Palm Oil-based Oleochemicals Market: Growth Projections and Key Trends from 2024 to 2034

The Residue Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (RFCC) Catalyst market is poised for significant growth during the forecast period from 2024 to 2034. RFCC catalysts play a pivotal role in the refining process, facilitating the conversion of heavy crude oil into lighter, more valuable products such as gasoline, diesel, and other petrochemical feedstock. With increasing demand for energy and stricter environmental regulations aimed at reducing sulfur emissions, the need for high-performance catalysts is on the rise.

The global RFCC Catalyst industry, valued at US$ 244.0 million in 2023, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2024 to 2034, reaching US$ 360.1 million by the end of 2034.

The global RFCC Catalyst market is expected to grow at a steady pace over the next decade, driven by expanding refinery capacities, particularly in emerging economies. As the demand for transportation fuels, petrochemicals, and cleaner-burning fuels continues to surge, refineries are investing in advanced catalytic technologies to maximize yield and efficiency.
