The Catalyst Review
... Forty years of covering the catalyst industry. No one knows the business like TCGR ...
Study Highlights
* Our estimate of today's catalyst industry is nearly
$39B, growing to almost $48B by 2029, a CAGR
of 3.5%.
* With energy demand increasing, decarbonization
needs are driving energy diversification (less coal,
more NG, more electricity).
* Slower EV penetration than once projected is
extending " peak oil demand " into 2030s, providing
>2% CAGR for refining catalysts in the 2020s.
* In petrochemical catalysts, greater than GDP growth
is anticipated, particularly in supply chains for
polyolefins, PET, fine and specialty chemicals, and
low-carbon alternatives like syngas and methanol.
* The polymerization catalyst market is growing 4.5%
per year, mainly driven by PE/PP.
* New regulations in the environmental catalyst
market are still driving growth at 3.7% per year.
