What's driving the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Market Growth?
The global diesel exhaust fluid market was valued at USD 35.3 Bn in 2021. The market is projected to grow USD 53.5 Bn in 2030, at a CAGR of 6.5%. DEF is a mixture of 32.5 percent urea and 67.5 percent deionized water that is odorless, colorless, and non-flammable. The standardized AUS 32 form is used as a consumable in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to reduce the concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in diesel exhaust emissions from diesel engines. Inside the exhaust pipe, DEF vaporizes and decomposes into ammonia and carbon dioxide, which react with oxygen and harmful nitrogen oxides in the vehicle's selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst. As a result, nitrogen, water vapor, and carbon dioxide are produced. Because DEF's shelf life is closely proportional to its storage temperature, specific storage containers constructed of polyethylene plastic or stainless steel are employed to maintain its purity. The International Organization for Standardization has standardi
