Historically, the sales of diesel exhaust fluids (AdBlue) were driven by the extensive deployment of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles such as mining and construction vehicles and trucks. However, the increasing enactment of stringent vehicular emission norms by the governments of several countries and the growing requirement for higher fuel efficiency, especially in the European, Asian, and North American countries are fueling the requirement for these fluids in passenger vehicles as well.
The governments of many countries are increasingly launching initiatives, such as strict environmental regulations, for reducing air pollution. For example, in the U.S., the emission standards were upgraded from United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Tier 2 to USEPA Tier 3 in 2017. Similarly, in Europe, the Euro 6 emission standards were enacted and the region aims to enact stricter amendments in the forthcoming years, which would, in turn, push up the demand for diesel exhaust fluid.

Additionally, the mushrooming sales of heavy-duty vehicles such as trailers and trucks, on account of the rising industrialization rate and the rapidly improving logistics infrastructure in order to ensure the timely delivery of products in remote areas, are also fueling the demand for these fluids across the globe. As per reports, nearly four million trucks are predicted to be sold globally by 2023. This will subsequently cause the expansion of the diesel exhaust fluid market.
Additionally, the growing demand for product transportation is augmenting the deployment of heavy-duty trucks, which is, in turn, propelling the requirement for bulk storage solutions. Geographically, the diesel exhaust fluid market will exhibit rapid expansion in Asia-Pacific (APAC) in the coming years, as per the estimates of the market research company, P&S Intelligence. This will be because of the surging sales of heavy- and medium-duty vehicles and the implementation of strict emission norms in the regional countries.
Hence, it can be safely said that the demand for diesel exhaust fluid will shoot up in the forthcoming years, primarily because of the growing enactment of strict emission norms and the mushrooming sales of heavy-duty vehicles, on account of the booming transportation and logistics industries and the launch of infrastructural development projects in various countries.
