The growing number of Stringent regulations for vehicle emissions across the world is driving the overall refinery catalysts market.

The global refinery catalysts market size is expected to grow from USD 4.0 billion in 2020 and USD 4.7 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period. Emissions that are released into the environment from automobiles and industrial processing units have been harming the environment significantly. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a typical vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of CO2 per year. Therefore, increasingly stringent regulations, are driving the refinery catalyst market.

Demand for fuel with high octane number leads to a growing demand for refinery catalysts.

The quality of fuel is directly proportional to its octane number. High-octane fuel generates more energy from the same amount of fuel. At the same time, it also prevents the wear and tear of the engine. The market is now witnessing an intense demand for high-quality fuels that increase the life of the machines and vehicles in which they are being used. Refinery catalysts help obtain fuels with higher octane ratings as these catalysts can operate at variable temperatures and can increase activity rates even if used in small quantities. This factor has paved the path for the growth of the refinery catalysts market.

Hydrocracking catalysts to register the fastest growth during the forecast period.

The objective of hydrocracking catalysts is to convert heavy oil feedstock into high quality, lighter fuel products such as naphtha, gasoline, jet fuel or kerosene, and diesel, and hydro wax, which can be used as a petrochemical plant lube basestock or feedstock. Rising demand for petroleum derivatives and stringent regulations focusing on the use of ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) are expected to drive the market for hydrocracking catalysts.

APAC to dominate the refinery catalysts market during the forecast period.

APAC to dominate the refinery catalysts market during the forecast period.

Refining catalysts are used to refine crude oil. Shale oils nowadays are becoming a major feed source for large number of refineries. While these feedstock are generally sweet and light, issues the refiners are facing when processing tight oil include: contaminant metals, configurational imbalances and heat balance effects, in the refinery. The refiners can now apply new catalyst technologies to maximize the value present in tight oil feedstock. Refinery catalysts play a vital role in helping refiners meet fuel standards, better managing operational efficiency, enhancing conversion and selectivity, and in keeping pace with the changing clean fuel trends. New levels of flexibility are required in refinery processes as products demand change and the availability of specific crudes is altered. As petroleum is predicted to remain the most important single resource for transportation by 2050, the development of new refinery technologies and catalysts is expected to be of utmost importance in the coming future.

The refinery catalysts comprises following subgroups:

  • FCC
  • Hydrotreating
  • Hydrocracking
  • Alkylation
  • Others

The FCC catalysts play a very important role in conversion of heavy atmospheric residues and vacuum distillates into fractions of motor fuels, mainly gasoline. Hydrotreating catalysts are used in petroleum refining in order to remove contaminants such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and metals from liquid petroleum fractions. The objective of hydrocracking catalysts is to convert heavy oil feedstock into high-quality, lighter fuel products such as naphtha, gasoline, jet or kerosene, and diesel, and hydrowax which can be used as petrochemical plant lube basestock or feedstock.

The global market for refinery catalysts has witnessed a decent growth in the last five years. This growth can be attributed to surging demand for energy and growing refinery capacities. The global refinery catalysts market which majorly includes fluid catalytic cracking catalysts and hydroprocessing catalysts has witnessed high growth in last five years. This market is projected to reach XX KT by 2019, at a CAGR of XX% between 2014 and 2019. North America accounts for the major share in overall refinery catalysts due to huge refinery capacities and increasing energy demand in the region.

Some of the drivers identified for the industry are stringent environmental regulations, rising consumption of petroleum-based derivatives, and demand for maintaining high octane number. The restraining factors are identified as diminishing crude oil reserves, and high cost of production. Backward integration by refinery catalysts manufacturers can serve as an opportunity during the forecast period.
