Pune, India, Sept. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global refinery catalyst market size is expected to gain momentum by reaching USD 5.84 Billion by 2028 while exhibiting a CAGR of 3.8% between 2021 to 2028. In its report titled "Refinery Catalyst Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Zeolites, Metallic, and Chemical Compounds), By Application (FCC, Alkylation, Hydrotreating, Hydrocracking, Catalytic Reforming, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2021-2028," Fortune Business Insights mentions that the market stood at USD 4.38 billion in 2020.
The growing demand for petroleum products such as kerosene, diesel, petroleum, and several others has surged the demand for refinery materials. These materials are used in the refining process to wash out the impurities, such as nitrogen, sulfur, and few other metal contaminations. These refining catalysts include zeolites, palladium, zirconium, and a few other materials used in combinations and independently to improve the operating effectiveness of petroleum products.
COVID-19 Impact
The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic slumped the global economy. The refining and petroleum industries were also at a loss due to a drop in demand and an unforeseen increase in supply. This hugely impacted the crude oil prices, which affected the prices of refined petroleum products, especially gasoline. However, producer prices of crude petroleum partly recovered, thereby promoting the demand. The world's petroleum supplies recovered in July 2020 since the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) cuts were reduced from 9.7 million to 7.7 million barrels per day. Therefore it is anticipated that the market will recover soon during the forecast period.
