The polymer market is highly fragmented and includes thermosets, thermoplastics, and elastomers. Growth in these individual markets is anticipated to boost the market for catalysts over the next eight years. The consistent rise in demand for polymers in various end-use industries, including the automotive and electrical & electronic industries, is anticipated to have the highest potential for growth of the catalyst market, as China is likely to fuel the demand for polypropylene and polyethylene due to low-cost labor, downstream processing capacity conditions, and government stimulus packages.
Moreover, stringent environmental regulations are a major disadvantage to the refining industry; however, they prove to be very advantageous to the refinery catalyst market. The use of “drop-in” catalysts is a preferred choice for existing refinery setups. Intensive R&D activities are being undertaken by catalyst manufacturers to keep pace with the rapidly expanding refinery industry.
The U.S. catalyst market is projected to grow at a significant rate on account of expanding end-use industries including chemical, refinery, and petrochemical. The growing gasoline demand in the U.S. is anticipated to contribute to the significance of hydrocracking and FCC activities intended for transforming heavy crude oil to light cuts, thereafter, influencing the catalyst market on a positive note.
