Market Introduction
Antifreeze is an essential engine coolant that helps regulate temperatures in cars. It also helps to prevent corrosion in engines. Antifreeze is always colored; however, the hue changes from one product to another. Vehicles use a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water. Some antifreeze is pre-mixed and already contains the necessary water. Antifreeze may also contain additives such as silicates, nitrates, azoles, or borates to prevent oxidation and corrosion.
Market Overview and Dynamics
Europe and Middle East & Africa antifreeze market size was valued at US$ 1,712.49 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 2,327.46 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2028.
The growing construction activities and sales of construction equipment is driving the Europe and Middle East & Africa antifreeze market. In construction equipment, antifreeze agents are used to prevent freezing. Another benefit of antifreeze is in cement, as it allows the operation below the freezing point. The booming infrastructure projects and rising use of heavy-duty excavators and other machinery for building dams and highways are fueling the demand for antifreeze in construction equipment. In Europe and the Middle East & Africa, the government and private sectors are making huge investments in the construction of new residential and commercial buildings, which is supporting the construction industry. The increasing urbanization in the Middle East & Africa is creating a huge demand for residential infrastructure, contributing to the construction equipment market growth.
