The global catalyst market for energy applications is segmented by material into chemicals, zeolites, metals, and others, out of which, the zeolites segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the market during the forecast period as zeolites can withstand high temperatures and have large surface area for adsorption. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into refinery catalyst, gasification catalyst, and others. On the basis of application, the market is segmented into crude oil production, oil recycling, photovoltaic cells, energy conversion, environment protection and others, out of which, the crude oil production segment is estimated to garner significant share over the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for fossil fuels amongst the constantly rising population.
The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favorable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labour as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
Regionally, the global catalyst market for energy applications is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. The market in North America is estimated to garner largest share over the forecast period on the back of growing oil & gas industry in the region, coupled with the presence of major oil refining companies. Moreover, large number of refineries in the region is estimated to act as the major growth factor for the market. Canada is the 4th largest producer of crude oil, and holds over 10% of the world’s share for oil wells. On the other hand, the United States is one of the largest producers and exporters of refined petroleum products.
The market in the Asia Pacific region is estimated to witness highest CAGR over the forecast period increasing import of crude oil and presence of refineries in countries, such as, India, and China, is estimated to boost the market growth in the region.
