Market Study: Catalysts

Market Study: Catalysts

Fertilizers, detergents and crude oil products in general: Catalysts are need almost always. More than 80% of products in the chemical industry are manufactured using catalytic processes. Accordingly, the economic importance of catalysts, substances used to speed up chemical reactions, is high. This latest study published by the market research institute Ceresana analyzes the world market for these products: Analysts expect total market value of catalysts to rise to more than US$22 billion until 2021.

Largest Consumer North America

Since the USA are processing a particularly large amount of crude oil, this country is the by far largest consumer of catalysts. Currently, North America accounts for a world market share of 42%. Yet Asia-Pacific is catching up fast: China is exhibiting the highest growth rate of the 20 countries analyzed by Ceresana; demand in this country will increase by 4.5% per year. Demand for catalysts in Western Europe, on the other hand, is falling. The southern EU-countries are still suffering notably from the effects of the financial crisis. Also, Europe is increasingly relying on alternative energies: One measure is adding vegetable oils to gasoline, these oils do not have to be refined and therefore require no catalysts when being processed.

Crude Oil Refining Dominating Application

About 80% of all the catalysts consumed are utilized in the refining of crude oil, for example in processes such as fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracking or reforming. Catalysts are also needed in chemical syntheses and polymerization. Ceresana forecast the most dynamic development at an AAGR of 3.1% p.a. until 2021 for polymerization, with the synthesis of polyethylene and polypropylene accounting for the major share. The manufacturing of polyethylene and polypropylene from renewable resources requires the use of catalysts as well: The global market for bioplastics is expected to grow at an AAGR of almost 20% p.a. in the next eight years.

Chemical Synthesis and Polymerization

Ceresana forecasts revenues generated with catalysts for chemical synthesis to increase to approx. US$ 8.7 billion during the next eight years, due to the upturn of global economic development. Important processes consuming catalysts are the production of ammonia, nitric acid and methanol. The most commonly used products in these processes are metals or mixed metals, which are more expensive than, e.g., the zeolite used in fluid catalytic cracking.

The Study in Brief:

Chapter 1 provides a presentation and analysis of the global market for catalysts – including forecasts up to 2021: For each region, demand and revenues will be explained.

Chapter 2 offers a detailed analysis of demand for and revenues generated with catalysts in the refining of crude oil, chemical synthesis and polymerization split by 20 countries.

Chapter 3 provides a substantiated analysis of individual applications of catalysts: Data on demand development, split by the seven world regions Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa are given.

Chapter 4 provides profiles of the largest manufacturers, clearly arranged according to contact details, turnover, profit, product range, production sites, profile summary, products, and applications. Extensive profiles of 78 manufacturers are given, including Albemarle Corporation, Arkema SA, BASF SE, Bayer AG, Chemtura Corporation, China National Petroleum Corporation, Clariant International Ltd., Exxon Mobil Corporation, Haldor Topsøe A/S, Honeywell International Inc., Johnson Matthey Plc, Lanxess AG, Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Sinopec and W.R. Grace & Co.

Colorful world market: current Ceresana study on pigments
Around the world, green is considered the color of new beginnings, of growth, of life. However, finding truly "green" pigments is a challenge: cadmium, cobalt, copper and other heavy metals can be dangerous, while natural earth colors are less durable and more difficult to process. Nevertheless, the outlook for manufacturers and distributors of these small, coloring particles is predominantly positive: global demand for pigments will increase to around 14.5 million

Granulated cork, mats made from hemp, fleeces made from sheep's wool or even blown-in cellulose flakes: Biobased insulation materials are increasingly competing with mineral wool and plastic foam. Ceresana has been analyzing the market for insulation materials used for thermal insulation in the construction industry for 10 years. Now, for the first time, the market research institute is publishing a study specifically on the European market for insulation materials made
Sustainable adhesion: Ceresana report on biobased adhesives
Adhesives make many environmentally friendly products possible: lightweight car bodies and batteries for electromobility, insulation glazing for facades and insulating panels as well as corrugated cardboard packaging or simple paper bags. Increasingly, however, not only the end products but also the adhesives themselves are to be "organic" - in fact, more than 13 million tonnes are already produced around the world each year, and this figure is rising. So far,

Stretching towards success: Plastic films get stronger and more transparent if they are stretched longitudinally and crosswise during production. The "biaxially oriented" plastics polypropylene (BOPP), polyethylene (BOPE) and polyester (BOPET) are processed into packaging, bags and sacks, shrink and stretch films, but also, for example, agricultural films, insulation material and industrial films. According to the latest Ceresana study on the global market for flexible plastic films, which is already the
