Market Overview:
The global fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for gasoline and diesel fuel from the transportation sector, especially in developing countries. In addition, stringent environmental regulations regarding emissions are also driving the demand for fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst products. The global fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, it is divided into octane number improving agent, light olefins enhancing agent, and sulphur reducing agent. The octane number improving agent segment accounts for a major share in terms of revenue in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5% during 2018-2030 owing to its ability to improve fuel quality by increasing octane number values. By application, it is classified into vacuum gas oil (VGO), residue (residual fuel oil), and others (lubricants base stock).
Product Definition:
A fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst is a porous solid material that is used to promote the cracking of hydrocarbons in the presence of heat and a fluidizing agent. The catalyst can be used to produce gasoline, kerosene, and other products from crude oil or petroleum fractions.
Octane Number Improving Agent:
An octane number improving agent is a chemical that can increase the octane rating of an fuel. The most commonly used agents are methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE). They are widely used in gasoline to improve its octane rating.
Light Olefins Enhancing Agent:
Light olefins enhancing agent is a chemical that enhances the properties of olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butenes. It also increases the rate of reaction between them. The product is added to catalysts during fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) process in order to increase their activity and improve selectivity.
The global light olefins enhancing agent market size was valued at USD 536 million in 2015.
Application Insights:
The others application segment includes diesel, fuel oil, naphtha and LPG. The other applications of fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst include vacuum gas oil (VGO), residue (crude bitumen), and others. Vacuum gasoil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with low octane number that requires VGO reforming to increase its octane rating before it can be used in gasoline blending stations or refineries. Favorable government regulations for the use of VGO as a fuel in road transport vehicles are expected to drive the demand for fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst over the forecast period.
Residue crude bitumen is produced from conventional crude oil sources such as Canada, Mexico, Venezuela.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of major refineries coupled with growing demand for gasoline from emerging economies such as China, India, Indonesia, and Thailand is anticipated to drive the regional market growth. Asia Pacific has witnessed a significant increase in automobile production owing to low labor cost attracting various carmakers including Toyota Motor Corporation; Honda Motor Co., Ltd.; Nissan Motors Ltd.; Hyundai Mobis; Tata Motors; Mahindra & Mahindra Limited; and Royal Enfield Limited among others.
The Middle East & Africa region is projected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period owing to rising oil production mainly from Saudi Arabia along with other countries such as Kuwait, UAE, Iran etc. The increasing oil production will lead an increase in olefin consumption which will result into increased cracking activities thereby driving catalytic fluidized catalytic cracking catalyst demand over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for gasoline and diesel fuel from transportation sector
- Growing population and rising income levels in developing countries
- Stringent environmental regulations for emissions control
- Development of new and improved FCC catalysts that offer higher conversion efficiency
- Expansion of refining capacity in response to increasing global demand for petroleum products
