Determinants Gaining Momentum

During the forecast period, the growing demand for environmental catalysts for municipal and industrial waste remediation is likely to gain traction, particularly in emerging parts of the world.

Environmental catalyst consumption has been steadily increasing in recent years. The increasing efforts to develop more efficient, cleaner, and safer industrial processes in order to adhere to ever-stringent regulations and norms instituted by authorities and regulatory bodies, particularly in regions such as North America and Europe, can be attributed to the growth of the environmental catalysts market.

North America and Europe, both relatively mature markets, have recently dominated the worldwide environmental catalysts market.

North America is the second-largest market, owing to the region's evolving low sulphur and automobile standards, which necessitate the use of environmental catalysts. The rising consumption of gasoline in the United States is expected to increase demand for catalysts used in the conversion of heavy crude oil into light fractions. Furthermore, the expansion of Mexico's oil and gas and chemical sectors is a crucial driver contributing to market growth in North America.

Consumption of these environmental catalysts, on the other hand, is predicted to expand faster in the Asia Pacific region, led by China.

Due to rising domestic demand for environmental catalysts and low manufacturing costs in comparison to the United States and the European Union, China has emerged as a manufacturing destination for chemical and petrochemical products. Growing FDI investments and lucrative growth prospects promised by developing nations such as India and Vietnam are boosting environmental catalysts market expansion in the Asia Pacific.

A surge in domestic demand for polymers and petrochemicals in the Middle East is expected to drive chemical manufacturers to increase production output for polymers and petrochemicals.

Over the last few years, the global environmental catalysts market has seen some ground-breaking, significant breakthroughs.

Recent Development

  • Acquisition:

Evonik Industries AG, a speciality Chemicals Company located in Germany, acquired Porocel Group, a catalysts company based in the United States, in November 2020. With this acquisition, Evonik Industries will have access to Porocel's catalyst rejuvenation technology, which will help the company's catalyst business.

Environmental catalysts are a class of catalysts that is primarily used in order to reduce the level of pollutants and harmful emissions associated with energy and other process based manufacturing industries. Besides their use in industrial applications, these environmental catalysts are also used to reduce automotive emissions.

As such, these catalysts commonly find application in power plants, gas and diesel engines, steam crackers, calcination plants, cement production, FCC units in refineries, waste incineration plants, gas turbines, railroad engines, steel mills, and chemical plants among others. Environmental catalysts provide an efficacious and efficient solution for restriction of emission of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide among others in to the atmosphere.

Environmental catalysts are most commonly used in selective catalytic reduction, dieses oxidation catalysts, three way catalytic convertors among others in order to reduce the levels of volatile organic compounds emissions, ammonia emissions, and nitrous oxide emissions. Demand for environmental catalysts is expected to witness a steady growth during forecast period.
