Antifreeze market to derive remarkable revenue from automotive applications, highly innovative product launches to fuel the industry expansion over 2017-2024
Endorsed by the rapidly growing automotive sector and the strong commercial air traffic flow across major geographies, antifreeze market has indeed accomplished appreciable gains in the recent years. Colloquially known as coolant, antifreeze is popularly used in automotive and aerospace engines for maintaining the overall engine temperature of the vehicle and its cooling system depending upon the atmospheric temperature. Using antifreeze efficiently helps to majorly enhance the engine performance, on the grounds of which many automakers have been giving extensive preference for the product to prevent freezing in the cooling engine of the automobile at a sub-zero temperature. Anti-freeze not only prevents corrosion and scale formation in the engine but also helps to improve its capability to transfer heat. Consequently, major antifreeze industry giants have been continuously enhancing their product efficiency and applicability. In fact, increasing popularity of engine cooling agents among several automakers has been primarily forecast to boost antifreeze market share over the years ahead.
