Catalyst Market

Market Overview:

The global catalyst market size reached US$ 38.2 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 50.2 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.51% during 2023-2028.

Catalysts are substances that are deployed in small quantities to alter and stimulate the speed of chemical reactions by lowering and raising the activation energy required for the procedure. They can be reused post-treatment and do not undergo any thermodynamic changes during reactions. Catalysts assists in transforming raw materials into various useful manufactured products, enhancing air quality by controlling emissions, developing catalytic solutions to exchange chlorine-based intermediate for chemical synthesis, mitigating volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and removing massive waste compounds. Based on these properties, they find extensive applications in chemical synthesis, petroleum refining, petrochemical formulation, and polymer catalysis. At present, they are mainly available in zeolites, metals, chemical compounds, enzymes, and organometallic material types.

Catalyst Market Trends:

The rapid expansion in the chemical and polymer manufacturing sectors and the ongoing establishment of petrol refining capacities have facilitated the widespread adoption of catalysts for chemical process optimization and improved product yield. This represents the major factor driving the market growth. In line with this, the implementation of green initiatives by governments, owing to rising environmental concerns, has prompted original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to incorporate multiple catalysts, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium in automobiles, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. These solutions assist in mitigating nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and carbon emissions. Additionally, the extensive utilization of catalysts to convert bio-derived feedstock into industry-relevant chemicals is supplementing the product demand. Moreover, the increasing refining of methanol and polyolefins and the escalating need for petroleum-based products has intensified the uptake of industrial catalyst to design petroleum-based consumer goods, which is propelling the market growth. Apart from this, the extensive product employment to produce biochemicals and significant investments in research and development (R&D) activities to enhance catalyst efficiency are positively augmenting the market growth.
