Innovation Seen as Key to Survival in Automotive Catalytic Converter Market Globally

A catalytic converter is an emission controlling device that helps in removing major harmful compounds, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbons, from the exhaust system of a vehicle. Carbon monoxide is formed by the combustion of gasoline, whereas nitrogen oxides are formed when the heat in the engine induces nitrogen to diffuse with oxygen. Hydrocarbons are the unused gasoline present in the automobiles. On the basis of material, the global automotive catalytic converter market can be categorized into: Rhodium, palladium, and platinum.

The job of a catalytic converter is to aid pollution removal by converting harmful gases into less toxic ones in a vehicle’s exhaust system. In view of their pollution-control function, catalytic converters are commonly used in the exhaust systems of cars, trucks, mining equipment, motorcycles, locomotives, forklifts, buses, generator sets, engine-fitted devices, and airplanes. They are also used in wood stoves so as to control emissions.
