Sellbyville, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/22/2019 -- Refinery Catalyst Market share to be beyond USD 4 billion in 2017 and is predicted to grow at over 3% CAGR from 2018 to 2025. Increasing demand for reformulated gasoline has played a significant role in strengthening the refinery catalyst market, with stringent emission control regulations and environmental laws being implemented. Blended on the chemical level to burn more cleanly and efficiently than conventional fuels, reformulated gasoline is attributed with the benefit of reducing toxic pollutants and smog-formation in our air.

The refinery catalyst industry is gradually aligning with the increased petroleum production resulting from the resurgence of oil & gas industry, in the process of stabilizing after a tremendous downfall earlier in the decade. With an attempt by major refineries worldwide to comply with fuel standards, achieve operational efficiency and enhance the fuel output with minimum emissions, the refinery catalyst market can soon be expected to achieve escalated consumption rates.

The development of unconventional oil reserves will provide a lucrative growth to the global refinery catalyst market over the forecast spell. For instance, the processing of shale oil in North America will propel the product growth owing to the large amount of metal contaminants and heat balance issues. The refinery catalysts provide optimum butylene selectivity, maximum conversion and selectivity on light feeds and metals tolerance ability, which will spur the product market during the forecast time period.

A key incentive towards the growth of the refinery catalyst industry is a global population that is multiplying exponentially, impelling the fuel demand for use in transportation & industrial power generation. Reportedly, the transportation sector, comprising of automobile, aviation and marine is responsible for more than 60% of the total fuel utilization. Considering the prediction by the United Nations that indicates reaching a global population of over 9.8 billion by the year 2050, one can only surmise the amount of resources that will be required to support the extensive energy needs of the future.

With China and India being the most populated nations, the Asia-Pacific refinery catalyst market apportioned for over 30% of the overall industry owing to the cumulative reformulated fuel consumption. As these two countries are expected to remain the top two inhabited nations going forward as well and are introducing tighter legislations to curb emissions, the Asia-Pacific belt is slated to contribute enormously to the refinery catalyst market.

Asia Pacific has been the most significant automotive market with high production as well as demand. Unceasingly rising living standards and GDP growth coupled with the increasing number of people residing in the high and middle-income groups in the Asia Pacific region will fuel the refinery catalyst market demand. China, India, Japan, and South Korea accounted close to 40% of the global automotive sales in 2017, including both commercial as well as personal vehicles and this is likely to increase in the coming years. This will result in increase in consumption of diesel and petrol. Such trends are predicted to further fuel the refinery catalyst market over the forecast timeframe.

Saudi Arabia refinery catalyst market will generate revenue over USD 135 million in 2025 as the country is the largest producer of petroleum products in Middle East and Africa region, contributing to nearly 90 million tons per annum. In 2018, Saudi Aramco, the state oil company of Saudi Arabia, and Total signed an agreement for the expansion of their joint venture refinery SATORP in Saudi Arabia. This will increase the refinery catalyst demand in this region in coming years.

Another instance that envisions a growing refinery catalyst market is the cooperative venture between Indian Oil Company and Saudi Aramco, recently joined by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) which will buy 50% of Aramco's share in the venture. The project is aimed at building a USD 44 billion refinery and petrochemical complex in the coastal city of Ratnagiri, India. The refinery is a part of the country's target to achieve a refining capacity of over 9 million barrels by the end of 2030. Similar expansions can be observed across other Asian countries, where oil companies are working to cater the pumped up demand for fuel and also adhere to the environmental mandates, boosting the worldwide refinery catalyst market.

Increasing investment by the refiners towards expansion and upgradation of refineries to meet the emission regulation and sulfur content will positively affect the refinery catalyst market size in upcoming years. These products are used for various processes including reforming, catalytic cracking, isomerization, desulfurization, hyroprocessing, etc. Increasing sour crude oil will augment the refinery catalyst market owing to more contaminants and heavy crude oil distillation, which necessitate the product demand.

Refinery catalyst market has been fragmented on the basis of type, material and region. The different product types include fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), alkylation, reforming & isomerization, hydro processing, and others. Among all, FCC product will hold nearly one-third of the total product market throughout the forecast span. FCC product break heavy gas oil range feeds into smaller molecules in the presence of heat. It is used for the production of gasoline in refining process. Majorly used material for FCC product is zeolite with some amount of rare earth metals.

Based on materials, the product industry is classified into zeolite, metal, chemical compound and others. Metal based catalysts will account for over 35% of the global refinery catalyst market in 2025. Molybdenum, vanadium, nickel, cobalt and other noble and rare earth metals are among the metals used for metal-based refinery catalysts. These are majorly used in hydroprocessing catalysts as these are useful to eradicate impurities and reduce the emission of toxic and hazardous gas into the environment.
Key players in the refinery catalyst industry which holds the major market chunk include Shell, Criterion Catalysts & Technologies, China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), Haldor Topsoe, Johnson Matthey, BASF, Albemarle, and Honeywell Uop.
