    The global refining catalyst market has a promising outlook

    Global refining catalyst manufacturers are generally optimistic about the prospects of the refining catalyst market, especially the emerging economy market will maintain a rapid growth rate
    .
    Analysts say demand for refining catalysts will be driven by a number of factors, including continued growth in demand for transportation fuels and petrochemicals, tighter regulations on global fuel standards and increasingly inferior
    feedstocks.

    According to data from Catalyst Group Resources (TCRG), the global consumption value of refining catalysts reached 6.
    9 billion US dollars in 2015, and it is growing at an average annual rate of 3.
    3% during 2015~2018, and the global refining catalyst market value will reach 8.
    4 billion US dollars
    by 2021.
    The strongest demand growth during the forecast period will occur in emerging and developing countries such as China, the rest of Asia excluding Japan, and the Middle East, while demand growth will be slow
    in North America, Western Europe and Japan.
