정유용 촉매 시장 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 산업 동향 분석 및 예측(2024-2032년)

The Global Refinery Catalyst Market was valued at USD 5.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% from 2024 to 2032. This growth is primarily fueled by the rising demand for refined products, including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. As energy consumption escalates worldwide, refineries increasingly focus on enhancing production efficiency while adhering to stringent environmental regulations. This has led to a heightened demand for advanced catalysts vital for optimizing refinery operations. Catalysts facilitate the transformation of crude oil into valuable end products while minimizing harmful emissions.

Among these, hydroprocessing catalysts, especially those employed in desulfurization processes, are gaining traction due to tightening sulfur regulations globally. The market can be categorized by catalyst type into several segments: FCC catalyst, hydroprocessing catalyst, alkylation catalyst, reforming and isomerization catalyst, and others. The reforming and isomerization catalyst segment emerged as the largest, generating approximately USD 2 billion in revenue in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2032. These catalysts play a crucial role in improving fuel quality and refining processes. They enable the conversion of naphtha into high-octane gasoline components, essential for complying with strict fuel specifications and regulatory requirements.

When classified by material, the market includes zeolite, metal, chemical compounds, and others. The metal category holds a significant market share of 82.4%. Zeolite materials are particularly prevalent in the refinery catalyst market due to their unique structural attributes that enhance catalytic efficiency and selectivity across various refining applications. Their vast surface area and porous structure help the usage and conversion of hydrocarbons, making them unique for catalytic cracking and hydrocracking.

Additionally, zeolites demonstrate excellent thermal stability and resistance to poisoning, crucial for sustaining catalyst performance in demanding refining conditions. The ability to customize zeolite compositions for specific reactions further enables refiners to optimize processes, solidifying their position in the market. The U.S. refinery catalyst market was valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2023. The United States stands as a leader in the North American refinery catalyst sector, owing to its substantial refining capacity and advanced technological infrastructure. With one of the most sophisticated refining industries globally, U.S. refineries continually invest in upgrading their operations.

This commitment to modernization drives the demand for high-performance catalysts, particularly those designed to enhance efficiency and comply with stringent environmental standards. The presence of major oil companies and refiners in the U.S. fosters an innovative environment that supports the development of advanced catalytic solutions tailored to the complexities of refining operations.
