Stringent regulations coupled with increasing demand for petroleum and petroleum-derived products/chemicals are likely to steer market growth. Refinery catalysts are used in the petroleum refining industry to enhance the operational efficiency of petroleum.
In addition, the increasing demand for high-octane fuel, particularly in countries such as the U.S., Japan, Germany, the UK, and India, due to stringent regulations, is expected to positively influence the growth of the market for refinery catalysts positively. Furthermore, the shift towards renewable energy sources has prompted oil refineries to optimize their operations and improve their efficiency, leading to an increased demand for advanced refinery catalysts. The market is also expected to benefit from the growing adoption of new and advanced technologies in the refining industry, which require specialized catalysts to ensure optimal performance.
Refinery catalysts are widely used to counter issues such as metal contamination and heat balance effects in tight oil processing. Increasing tight oil production in the U.S., Russia, China, and Argentina is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. Stringent government regulations, including those related to Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and strict emission standards in mature economies, are anticipated to remain the major factors steering demand for refinery catalysts in the petroleum refining sector. The availability of alternative fuels such as biofuel, coupled with the adoption of “Go Green” campaigns and environmental policies by several nations, is expected to restrain the market growth for refinery catalysts.
