그린케미스트리용 불균일 촉매 시장 : 기회, 성장 촉진요인, 업계 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Heterogeneous Catalysts for Green Chemistry Market was valued at USD 4.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8% to reach USD 8.7 billion by 2034.

The growth is being driven by technological breakthroughs, regulatory pressures, and the rising focus on sustainable chemical processes. Advancements in computational modeling, high-throughput screening, and digital twin simulations are significantly shortening research cycles and enabling faster identification of high-performance catalysts. Meanwhile, regulations targeting sulfur and CO2 emissions in major regions like the European Union and China are encouraging refineries and chemical plants to invest in next-generation catalysts, even during periods of economic uncertainty. The industry is increasingly data-driven, combining in-situ spectroscopy with cloud analytics to accelerate concept-to-commercialization timelines. These trends are attracting new entrants with digital-first approaches, while established players are continuously upgrading processes to comply with evolving environmental standards.

The oxidation processes segment was valued at USD 1.1 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% from 2025 to 2034. Low-temperature electrified platforms are enabling decarbonization, with oxidation and hydrogenation reactions increasingly sharing water-electrolysis infrastructure, shifting operating costs from gas to renewable power. This is driving demand for cross-compatible heterogeneous catalysts that perform effectively under both chemical and electrochemical conditions.

The petrochemicals and refining segment was valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2024, accounting for a 31.3% share, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% during 2025-2034. Refining continues to consume the majority of heterogeneous catalyst volumes, with operations now processing alternative feedstocks and optimizing product yields to meet stringent sulfur regulations. Advanced catalyst formulations are helping refineries transform traditional operations into value-generating processes.

North America Heterogeneous Catalysts for Green Chemistry Market generated USD 1.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2034. Supportive policies, including incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, are driving investments in renewable-fuel and CO2-to-chemical projects. These programs create a steady demand for durable catalysts like Ag, CuZn, and NiFe produced by industry leaders such as Albemarle, Johnson Matthey, and emerging innovators. Multi-year service contracts bundling catalysts, digital twin technologies, and metal buy-back programs are increasingly adopted to secure supply chains and stabilize pricing.
