Increasing energy consumption
The rapidly increasing demand for gasoline and diesel has increased the requirement of raw materials for their production. However, the limited supply of raw materials increases the overall cost of production. This factor has attracted manufacturers toward refinery catalysts, as they help extract relatively more diesel and gasoline from the same amount of crude oil. Thus, the refinery catalysts market is improved by the fact that the efficient use of catalysts can help the manufacturers better address the increasing energy demand. Due to this, the refinery catalysts manufacturers are now increasing their production capacities to cater to the rising demand for refinery catalysts..

The refinery catalyst market is projected to reach USD 7.98 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2017 to 2022. The growth of this market can be attributed to the rising demand for petroleum derivatives. In addition, increasing energy consumption is also anticipated to drive the growth of the refinery catalyst market.
Based on ingredient, the metals segment accounted for the largest share of the refinery catalyst market in 2016. This growth can be attributed to the increasing use of metals for hydrocracking and hydrotreating to remove unwanted impurities and emission of harmful gases into the environment. Stringent environmental regulations formulated to reduce air pollution by decreasing the sulfur content in gasoline and ultra-low sulfur content in diesel are further anticipated to propel the demand for metals in the refinery catalyst market.
Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and the Middle East & Africa are key regions considered for market analysis in the report. Currently, Asia Pacific is the largest market for refinery catalysts. This market in the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022, in terms of value and volume. The increasing demand for transportation fuels from emerging countries in the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to drive the growth of the refinery catalyst market.
Refinery catalysts are used for different processes such as FCC, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming. The FCC catalysts segment is the largest type segment of the refinery catalyst market.
FCC Catalysts
FCC is a key conversion process of petroleum refining; FCC catalysts are most widely used in the refining process. It is composed of inorganic oxides and a mixture of crystalline, amorphous silica, and alumina, also known as zeolites. FCC catalysts utilize FCC additives to meet precise unit specifications such as low sulfur content, high octane number, low nitrogen oxide emissions, and low levels of carbon monoxide. FCC catalysts convert high boiling hydrocarbon feedstock into low boiling hydrocarbon with low average molecular weight, which is used as a transportation fuel
Hydrotreating Catalysts
Hydrotreating catalysts generally use tungsten, molybdenum sulfides, cobalt, zeolites, palladium, and platinum on alumina or carbon base to treat everything from gasoline to residual products. These catalysts help control and improve the operational efficiencies in the petroleum refining process.
Hydrocracking Catalysts
Hydrocracking catalysts aid hydrocracking, which is one of the most important processes in petroleum refining. Bi-functional hydrocracking catalysts such as silica and alumina combined with rare earth metals elevate the partial pressure of hydrogen, which in-turn helps eliminate sulfur and nitrogen from the stream of hydrocarbon feedstock.
High production cost and diminishing crude oil reserves are acting as key challenges to the growth of the refinery catalyst market. The cost of raw materials used to develop refinery catalysts is expected to rise, thereby affecting the demand for refinery catalysts to a significant extent. In addition, limited crude oil reserves affect the refinery catalyst industry, owing to the dependency on the production of energy from crude oil.
