The North America refining catalysts market size is anticipated to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the adoption of improved process designs, unique equipment, and high performance of refinery catalysts.
A refining catalyst is a chemical that is used to transform naphtha into reformats, which are high-octane liquid products. It also produces cyclic naphthalene and other branched alkanes from low-octane hydrocarbons. The aromatic hydrocarbons are then dehydrogenated to generate high-octane aromatic hydrocarbons. Companies can create high-valued components that are utilised in petrochemicals, diesel, and gasoline by utilising a refining catalyst.
Refinery catalysts are primarily employed in petroleum refineries to change the pace of chemical reactions and improve the quality of gasoline products generated by processes such as fluid catalytic cracking catalysts (FCC) and hydro-processing. Using a refining catalyst, the companies may produce high-value components used in petrochemicals, diesel, and gasoline.

Based on ingredients, the market is divided into zeolites, metals, and chemical compounds. The zeolites segment is expected to account for a major market share during the forecast period owing to its increasing use in various types of refining units that consumes high amount of zeolites in fluidized catalytic cracking units. Zeolites are hydrated aluminosilicate minerals that are part of the microporous solid category. The porosity and high surface area of the ingredient makes it a prominent adsorbent and catalyst. Potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+) are all accommodated by the porous structure of zeolites.
In terms of types, the market is segmented into fluid catalytic cracking catalysts, reforming catalysts, hydrotreating catalysts, hydrocracking catalysts, isomerization catalysts, and alkylation catalysts. The fluid catalytic cracking catalysts segment is estimated to register at a high CAGR during the forecast period. The fluid catalytic cracking process plays a crucial role in refineries while producing lighter products from crude oil. The fluid catalytic cracking catalyst unit aids in the conversion of a wide range of feedstocks, including cracked gas oil, gas oil, deasphalted gas oils, vacuum/atmospheric resins, and others, into lighter and higher-value products, such as diesel oil, jet fuel, LPG, kerosene, and gasoline.
On the basis of regions, the market is categorized as United States, Canada, Mexico, and Rest of North America. The US is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. The country’s market growth is attributed to the production of gasoline, which includes thermal cracking (coking), catalytic hydrocracking, and hydro-treating. The Government of the US is pursuing a political gain strategy by deregulating oil and gas production in order to further leverage the country’s exports.
