technologies include Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), Selective catalytic reduction (SCR), Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) and others. The global emission control technologies market was valued at $103714.73 million in 2018 & is estimated to generate net revenue of approximately $193917.90 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.17%. The base year considered for the study is 2018, and the estimated period is between 2019 to 2027. The growth of this market is driven by the following factors:

• Regulations by the government for emission control
• Growth in population
• Growth of the automotive industry

The most important driver is regulations by the government for emission control. Government has established stringent regulation for pollutant gas emission from the vehicles owing to the combustion of fuels such as diesel fuel, fuel oil, petrol, gasoline, biodiesel, and others. Euro 6 is the latest emission regulation by European Union directive to reduce harmful gases such as carbon monoxide(CO), nitrogen oxide(NOx), hydrocarbons, and others, from the exhaust system of the vehicle. Similarly, the automotive catalyst is used in catalyst converters; an emission control device is used to convert toxic and harmful gases from engines into less-toxic pollutant and help to meet the government emission standards. This fuels the growth of the emission control technology market.

The largest segment by fuel type is gasoline. A three-way catalytic converter is considered for a gasoline engine that is an internal combustion engine, which is designed to run on petrol. In this engine, fuel and air are mixed after compression with the help of electronically controlled fuel injection. While combustion of fuel, gasoline engine also produces some harmful gases such as unburned hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, and others, which can be controlled by adoption of automotive catalyst in the automobile. Leading companies operating in the automotive end-user are introducing new emission control catalysts that are efficient and use less catalytic metal, which hinders the performance. The fastest segment is Diesel. The catalytic converters considered for a diesel engine are diesel particulate filter (DPF), diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The diesel engine is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of fuel is done by the elevated temperature of the air due to the mechanical compression in the cylinder. Emission control technologies such as diesel particulate filter, selective catalytic reduction, and others, are used to reduce the emission of harmful pollutants from the diesel engines.

The restraints for emission control technologies are a rise in the electric vehicle industry and a rise in the price of catalyst. Price of metals such as palladium, rhodium, platinum, and others used as catalysts in automotive catalyst converts is on the increase. For instance, the price of platinum increased in February 2018. Considering such a rise in the price of automotive catalysts, manufacturers of catalytic converters may change the mixture of metals in their products, which results in quality degradation of automotive catalyst converters. Therefore, the high cost of automotive catalysts restrains the market.

Geographically, the global emission control technologies market has been segmented on the basis of four major regions, which includes:

• North America Emission Control Technologies Market: the United States & Canada
• Europe Emission Control Technologies Market: Germany, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Russia & Rest of Europe
• Asia Pacific Emission Control Technologies Market: China, India, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Rest of Asia Pacific
• Rest of World: Latin America, Middle East & Africa

The largest market for emission control technologies is the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific region has some of the developing nations in the world. The countries China and India are major emitters of carbon in the world. These countries are fast-growing nations in the world which are using extensive resources so as to develop their corresponding economies. Other economies such as South Korea and Australia are also developing, which makes them considerable greenhouse gas emitters. These countries are trying to keep with the pace of the world in reducing emissions. The governments in these countries are considering the efforts made by other countries regarding the reduction of emission.

The fastest growing market in Europe. European Union has been taking measures to save Europe from the pollution caused due to higher carbon emissions. The group of countries have decided to put efforts for this program collectively. European countries have developed the concept of Low Emission Zone (LEZ). These Low Emission Zones are controlled by the lower emission traffic moving through the region. Similarly, the companies operating in these regions have to follow stringent regulations for carbon emissions. These initiatives are developing the market for this market in Europe.
