Drivers

Increasing Use of E-Commerce Platforms by Leading Players

• Factors like ease of purchase or convenience, pricing and discounts on various products and services, and home delivery are the major reasons for increasing preference of e-commerce platforms globally. The e-commerce platforms have gained immense success, and consumers have also increased their expenditure on car care products to maintain the aesthetics of a vehicle. Therefore, many car care product manufacturers such as 3M, Illinois Tool Works, SONAX, and others have adopted this strategy to sell their car care products through online platforms and retail stores.

Rapid Advancement of Automotive Sector

• The rise in demand for car care products and the expansion of the automotive industry as a result of technological improvements is driving the expansion of the market. Car care supplies are essential to keep cars looking good and increase the vehicle's durability, gloss, and shine. The primary users of aesthetic goods are sports utility vehicles and luxury cars. For example, wax and polish in the automotive care materials are used for protecting and shining the vehicle. In order to maintain the car's exterior, protectants and cleansers are also used.

Restraints

High Risk of Substitute

• Many raw ingredients are necessary for producing car care products. The primary materials utilized to make waxes, polishes, and protectants include carnauba wax, silicone, and Teflon. Due to high manufacturing expenses and the accessibility of replacements, including beeswax, wood rosin, candelilla wax, and orange shellac, the carnauba wax market has only experienced modest growth in the last few years. These waxes are less expensive than carnauba wax and subject to fewer restrictions from regulatory agencies.

High Expense of Specialized Car Products

• One of the primary challenges that is creating hindrance in the growth of the market is the high cost of specialized car care products. This is restricting their adoption, particularly among price-sensitive consumers. Premium products, such as advanced coatings and high-performance cleaners, often come with a higher price tag, which makes them less accessible to a broader audience.
