In addition, the growing awareness about environmental concerns is also propelling the demand for spent catalyst recycling services and products. The global spent catalyst recycling market by type is segmented into silver (Ag), gold (Au), platinum group metals (PGMs) and others. The PGMs segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to their high value and widespread use in various applications. By application, the global spent catalyst recycling market is divided into jewelry, catalysts, electronics, batteries and others.
Product Definition:
The recycling of spent catalysts is a very important process, as it helps to conserve resources and protect the environment. When catalysts are used in chemical reactions, they can become depleted and no longer effective. If these catalysts are not recycled, they can end up in landfills where they could potentially contaminate soil and water supplies. By recycling spent catalysts, we can reduce the amount of pollutants that are released into the environment.
Silver (Ag):
Silver (Ag) is a chemical element with the symbol Ag and atomic number 47. It is a soft, silver-white metal that is highly malleable and ductile. Its monoblock consists of flat sides, two angles, and an edge.
Gold (Au):
Gold (Au) is a soft metal, which has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. It is malleable and ductile in nature. Gold has been traditionally used as an investment commodity as it provides a return of around 10% per annum on the capital invested through inflation-linked cash deposits or by purchasing gold bullions.
Application Insights:
The electronics segment accounted for the largest share of over 40.0% in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growing demand for smartphones, tablets, laptops/notebooks, flat panels TVs and other electronic devices is anticipated to drive the global spent catalyst recycling market growth.
Jewelry was one of the prominent applications in 2017 and is projected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period owing to rising gold prices coupled with increasing consumer spending capacity across various regions including Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa. Growing jewelry demand from China, India & South Korea as a result of high production rates coupled with increasing disposable income has resulted in increased product consumption which will boost industry growth during next eight years or so (estimated).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific region dominated the global spent catalyst recycling market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The presence of key manufacturers, suppliers as well as end-users in this region has contributed significantly to its dominance. In addition, growing demand for jewelry and increasing spending power are some of the factors that can be attributed to regional growth.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe with a share of over 25% in 2016 owing to high demand from countries such as Germany, France, Italy and U.K., which are major consumers of electronic products on account of their large consumer base coupled with high disposable income levels among individuals living there.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of spent catalyst recycling among end users and regulatory authorities is expected to drive the market growth.
- Stringent environmental regulations across various countries are compelling industries to adopt spent catalyst recycling as a preferred waste management option, which is further propelling the market growth.
- Growing demand for refined petroleum products, especially in developing countries, is fueling the need for more efficient and effective spent catalyst recycling technologies and services.
- Proliferation of new refining technologies that produce greater volumes of by-products is resulting in an increase in the number of spent catalysts that need to be recycled globally.

Frequently Asked Questions?
Spent catalyst recycling is the process of recovering and reusing spent catalysts from industrial processes. Catalysts are essential components in many industrial processes, such as oil refining, chemical manufacturing, and gas production. When these catalysts reach their expiration date or when they become unusable due to wear and tear, they must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.nnThe spent catalyst recycling process begins by removing the active materials from the old catalysts using a variety of methods. This includes crushing them into small pieces or pulverizing them into powder form. The broken down material is then washed with water to remove any impurities before it is dried out completely. Next, the dry material is burned off using a hot air furnace or torch to create heat that breaks down the molecules even further. Finally, all remaining residue including ash and metal particles are collected for disposal purposes
Some of the key players operating in the spent catalyst recycling market are Umicore, Tanaka, Heraeus, Johnson Matthey, Dowa Holdings, BASF Catalysts, Ecotrade Group, Shell, Sino-Platinum Metals, Asahi Holdings.
The spent catalyst recycling market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.5%.
