Global Refinery Catalyst Procurement Market Intelligence Report 2017 - Research and Markets

The "Global Refinery Catalyst - Procurement Market Intelligence Report" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Global Refinery Catalyst Market, provides up-to-date information about market shifts and potential risks, as well as in-depth knowledge of products and services, which can help in planning and in executing category management activities. It focuses on the cost-saving aspects of procurement and on providing insights that can lead to optimization of category spend.

One of the emerging trends in the market is the increased usage of zeolites in refinery processes. Zeolites have become the building blocks of the petrochemical industry and are used to maximize the yield of gasoline and other transportation fuels such as diesel or jet fuel. The widespread adoption of zeolites can be attributed to high thermo-stability, limited or no corrosion, and reduced wastage and fewer disposal problems. As a result, zeolites are being increasingly adopted by refineries.

One of the procurement best practices for buyers is to engage with suppliers that can assist in the real-time evaluation of the effectiveness of catalysts. They should look for suppliers that can provide benchmarking tools that can help them routinely evaluate their refinery unit's data with respect to the output and effectiveness of refinery catalysts.

According to the report, one of the key growth contributors for the global refinery catalyst market is the stringent regulations promoting adoption of ultra-low sulfur marine fuel. This ordinance was passed to reduce air pollution caused due to emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides from burning of marine fuel. This has resulted in refineries investing in setting up of new refinery units and upgrading existing refineries.

Further, the report states that major procurement challenge experienced by the buyers is the difficulty in deciding between low-cost country and best-cost country sourcing. Procurement managers face a challenge in terms of choosing between low-cost country sourcing and best-cost country sourcing.
