Market Definition
Catalyst is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a high rate or under different conditions, such as s at a lower temperature. This generally increases the rate of reaction. For instance, nickel is used in the hydrogenation process and iron is used in the Haber process.
Global Catalyst Market Dynamics
Drivers
- High demand in the petrochemical industry
Increase the demand for catalysts from petrochemical industries due to the rapid growth of the petrochemical industry. The petrochemical industry has generated high demand for catalysts for manufacturing several gases and chemicals. A growth in the refineries is increasing the demand for high-performance catalysts, which is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
- Increasing demand of catalyst in chemical industries
Catalysts are primarily used for chemical synthesis in the chemical industry. The catalyst is used in cracking feedstock components in the refining of petroleum to increase the yield of high-quality products. The application of a catalyst stimulates the optimization of hydrocracking reactions with energy-saving and cost-saving benefits. This factor has favored the growth of the catalyst market in petroleum refining applications.
- Huge demand of platinum metal catalyst
In petroleum refining, platinum catalyst-based reforming procedures are increasingly used and build importance in refining. They significantly increase the octane rating of naphthas and it is more cost-effective than any other reforming technique for producing high-octane gasoline. Platinum catalyst is now a critical constituent in the manufacture of high-octane gasoline for piston-engine aircraft and automobiles. Moreover, catalytically reforming petroleum naphthas by using platinum catalyst produces toluene, benzene, and xylenes, which account for a significant growth in the catalyst market.
Opportunities
- Growing demand of palladium based emission control catalyst
Palladium is being extensively used as an oxidation catalyst in the gasoline auto catalysts (petrol-based engines) of diesel engines due to its ability to maintain suitable performance at sustained temperatures for a lifetime. The emission control catalysts comprising equivalent ratios of palladium and platinum are being launched to improve catalytic converters' quality and curb the growing emissions. The growing demand for palladium-based emission control catalysts coupled with its relatively low price is expected to increase the demand for palladium-based emission control catalysts and create immense opportunities for the targeted market growth during the forecast period.
