Insights on the Worldwide Refinery Catalyst Industry to 2024 - Key Market Trends & Growth Drivers - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Refinery Catalyst Market - Procurement Intelligence Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Refinery catalysts are chemical substances that are predominantly used in petroleum refineries. They help to alter the rate of chemical reactions and enhance the quality of gasoline products (transforming into clean fuel) produced through processes such as fluid catalytic cracking and hydro-processing. The spend momentum of this market will be attributed to the global shift of buyers to ultra-low sulfur diesel from the conventional diesel due to governmental pressure on refineries to limit sulfur content to 0.5% by 2020 in fuels. This is expected to lead to an increase in the demand for highly active refinery catalysts.
