Their ability to provide better performance in industrial and organic reactions as compared to their heterogeneous alternatives is another factor anticipated to drive the demand for the product over the forecast period. However, these catalytic reactions create huge amounts of toxic waste, causing environmental hazards. This has led to increase in production of biodegradable homogeneous catalysts such as methane sulfonic acid (MSA) to cater to the demand. Homogeneous catalysts are compounds that are used to accelerate chemical reactions by reducing the activation energy required to initiate a reaction. They are majorly used for the esterification of carboxylic acids, which is likely to create a stable demand for the product. In addition, the growing popularity of organometallic compounds for the production of polyethylene and polypropylene is further expected to fuel their demand in the near future.
Enzymes and biocatalysts, which are some popular types of homogeneous catalysts, are being increasingly deployed in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries on account of their longer shelf life and eco-friendly nature. Thus, all these factors are anticipated to contribute to the product demand over the forecast period.
The U.S. is a major consumer of the product in North America with revenue share of 80.5% in 2022. This growth is attributed to the expanding end-use industries, including chemical, refinery, and petrochemical. According to the American Chemistry Council, the chemical trade in the U.S. witnessed a growth of around 22.0%, accounting to USD 342.0 billion in 2022. Moreover, the growing gasoline demand in the U.S. is anticipated to contribute to the significance of hydrocracking and FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking) activities intended for transforming heavy crude oil to light cuts, thereafter, influencing the overall catalyst market on a positive note.
