The global market for Catalysts in Petroleum Refining was valued at US$ 4916 million in the year 2024 and is projected to reach a revised size of US$ 6192 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period.
Catalysts in petroleum refining play a pivotal role in facilitating the conversion of refinery naphthas into high-octane liquid products. Their primary function involves transforming low-octane hydrocarbons into more valuable compounds, such as cyclic naphthalenes and branched alkanes. These intermediates are further processed through dehydrogenation, resulting in the production of aromatic hydrocarbons renowned for their high octane ratings. The significance of these catalysts extends beyond fuel production; they contribute to the creation of high-value petrochemical products, diesel, and gasoline. By enhancing reaction rates and improving product yields, catalysts in petroleum refining are essential for optimizing refinery operations, ensuring compliance with stringent fuel quality standards, and meeting the evolving demands of the automotive and energy sectors.
