Increasing vehicle production
The automotive antifreeze market growth is driven by the increasing vehicle production due to the increasing demand for vehicles. This trend is leading to a growing demand for antifreeze coolants. In India, the overall vehicle sales grew by 12.5% in FY24 to 23,853,463 units, up from 21,204,846 units in FY23.
Rise of bio-based coolants and antifreeze
Governments and regulatory bodies are implementing stricter regulations and standards to reduce the environmental impact of industrial products. This is driving the demand for bio-based antifreeze, such as propylene glycol, glycerine, and ethylene glycol that are more sustainable.
Growing demand for high-performance vehicles and engine efficiency
The demand for high-performance vehicles and engine efficiency is leading to the automotive antifreeze market development in terms of efficient and eco-friendly antifreeze products. Castrol launched an advanced new ‘direct’ battery e-thermal fluid, Castrol ON, enabling EVs to provide enhanced performance.
Advancements in technology
Rising number of research activities, owing to investments in the chemical industry, automotive coolants are subject to robust technological advancements such as organic acid technology (OAT), hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT), which assist in creating silica and phosphate-free products.
The growth in the market for automotive antifreeze can be attributed to the rising demand for high performance vehicles. In addition, several auto racing competitions, like the Formula 1, is positively influencing the market demand for high-performance, heavy vehicles. Car coolants are a primary component to regulate the excessive heat produced by the powerful engine over fast speeds and is necessary for maintaining the long life of these vehicles.
Moreover, regulatory bodies like American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) have established standards, such as D1384 for corrosion protection in coolants and antifreeze, which has led to introduction of bio-based products in automotive antifreeze market. In addition, with the ease in availability of materials like ethylene glycol and glycerine, new companies are emerging as potential sellers of automobile antifreeze solutions, thereby further bolstering the market’s growth.

The EMR’s report titled “Automotive Antifreeze Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Fluid Type
Market Breakup by Technology
Market Breakup by Application
Market Breakup by Distribution Channel
Market Breakup by Region
Ethylene glycol segment dominates due to its various properties and low cost
The ethylene glycol segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period because ethylene glycol is the most common antifreeze used in vehicles. It is a mixture of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water, which provides excellent temperature stability, high boiling point, low freezing point, and good thermal conductivity and specific heat. This makes it the most economical antifreeze available today, which contributes to its dominant market share.
As per automotive antifreeze market analysis, the propylene glycol segment is growing at a slower rate than ethylene glycol due to its higher cost. However, propylene glycol is less toxic than ethylene glycol and is used in antifreeze solutions that are safer for the environment. It is also used in some diesel applications that require nitrate-free HD OAT coolant.
The glycerin segment is also witnessing growth as glycerin is a byproduct of biodiesel production and is used as a base fluid in some antifreeze coolants. However, its use is limited due to its higher cost and lower thermal conductivity but is gaining popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional antifreeze fluids.
Inorganic additive technology is widely used in development of coolants as it aids in longer shelf life of engines by preventing corrosion
The inorganic additive technology (IAT) segment dominates the market due to its widespread use in traditional antifreeze coolants. IAT coolants use mineral or inorganic inhibitors such as phosphate, borate, silicate, nitrite, and nitrate to prevent corrosion and provide freeze and boil protection. These coolants are widely used in automotive and industrial applications due to their excellent heat transfer properties and low cost.
However, the organic acid technology (OAT) segment is expected to hold the largest automotive antifreeze market share due to its growing popularity and increasing adoption in the automotive industry. OAT coolants use organic corrosion inhibitors such as carboxylates to prevent corrosion and provide freeze and boil protection. These coolants are gaining popularity due to their non-toxic nature, biodegradable properties, and ability to meet stringent environmental regulations. The use of OAT coolants is becoming more widespread as manufacturers seek to reduce their environmental impact and comply with regulations.
Market players are focused on innovation and development of products to gain wider consumer confidence and maintain their edge over competitors
