Technavio’s analysts categorize the global ECCs market into three major segments by metal. They are:

  • Palladium
  • Platinum
  • Rhodium

Global ECCs market by palladium catalyst

Palladium is a shiny, silvery-white rare metal. It is widely used in automotive, jewelry, and other industrial applications. It is used as an ECC and plays a crucial role in making modern cars more efficient and environment-friendly.

According to Hitesh Bhatia, a lead specialty chemicals research analyst from Technavio, “The demand for palladium in catalytic converters in the automobile segment is expected to increase during the forecast period. Automobile catalytic converter is one of the largest applications of palladium. Environment-friendly innovations, such as catalytic converters and fuel cells, have aided the growth of palladium catalysts in automotive applications.”

Global ECCs market by platinum catalyst

Platinum reduces the emissions of sulfur, phosphorus, and lead. The metal is preferred in automotive applications owing to its high melting point, greater strength, and corrosion resistance. The increasing production of light- and heavy-duty diesel trucks is anticipated to drive the market growth in key regions, such as China, India, and Japan.

The high cost of platinum when compared with palladium and reduced activity for the conversion of NOx and low thermal resistance when handling high-temperature loads in catalytic converters are some of the notable factors hindering the acceptance of platinum in ECCs,” says Hitesh.

Global ECCs market by rhodium catalyst

Rhodium is the most expensive catalyst available for emission control applications. However, the price is justified as it offers the highest catalytic activity for the efficient removal of NOx from the exhaust.

A combination of both palladium and rhodium catalytic converters are being introduced in the market. This enables a trade-off between the performance and justifies the cost. The fact that these precious metals have no clear substitutes shields them from the threat of substitutes as the demand grows. The demand is mainly driven by stringent emission standards for OEMs the tightening standards aftermarket.

The top vendors highlighted by Technavio’s research analysts in this report are:

  • BASF
  • CATALER
  • Clariant
  • Johnson Matthey
  • Umicore
