India Automotive Airfilters Market Size (2024 - 2029)

India Automotive Airfilters Market Analysis

The India Automotive Airfilters Market size is estimated at USD 2.13 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.78 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The market for automotive air filters in India is driven by technological advancements, the growing demand for vehicles offering superior performance and fuel efficiency, and elevated sustainability standards related to rising air pollution norms.

According to SIAM India, passenger vehicle production in India stood at 4.58 million units in 2023, compared to 3.65 million in year 2022.

There was a slowdown in automobile sales and production because of the trade tensions between two major economies of the world, China and the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic was also responsible for the slowdown in the economy for almost three months. However, the market rebounded and resumed its growth as the governments provided stimulus to the demand as well as the supply side to revive the economy.

Governments and regulatory bodies in India are becoming more stringent with their vehicle emission standards and fuel economy regulations. This means that vehicles are required to emit fewer pollutants and be more fuel-efficient. As a result of these stricter regulations, there is a growing need for advanced automotive filters.

Moreover, regulatory initiatives aimed at promoting fuel efficiency and reducing emissions are also influencing the adoption of automotive airfilters in India. Stringent emission norms, such as Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI), have prompted the key players to explore advanced airfilter technologies to meet regulatory requirements while delivering enhanced performance and fuel efficiency.

Hence, as automakers continue to invest in research and development and expand their airfilter product offerings, the market is expected to witness a surge in demand during the forecast period (2024-2029).
