Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/21/2014 -- Automotive air filters are of two types: intake air filters and cabin air filters. As engine air filtration is important, most automobiles use intake air filters. They also fit easily in all types of automobiles. Cabin air filters are not pre-installed in all automobiles. They are, however, rapidly gaining preference because of the various benefits they provide (such as better mileage) and their functional performance. They are witnessing high market penetration in Japan, South Korea, and in countries in Western Europe. Other countries such as the US, China, Brazil, and Canada are also increasingly using cabin air filters.

Analysts forecast the Global Automotive Air Filters market will grow at a CAGR of 6.56 percent over the period 2013-2018. According to the report, the growth of the Global Automotive Air Filters market is driven by several factors, of which the need to reduce automobile emissions is a major one. A clogged air filter reduces the air flow to the engine, affecting the automobile's emission control system.
