Single-Atom Catalysts Market to Surpass UDD 1000.2 Billion by 2036 on Rising Green Hydrogen Adoption
Single-Atom Catalysts Market
The single-atom catalyst market (SACs) is shifting from a research-oriented area to the early stages of commercialization on the back of compelling economic and regulatory imperatives. A prominent push is emerging within the green hydrogen, fuel cell, and emissions mitigation areas, which are all driven by the cost of the catalyst, the availability of precious metals, and efficiency considerations. Verifiable benefits of up to a 50-70% reduction in precious metal loading, along with a current mass activity enhancement of 2-5 times that of existing alternatives, make the single-atom technology indispensable for overall large-scale applications above the 100 MW mark.

Market Drivers and Challenges
Drivers
• Precious Metal Scarcity: SACs maximize the utility of every single atom, mitigating the impact of volatile Platinum and Iridium prices.
• Decarbonization Goals: Essential for efficient $CO_2$ capture and conversion into value-added fuels (circular economy).
• Enhanced Selectivity: SACs offer 10-20% higher selectivity than conventional catalysts, reducing unwanted by-products and downstream purification costs.
Challenges
• Stability (Sintering): Maintaining isolated atoms under high-temperature industrial conditions remains a technical hurdle.
• Scalability: Moving from milligram-scale laboratory synthesis to ton-scale industrial production.
• Poisoning Resistance: Single atoms are often more sensitive to feedstock impurities compared to bulk metals.
Market Trends & Future Outlook
1. AI-Powered Design: Machine learning is now used to predict the "coordination environment" of an atom, cutting R&D cycles by nearly 50%.
2. Dual-Atom Catalysts (DACs): The next evolution involves pairing two different atoms (e.g., Pt-Cu) to work synergistically on a single site.
3. On-Surface Synthesis: Advanced microscopy allows for the fabrication of one-dimensional organic polymers that act as "atomic templates."
Future Outlook: By 2036, SACs are expected to be the standard in PEM electrolyzers and high-end specialty chemical reactors, transforming "efficiency" from a goal into a structural reality.

Competitive Landscape & Recent Developments
The market is a mix of traditional chemical giants and specialized tech innovators:
• A study was carried out by Johnson Matthey Plc in 2025, evaluating the application of Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) or Single Atom Alloy (SAA) catalysts for the methanation of CO2. The study went ahead to conceptualize how alloys could be employed for enhanced selectivity and efficiency of catalysis, a crucial milestone for catalysis.
• Johnson Matthey Plc has agreed to the sale of its Catalyst Technologies business to Honeywell International in 2025 for US$ 2.4 Billion. The agreement has implications for the company's business in the catalyst area, encompassing industrial and process catalysts. The acquisition will help Honeywell diversify its portfolio of catalysts.
• In the year 2024, BASF SE launched the opening of its new Catalyst Development and Solids Processing Center in Ludwigshafen, Germany. The new facility enhances the R&D and pilot scales of BASF in the development of novel catalysts. BASF can develop novel materials for catalysts that help in the design of atom-efficient catalysts.
• In 2024, MSE Supplies enhanced its market position in the single-atom catalysts market by creating SAC-related technical articles and promoting its existing product range of single-atom catalysts, namely Co-N-C SACs intended for electro-catalysis and thermocatalysis research. The products are meant for research in H2 evolution, O2 reduction reactions, and conversion of CO2. By supplying researchers in universities, labs, and R&D divisions of companies with readily available and well-dispersed SACs, MSE Supplies facilitated quick experimentation and prototyping of the novel catalyst structures.
Key Study Point: The industry's move toward "continuous flow manufacturing" favors SACs because their uniform active sites allow for more predictable reactor performance and easier process integration.
