Strategies implemented by Johnson Matthey for growth in Sustainable Aviation Fuel Market

Johnson Matthey is a global leader in sustainable technologies that leverage innovative science to create solutions that make a difference to the world. The company’s sustainable business framework is all about embedding the vision for a cleaner, healthier world through all aspects of its business and supply chains. The company operates through four business segments, namely, clean air, efficient natural resources, health, and new market.

With fluctuating economics for oil and greater impetus on more sustainable technologies and circular thinking, Johnson Matthey and BP saw a new application for FT technology by converting everyday household waste into high-grade aviation fuel. The upgraded technology consists of a novel reactor technology and a high activity catalyst at its core, which ensures that turning waste into jet fuel is a significant step toward sustainable aviation fuel production. The new process is three times more productive than traditional technology and requires only half the capital expenditure.

For maintaining its competitive position in the market, the company is continuously engaged in establishing manufacturing facilities to cater to the increasing demand for 3D printing ceramics from multiple end-use industries.

Strategies implemented by Johnson Matthey for growth in Emission Control Catalysts Market

Johnson Matthey is a specialty chemicals business group operating primarily in Europe, North America, and the APAC. The company is a leading manufacturer and technology provider of efficient ECC in the world. It operates through four business segments, clean air, efficient natural resources, new market, and health. It provides ECCs under the clean air business segment. The company manufactures catalysts for vehicle exhaust emission control and catalytic systems for the reduction of emissions from industrial processes. It focuses on the development of ECCs for automotive such as gasoline and diesel operated cars, bus, trucks, and other vehicles, and the energy generation segment with 15 dedicated manufacturing plants for ECCs. The company has a presence in more than 30 countries, with 43 manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, Africa, and the APAC.

STRATEGIC CHOICES MADE

The company has adopted various strategies to expand its ECC business across the globe. Its strategies majorly include new product launches, expansions, and acquisitions. The company has expanded its production capacity for ECC in recent years. The expansion will help the company to increase production and meet the requirements of China’s auto market. This will offer Johnson Matthey a competitive advantage over other players. However, the company has witnessed a sales decline of 7% in 2020 under the clean air segment primarily due to lower sales during the COVID-19 pandemic. But it has started recovering with an increase in sales by 16% as demand is increasing.

WEAKNESSES AND COMPETITIVE THREATS

Johnson Matthey is one of the leading players in the ECC market. However, the company is over-dependent upon the automotive catalyst. The other leading players such as BASF Catalyst, Umicore, and Cataler are involved in the production of stationary and automotive ECCs. As sustainability is a major challenge for most organizations, the company has to undertake efforts on the development of other types of ECCs.

KEY STRENGTHS/RIGHT TO WIN

Johnson Matthey has achieved technical, design, and development expertise in ECCs, precious metals, and fine chemicals. The company has a strong presence across Europe, North America, and is expanding in the APAC region. Johnson Matthey continues to invest in R&D to be a leader in the ECC market. It invested USD 221 million in 2020 for R&D to develop new technologies in the clean air segment. It has also invested significantly in manufacturing and expansions to meet the increasing demand for catalysts due to the stringent laws and legislations implemented by governments. In order to meet the increasing demand for ECC, the company is expanding its geographic reach through the acquisitions of local companies and the establishment of new plants in various regions.
