Precious Metal Catalysts Market: Increasing use of precious metal catalysts in the automobiles is expected to boost the product demand over the forecast period 2021 to 2027

Market Segmentation

The global precious metal catalysts market is segmented by type, application, and region. On the basis of the type, the market is segregated into platinum, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, rhenium, gold, silver, nickel, and others. The platinum is the most preferred type of precious metal due to strong electrical stability, chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in crude oil refining and aromatic compounds production. Palladium metal consumption is increasing in the automotive industry owing to resistance to high temperature and sulfur poisoning. Palladium is also used in the hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbon, jewelry, and dental fillings.

Precious Metal Catalysts Market size is projected to be worth USD 27.32 Billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 6%.

Based on the application, the global precious metal catalysts is segmented into automotive, refining, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, oil, mining, electronics, and others. The automotive segment accounted for the largest market share in the precious metal catalysts as a result of a reduction in volatile organic compounds emission. Rising demand for petrochemicals from the major end use industries is driving the precious metal catalysts growth. Precious metals catalysts consumption is increasing in the refining industry due to high returns on the recovered precious metals. The demand for the product is increasing due to increasing synthesis of highly complex small-molecule intermediaries and active pharmaceuticals ingredients owing to increased atom economy. Growing electronic industry with rising demand for organic light emitting diodes in smartphones and TV.
