Fuel Analyzer Market

Fuel Analyzer Market Overview

The global fuel analyzer market is estimated to surpass a valuation US$ 850 Mn by the end of 2032. The sales of fuel analyzers are expected to top US$ 560 Mn by 2022, exhibit growth at a CAGR of 4% to 5% during the forecast period 2022-2032. Growing government emphasis on controlling and declining greenhouse gas emissions and surging demand for high-quality petroleum products is anticipated to favor the demand for fuel analyzers in the global market.

Fuel analysis is the process of testing and examining the fuel quality by measuring various parameters such as flash point, octane number, additive strength, cetane number, chemical composition, and others. This process plays a vital role in providing data essential to secure environment and regulatory compliance as well as to ensure the consistency of fuel quality and performance.

Fuel analyzers are equipments used to perform these processes for testing the quality of the fuel and identification of any adulterations. These equipments are garnering huge popularity across industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, aviation, and others, owing to their favorable attributes such as ability to gauge over 100 fuel parameters, provide quick results, details regarding adulterations, and others.

Driven by this, fuel analyzers are extensively being used to assess and measure gasoline, jet fuel, ethanol in gasoline, diesel, blending stream, ethanol purity, and fuel lubricity among others. This is projected to augment the demand for fuel analyzers in the global market.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading Fuel Analyzer Market Growth?

Fuel analyzers are finding a wide range of applications across diverse industries such as gas-station inspection, fuel quality testing, jet fuel analysis, fuel test in engine service, and others.

Growing usage of petroleum derivatives and high octane fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, and others across the automotive and industrial sectors is significantly increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide in the environment. According to a report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), every year, a typical automobile emits approximately 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Thus, governments worldwide are increasingly emphasizing on implementing new regulations and standards regarding fuel quality to decline air pollution and encourage industry players to increase the production of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD).

For instance, according to the American Petroleum Institute, the EPA announced issuing new regulations and standards mandating petroleum industry players to reduce the amount of sulfur in diesel to 15 parts per million (ppm) across the U.S. for declining greenhouse gas emission. As fuel analyzers are extensively used by petroleum manufacturers and regulatory authorities for assessing the quality and measuring the sulfur quantity in fuel, implementation of such novel standards are projected to create new growth avenues for the fuel analyzer market.

What are the Challenges Faced by the Fuel Analyzer Market?

With surging trend of electrification, growing fuel prices, and rising concerns pertaining to environmental sustainability, a rapid shift in customer preference towards adoption of electricity-based technologies such as electric vehicles, industrial equipments, and others is being witnessed. This is hindering the demand for petroleum products, which is in turn, restraining the sales of fuel analyzers in the market.

Also, high cost of fuel analyzers and need to keep a track of frequently changing fuel quality standards as per respective country is further hampering the growth in the market.

Why is North America Emerging as an Opportunistic Fuel Analyzer Market?

As per Future Market Insights, North America is estimated to account for the dominant share in the global fuel analyzer market between 2022 and 2032.

Due to growing concerns regarding growing carbon emissions, environmental authorities are increasingly implementing novel fuel regulations and standards across the countries such as the U.S. and Canada, fueling the demand for quality assessment equipments.

Hence, key players in the market are aiming at launching novel products to cater to this trend. For instance, in 2018, Phase Technologies, a Canadian manufacturer of testing instruments announced introducing its first 4-in-1 diesel fuel analyzer, DFA-70Xi, which can test density, viscosity, pour point, and cloud of diesel. A multiplicity of such new products launches are projected to spur the sales of fuel analyzers in the North America market.
