Latin America Antifreeze Market Size, Share, Research: By Product: Ethylene Glycol Based, Propylene Glycol Based, Glycerine Based, Others; By Technology: Organic Acid Technology Antifreeze (OAT), Others; By Application; Regional Analysis; Market Dynamics; Competitive Landscape; Key Trends and Developments in the Market; 2024-2032

Latin America Antifreeze Market Outlook

The Latin America antifreeze market size was around USD 805.3 million in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during 2024-2032 to reach a value of USD 1,247.7 million by 2032.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Rising eco-consciousness is enhancing the demand for eco-friendly antifreeze produced from sustainable feedstocks that are recyclable.
  • In 2022, the air conditioner demand in Latin America reached about 7.02 million units, driving the demand for antifreeze for heat transfer and cooling applications.
  • In 2022, Latin America attracted nearly USD 100 billion in FDI project announcements, with the automotive sector representing 13%, led by the hydrocarbons sector (24%), thereby widening antifreeze applications.

 

In the automotive sector, a mixture of antifreeze and water serves as a coolant to prevent overheating of engines by raising the boiling point of the water-based liquid in the engine. The demand for antifreeze is rising along with the sales and manufacture of passenger cars. Antifreeze is a component of the engine coolant and is crucial to maintain the ideal temperature inside the engine of a vehicle. It reduces the excess heat produced while the automobile is running and prevents serious damage to its internal components.

 

The number of air passengers flying to, from, and within Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is rising from a critical COVID-19-induced drop in 2020. The rise in air travel aids the demand for antifreeze for aircraft de-icing and lavatory fluids. From January to November 2023, the total number of passengers travelling to and from the region reached 410.5 million, a rise of 13.9% y-o-y, highlighting a positive trend of recovery and expansion in the sector.

Apr 2022 ExxonMobil ExxonMobil launched two new antifreeze products namely Mobil Delvac Modern Extended Life and Mobil Delvac Legend Heavy Duty for commercial vehicles in Mexico.

 

 

Trends Impact
Rising number of commercial vehicles and growing automobile sector support antifreeze demand In Latin America, the commercial vehicle market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years, propelled by key factors such as substantial infrastructure investment, ongoing mining development, increased export activities, and the implementation of multimodal transportation projects. Increasing number of commercial vehicles on road favours the Latin America antifreeze market.
Demand for antifreeze for aerospace applications The enhancement of air travel infrastructure in Latin America is fostering increased connectivity between regional destinations, facilitating domestic tourism and promoting multi-destination travel. This contributes to the demand for antifreeze for aerospace applications.
Preference for eco-friendly antifreeze The introduction of ECO2 represents a non-toxic, fully inhibited heat transfer fluid with antifreeze capabilities derived from refined vegetable extracts.
Favourable temperatures in Latin America Several nations, including Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, feature extensive high-altitude regions in the Andes mountains. In these areas, colder temperatures and even snowfall are common, necessitating the use of antifreeze for proper vehicle functioning.

 

Latin America Antifreeze Market Trends

Rising environmental consciousness is increasing the demand for eco-friendly products. Manufacturers can capitalise on this opportunity by substituting petroleum feedstocks with sustainably harvested renewable and biological feedstocks. Additionally, they can manufacture products free of persistent synthetic compounds, such as additives.

 

With the number of vehicles in operation rising, there is a greater demand for tires, spare parts, and car chemicals, including antifreeze. In Mexico, there are around 34 million units in operation and the average age of vehicles is 16.1 years. The average vehicle age has continued to grow in Latin America and some vehicles are the oldest globally, which adds to the demand for car chemicals like antifreeze.

 

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Latin American aviation sector is expected to grow by 4.5% per year by 2034. Antifreeze finds use in the de-icing of aircraft during the flight. It also finds use for lavatory anti-freezing applications in aircraft lavatory fluids.

Market Segmentation

“Latin America Antifreeze Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:

 

Market Breakup Categories
Product Ethylene Glycol Based, Propylene Glycol Based, Glycerine Based, Others
Technology Organic Acid Technology Antifreeze (OAT), Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT), Inorganic Acid Technology Antifreeze (IAT)
Application Automobile, Heat Transfer and Cooling System, Aerospace, Others
Region Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Others

 

Based on application, automobiles dominate the Latin America antifreeze market share, as the chemical is crucial for maintaining the ideal temperature inside a vehicle’s engine

In 2020, Latin American countries constituted 7% of the global new vehicle sales, showcasing one of the highest motorization growth rates globally. As of the year-end 2022, Latin America boasted 128 million cars and light trucks, with Brazil leading the Vehicles in Operation (VIO) count at 44 million. Mexico follows with 32 million, and Argentina has 14 million units.

 

Latin America witnessed the second-fastest global recovery in passenger air traffic, rebounding strongly from the COVID-19 pandemic with June 2022 figures just 14% below pre-crisis levels. The region's robust recovery is attributed to large domestic markets and fewer travel restrictions, outpacing the overall market growth.

 

With rising power densities in electronic systems, liquid cooling solutions gain traction for enhanced thermal management. The solutions, employing optimal cooling fluids, improve accuracy, performance, and safety while reducing downtime and maintenance costs, meeting environmental compliance standards in diverse applications such as R&D labs and diagnostic facilities.

 

Based on products, ethylene glycol holds a significant share of the Latin America antifreeze market

Ethylene glycol is considered a key ingredient for low-temperature hydronic systems where chillers and air handling units (AHUs) operate outdoors, or when equipment plays a vital role in low-temperature processes. The inclusion of ethylene glycol helps in reducing water’s freezing temperature, further enabling the lowering of operation temperature. Propylene glycol is being widely adopted to remove ice and other contaminants from aeroplanes in addition to its use as an ingredient in antifreeze products sold in supermarkets and garages.
