Catalyst Market Likely To Touch At $48.0 Billion By 2027: Grand View Research Inc.

 

The global catalyst market size is expected to reach USD 48.0 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 4.4%, as per a new report by Grand View Research Inc. Increasing the manufacturing of polymers is projected to play a vital role in the growth of the market. In addition, the presence of regulations supporting the manufacturing and use of catalysts is expected to augment market growth over the next eight years.

With catalysts being prominently used for applications including chemical synthesis, petroleum refining, polymers, and environmental (which includes emission control catalysts amongst others. The beleaguered automotive and construction industry continues to grapple with subdued demand which in turn will directly impact the demand for catalysts. China holds a noteworthy share in automotive production, the factory closures, and shutdown of all related activities has in turn significantly impacted the catalyst demand. There has also been a decline in demand for polymers due to the shutdown of construction sites and a decline in construction spending at least till the end of Q2. The updated report will account for COVID-19 as a key market contributor.

Catalysts are increasingly being used to reduce the processing time of crude oil refining along with improving refining equipment efficiency. Favorable environmental regulations regarding the non-harmful effects of catalysts in various industries have been driving the market over the past few years. The European Catalyst Manufacturers Association (ECMA) promotes the use of catalysts in various industries in order to cut down emissions and reduce pollution. Additionally, the introduction of biocatalysts is expected to open new avenues for the market over the forecast period.

Prominent growth in the market is likely to be witnessed in North America, Europe, and Japan on account of low sulfur mandates. However, emerging markets of Asia Pacific countries such as China and India are expected to project strongest growth for chemical synthesis and polymers and petrochemical catalysts. Petroleum refining catalysts remain a highly attractive segment, especially in oil and gas dominant countries such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait.

Catalyst Market Report Highlights

·         Chemical compounds was the largest raw material segment with a value of USD 13.8 billion in 2020 for being more economical and providing ease of applications

·         Chemical synthesis is likely to remain as the prominent application segment with a value share of 31.1% in 2020

·         Polymers and petrochemicals application likely to witness a revenue-based CAGR of 4.5% between 2020 and 2027 as a consequence of manufacturing process optimization via catalyst adoption

·         Heterogeneous was the largest product segment in 2020 with a value share of 72.9% supported by their benefits such as optimum results and easier separation from substrates

·         In 2020, Asia Pacific emerged as the largest regional market for catalysts in terms of value holding a share of 33.7%, supported by the manufacturing hubs in countries such as China

Declining crude oil demand in addition to trade halts, supply chain disruptions, and industrial shutdowns caused by the impact of COVID-19 in some of the major economies such as the U.S., Iran, India, U.K., Germany, Italy, and China are likely to challenge market growth in 2020.

The market is highly influenced by dominated suppliers such as Albemarle Corporation and Royal Dutch Shell PLC. The major players dominate the market with a substantial presence throughout the value chain. This offers companies with benefits starting from the procurement of raw materials to the manufacturing of the final product, thus, sustaining the economies of scale to the finest level.

With the unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19, which has led to the closure of factories and manufacturing sites, there has been a significant decline in demand for oil, first such instance in a decade. Additionally, the price war between Russia and KSA has led to much decline in oil prices.

Global fuel demand is expected to drop by 15-10% in Q2, 2020 due to halt in air travel and national lockdowns. A number of plants have been shut down and some are running but at reduced rates which may thus impact the market demand especially in Iran, the U.S., China, India, France, Italy, and the U.K., that are some of the worst-hit economies.
