Market Drivers:
The technical development trend of molecular sieves is mainly focused on the synthesis of new structural molecular sieves and breakthroughs in green synthesis technology. At present, the synthesis of new structural molecular sieves with large pores is still a technical difficulty, and researchers are exploring the use of large-size diquaternary ammonium bases and other templates to improve the synthesis process. In addition, due to the high price of organic templates and the wastewater and exhaust emissions, research is focusing on finding low-emission, low-cost synthesis methods to reduce environmental impact and improve the sustainability of production. The research on molecular sieve materials has also gradually penetrated into high-tech fields such as energy, materials, biomedicine, and environmental protection, promoting the interdisciplinary application of the industry.
With the increasingly stringent global environmental protection policies, the application of molecular sieves in the field of environmental protection presents huge development opportunities. Molecular sieves have been widely used in the catalysis and adsorption of air purification, flue gas desulfurization, denitrification, etc., especially in the treatment of automobile exhaust. The Chinese government's implementation of the National VI emission standards has accelerated the growth in demand for environmental protection catalysts, which provides a huge market space for molecular sieve products. The National VI emission standards for diesel engines in terms of NOx and particulate matter are very strict. The original vanadium-based SCR molecular sieve catalyst cannot meet the requirements. It is necessary to use zeolite molecular sieve as the SCR catalyst and install CSF (DPF) to enhance the capture of particulate matter.

Restraint:
The production of molecular sieve catalysts depends on specific raw materials, such as silicon sources, aluminum sources and template directing agents, the supply of which may be affected by factors such as global market fluctuations, environmental policy restrictions and the scarcity of mineral resources. Fluctuations in raw material prices, supply chain disruptions or shortages will directly affect production costs and delivery times, increasing the operational risks of enterprises. In addition, unstable raw material quality may also lead to fluctuations in catalyst performance, affecting the market competitiveness of products.
With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the production process of molecular sieve catalysts faces more environmental compliance requirements. Wastewater, waste gas and solid waste will be generated during the production process. If they are not effectively treated, they may face environmental fines, production stagnation or higher governance costs. In addition, with changes in national policies, new environmental standards and emission requirements may cause existing products or production processes to fail to meet the new regulations, forcing companies to carry out expensive technological transformation.
The technological update speed of the molecular sieve catalyst market is relatively fast. If companies fail to continue technological innovation and product research and development, they will face the risk of being surpassed by industry competitors. Breakthroughs in new technologies may lead to a reduction in the technical content and market value of existing products, thereby affecting market share. Especially in the field of high-end catalysts, competition is fierce and technical barriers are high. Companies need to continuously invest in research and development and maintain technological leadership in order to maintain their competitive advantage in the market.

Opportunity:
With increasingly stringent environmental policies, the production of molecular sieve catalysts will gradually develop in the direction of green environmental protection. In the future, the synthesis process of molecular sieves will pay more attention to reducing the use of organic templates and strive to reduce the emission of wastewater and exhaust gas. Enterprises will increase investment in environmental protection technology in the production process of catalysts and develop new catalysts with low energy consumption and low emissions. The wide application of environmentally friendly catalysts in tail gas treatment and wastewater treatment will promote the continuous innovation and market expansion of molecular sieve technology.
Ketjen's ReNewFCCTM catalyst portfolio is specifically designed to support the processing of renewable energy and recycled raw materials. With the introduction of new raw materials such as waste and biomass-derived oils, the metal content and high oxygen content of these raw materials have brought new challenges. Ketjen helps meet these challenges by developing specialized catalysts and services to ensure that harmful emissions and energy consumption are reduced during processing, while improving the stability and efficiency of catalysts. This technology not only optimizes the service life of the catalyst, but also promotes a greener and more environmentally friendly production process, meets increasingly stringent environmental standards, and supports the sustainable development of global energy transformation.
Molecular sieve catalysts will develop in the direction of multifunctionality in the future. With the advancement of technology, molecular sieve catalysts will not only be used in traditional petrochemical and environmental protection fields, but will also play a greater role in emerging fields such as energy storage, cell catalysis, and materials science. The selectivity, stability, and reusability of catalysts will be significantly improved, promoting their application in more high-tech fields and further expanding market potential.
With the development of artificial intelligence and digital technology, the production process of molecular sieve catalysts will be managed intelligently. Through data analysis and automated control technology, the efficiency, quality control, and cost control of catalyst production will be optimized. The intelligent system can monitor the production process in real time, automatically adjust the reaction conditions, and ensure the consistency and stability of product quality. At the same time, digital technology will help companies better conduct market forecasts and customer demand analysis, and enhance the market competitiveness of products.
