The Refinery catalysts market is projected to reach USD 6.8 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.0% from USD 5.6 billion in 2024. Refinery catalysts are used in refineries to produce high quality fuels with low emissions. Their ability to remove impurities and lower sulfur content along with enhancing the chemical processes makes them useful for refining applications. In the oil refineries, refinery catalysts are used to aid the chemical reactions to upgrade oil products by reducing the content of nitrogen, metals, sulfur, carbon, aromatics and other impurities from feedstock.

"Based on ingredient, zeolites are expected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period, in terms of value."
Zeolites ingredients are the fastest growing in refinery catalysts due to their high acid strength which is vital for catalysing various reactions such as cracking, isomerization, and alkylation. They are generally stable at high temperatures making the appropriate for industrial applications. Zeolites can be utilized through ion exchange and chemical modifications to improve their catalytic properties for specific reactions like petroleum refining, oil production and environmental applications.
"Based on type, FCC Catalysts is the largest market during the forecast period, in terms of value."
FCC Catalysts constitute the largest market in refineries market. These catalysts create new and smaller molecules from larger molecules to make gasoline and distillate fuels. They help in lowering sulfur content get high octane numbers, low NOx emissions, and low levels of carbon monoxide. FCC catalysts aid in conversion process and mitigate severe operating conditions. This helps to maximize the yield of high-quality products from crude oil. They are very versatile and can process a wide range of feed stocks making them suitable for various refinery operations.
"Based on region, North America is the second largest market for refinery catalysts during the forecast period, in terms of value."
The refinery catalyst market in North America has witnessed robust growth driven by need for efficient refinery processes, strict environmental regulations regarding emissions and fuel quality. The region has high number of oil reserves and requires refinery catalysts in order to meet the increasing demand of refined petroleum products while adhering to mandates for high quality and environmental regulations
