Over the past few years, air pollution has reached alarming levels which are proving hazardous to human health and the environment alike. Vehicle emissions are a major contributor to these levels. This factor has forced governments across the globe to opt for strict emission regulations regarding automotive filters, which are expected to favor market growth.
Distributors play a critical role in streamlining the value chain operations for various industry participants. Companies such as ACDelco Inc., Ahlstrom, Clarcor Inc., and Hengst SE & Co. KG are integrated across the value chain. However, they depend on distributors for their sales operations. The industry illustrates integration among the raw materials suppliers; automotive air filter producers, and distributors. Distributors act as the key link between the product manufacturers and the automotive sectors and require air filters for passenger cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles, and two-wheelers.

Major players have introduced products that are good absorbent and have enhanced lifecycles. The players have wide-ranged product portfolios along with established distribution networks across the globe.
