Refinery Catalyst Market Analysis
The refinery catalyst market is set to witness a spend growth of more than USD 1 billion with spend momentum to accelerate at a CAGR of over 3% between 2019-2024. Out of the types of refinery catalysts, the chemical compounds will account for the maximum usage owing to the growing popularity of organometallic compounds used for manufacturing polyethylene and polypropylene. Zeolite, a refinery catalyst type, is the most extensively utilized material that are essential in refining and petrochemical applications and will be used in abundance in the near future.
Top Spending Regions in the Refinery Catalyst Market
North America and APAC will dominate the refinery catalyst market in terms of spend share and will observe a sustained spend growth of the refinery catalyst market through the forecast period.
North America
Stakeholders in the North American refineries are focusing on making advances in drilling technologies which is enabling them to reduce the cost of extraction and increase their drilling efficiency. This is motivating the refineries to expand their production capacities to meet the growing regional and global demands for natural gas and low-cost liquid fuels, predominantly from the transport and manufacturing industries. This expansion of refining capacity is expected to lead to an increase in demand for refinery catalysts.
APAC
An increase in refinery capacity in countries such as China and India to meet the demand for transportation fuel from countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia are expected to trigger the growth of the refinery catalyst market in APAC. An increase in demand for jet fuel from the aviation industry due to improving air connectivity to domestic and international destinations from APAC countries, low fares as a result of increasing competition among airlines, and growing business activities will contribute to the growth of the refinery catalyst market in APAC during the forecast period.
