Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/07/2016 -- Transparency Market Research (TMR) has announced the release of a new report added to its market intelligence catalog on the chemical and materials sector. The report examines the global refinery catalysts market and presents actionable insights into the market's expected trajectory in the coming years. The report is titled 'Refinery Catalyst Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2012 - 2018' and is available for sale on the official website of TMR.According to the report, the global market for refinery catalysts is expected to exhibit a steady 3.9% CAGR from 2012 to 2018. The market was valued at US$19.2 bn in 2011 and is likely to rise to a valuation of US$24.1 bn by 2018.

Catalysts are substances added to a chemical reaction to alter the rate at which the reaction takes place. Catalysts can either speed up or slow down the reaction, with former being known as positive catalysts and the latter as inhibitors. The unique role of catalysts in a chemical reaction is that they don't participate in the reaction, but bring about conditions that alter the rate of the reaction.
