Precious Metal Catalysts Industry Ecosystem, Growth, Opportunities

Precious metal catalysts are substances that can be used to either accelerate or decelerate chemical reactions. They function by providing a different path for the reactants to take to form the desired product, thereby increasing the rate at which a reaction can occur. Because of their high stability and reactivity, precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are commonly used as catalysts. Precious metal catalysts are used in a wide range of industrial processes, from pharmaceutical and petrochemical production to food and beverage production. They are also used in environmental applications such as pollutant removal from air and water sources. The demand for precious metal catalysts is expected to remain strong in the near future, due to increased demand for chemical processes and environmental remediation.

The global precious metal catalysts market size is estimated to grow from USD 14.37 Billion in 2017 to USD 19.41 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.19%. It is projected to witness significant growth in the next few years due to advancements in technology and the high efficiency of precious metal catalysts. Growth in demand in automobile and pharmaceutical applications, along with environment concerns and their legal implications is the key factor fueling the growth of the precious metal catalysts market. The precious metal catalysts market has opportunities owing to the increase in R&D activities by companies to reduce costs and improve the quality of catalysts and the rise in investments in the automobile sector, which will drive the demand for emission control catalysts.

Precious metal catalysts are compounds made from one or more of the precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and ruthenium. These catalysts are used in chemical reactions to speed up the reaction rate and increase the yield of the desired product. They are particularly useful for reactions that are not easily achievable without them, such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and hydrolysis reactions. They can also be used to reduce the amount of energy required for a reaction, making it more energy efficient. Precious metal catalysts are used in a wide range of industries, including petroleum refining, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food processing.

“The platinum catalyst segment is projected to dominate the market in the precious metal catalysts market through 2022”

The platinum segment, by type, is projected to dominate the precious metal catalysts market, as the platinum catalyst helps to reduce the CO2 emission. The dominant position of the platinum catalyst segment can be attributed to the rise in the sale of diesel vehicles in Europe and North America and the introduction of more stringent Euro 6 and Euro 7 emission rules in Europe, which is expected to drive the market for platinum catalysts, as it is mainly used as emission control catalysts. It is largely used in the automobile sector to reduce the effect of pollutants released by the industrial processing units.

“The automobile sector is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period”

The automobile sector dominated the market in 2016, and is projected to be the fastest-growing end-use sector over the next five years, as a result of the rising stringent emission standards and the growing automotive, refinery, and pharmaceutical industries. The newly developed emission standards demand additional improvements in catalyst technologies to successfully remove toxic substances from car exhausts, which will, in turn, drive the precious metal catalysts market growth through the automobile sector.
