Refinery Catalyst Market Size & Forecast Report, 2012 - 2022

The global Refinery Catalyst Market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. With the current reforms in policies for Greenhouse Gases (GHG), in particular carbon dioxide, there has been a constant rise in demand for petrochemical products. The market witnesses a rise in use of production of eco-friendly fuels and highly purified petrochemicals enable the need for enhanced refinery in catalysts and processes. In the near future, there will be a strong need for catalytic materials for integration of catalysis and reaction engineering.

The drivers to refinery catalysts market include increase in demand for fuel plants and octane fuel. Rise in industrialization, globalization and number of vehicles is likely to demand gasoline and clean fuel. Subsequently, the demand for low sulphur diesel is bolstering the market growth and rise in use of petroleum feedstock is creating lucrative opportunities for market growth during the forecast period. Flexibility in environmental regulatory policies and fuel processing policies have enlarged the market scope

Material segment for refinery catalyst market includes zeolites, metals and chemical compounds. Zeolites include synthetic zeolite and natural zeolite. Metals category include precious metals, transition and base metals, rare earth metals and chemical compounds.
