Key Refinery Catalyst Market Drivers

Refinery Catalyst Market is driven by growing demand for petroleum derived products around the world, increasing industrialization, strict regulations imposed by regional governments to reduce air pollution caused by internal combustion engine vehicles. To meet the regulatory compliances, manufacturers are adding better catalyst in their refining facilities to reduce pollutants caused by diesel and gasoline engines, which is expected to increase growth opportunities for Refinery Catalyst Market. Moreover, rising oil production across United States and Russia and increasing focus of major enterprises on expanding their catalyst production capacity, are further driving the growth of Refinery Catalyst Market. The crude oil production across United States is primarily driven by the development of tight oil resources, as per U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates, in 2021 almost 2.64 billion barrels of crude oil were produced, which was equivalent to 64% of total crude production in the country.

Over the years, surge in world’s population has significantly increased the daily average commute of passengers, which is boosting the demand for different modes of transportation. This increase in transportation is generating demand for efficient transportation fuels, which is accelerating the consumption of refinery catalyst in refinery industries. Additionally, developments in the petroleum industry have increased the application of refinery catalyst for dehydrogenation, amination, and hydration reactions etc., is further accelerating the market growth. Increasing investments by major companies on research and development, is driving the growth of Global Refinery Catalyst Market. However, growth of the Refinery Catalyst Market is hindered due to increasing availability of substitute fuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel.

Based on Material, Zeolites segment holds a major market share due to increasing demand for high-octane fluids.

Zeolites are gaining popularity in the Refinery Catalyst Market because these materials are available in abundance in the industrial sector. In addition, Zeolites are increasingly used for FCC catalysis process owing to its high-pressure resistance and high temperature resistance features, which is further contributing to the segment’s growth.

FCC Catalysts is dominating the market attributed to rising demand for gasoline as a fuel.

Fluid catalytic cracking utilizes heat and catalyst to break down big molecules of gas oil into smaller molecules. Companies are increasingly adding FCC units in their refineries to convert heavy and high boiling hydrocarbons to smaller fraction, which is one of the major factors pushing the segment’s growth.

Hydrocracking Catalysts are gaining traction in the market for converting heavy oil feedstock into high-quality and lighter fuel products such as gasoline, jet-fuels, and diesel. In addition, strict regulations imposed by governing bodies focusing on the use of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and increasing demand for petroleum products, are further contributing to the segment’s growth.
