Fuel additives are chemicals that are used to enhance the properties of a fuel. These are mixed with fuels such as gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, fuel oil, and so on to improve fuel efficiency and economy. Fuel additives help fuels in meeting environmental emission control standards and improve engine or vehicle performance. Apart from these qualities, fuel additives serve other purposes such as reduction of corrosive effects, enhancement of combustion properties, and development of various grades of fuel blends required for the commercial, automotive, industrial, and aerospace sectors.
The global diesel fuel additives market is witnessing steady growth on account of increasing applications, technological advancements, and the growing demand from the end-user industries. Diesel additives are the largest application of fuel additives.
