Refining Catalysts Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030
Description
The refining catalysts market is expected to grow from USD 5.108 billion in 2025 to USD 6.252 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 4.12%.
Market Overview
The global refining catalysts market is experiencing robust growth driven by stringent emission control regulations and the increasing utilization of petroleum derivatives. Rising investments in refinery infrastructure and escalating demand for transportation fuels are key factors propelling market expansion. The adoption of nano-catalysts in refining processes is anticipated to further enhance market growth, while the surging global energy demand continues to fuel the need for refining catalysts.
Market Drivers
Growing Energy Demand
The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing energy consumption. Petroleum derivatives, such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and kerosene, play a critical role in meeting this demand, driving the need for refining catalysts. The industrial sector, encompassing refining, mining, and manufacturing, is a major energy consumer, with projections indicating a 30% increase in global industrial energy use from 2018 to 2050, reaching approximately 315 quadrillion Btu. Developing economies, particularly in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, are expected to contribute significantly to this demand, bolstered by rising electricity consumption and evolving living standards.
Expansion of the Transportation Industry
The transportation sector, including aircraft, commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, and ships, is a significant driver of refining catalyst demand. Global transportation energy consumption is forecasted to grow by approximately 40% from 2018 to 2050, primarily in developing economies like China, India, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia, where automotive sales are surging. The growth of the e-commerce industry has also spurred demand for efficient logistics and fleet management, further increasing the need for petroleum-based fuels. For instance, Japan’s logistics industry, valued at approximately 25 trillion yen in 2017, is undergoing structural changes to meet rising consumer demands driven by e-commerce growth. In India, road transport dominates freight traffic, reinforcing the demand for refining catalysts.
Challenges
Despite strong growth drivers, the market faces challenges from increasing government initiatives promoting clean energy, such as incentives for low-carbon emission vehicles in countries like Australia. The rising popularity of renewable energy sources, including natural gas, solar, and wind, poses a potential constraint on market growth due to concerns over the environmental impact of crude oil.
Geographical Outlook
The APAC region is poised to hold a significant market share, driven by an increasing number of refineries and growing demand for transportation fuels. North America also commands a substantial share, supported by large-scale refineries and major oil and gas companies like ExxonMobil, which boasts the largest refining capacity of any single firm globally.
