Emission Control Catalyst Market size was valued at USD 44,003.6 Million in 2022, expanding at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2023 to 2030.
Emission control catalysts work to break down solid particulates present in the engine exhaust systems of transportation vehicles and industrial machinery, aiming to decrease the release of harmful pollutants into the environment. Consequently, regional regulations such as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards in the USA, Euro standards in Europe, and Bharat Stage emission standards in India play a pivotal role in overseeing and reshaping the emission control catalyst market, specifically targeting air pollution across various application domains.
The anticipated rise in automobile production in emerging economies like China, Mexico, and Iran, driven by increased domestic vehicle consumption and supportive government policies for market expansion, may foster the adoption of these catalysts in the coming years. Significant growth in both industrial and automotive sectors is anticipated to propel market expansion during the forecast period. However, the fluctuating prices of platinum group metals, limited supply, and their substantial use in jewelry and construction sectors are anticipated to drive a price increase for emission control catalysts over the next eight years. With catalyst manufacturers increasingly investing in the development of platinum-rhodium-palladium (Pt-RH-Pd), it is expected to unlock new market opportunities during this timeframe.
The Global Emission Control Catalyst Market is segmented on the basis of Product, Application, and Region.
The market is divided into four categories based on product: Palladium, Platinum, Rhodium and Others. The demand for rhodium-based emission reduction catalysts dominated the market in 2022 and is projected to experience substantial growth due to its primary application in eliminating nitrogenous oxide from exhaust emissions using three-way catalytic converters in automotive engines. Moreover, rhodium exhibits unique properties such as high corrosion resistance and exceptional thermal stability compared to other metals.
The market is divided into three categories based on Application: Automotive, Industrial and Others. Automotive applications constituted the largest share of total sales in 2022, and the increasing need for automotive catalytic converters as an discharge control solution is anticipated to significantly influence the industry. Emissions from industrial plants, automobiles, and similar sources contain harmful compounds like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide, and other hazardous gases detrimental to the environment. Consequently, regional government regulations are expected to compel automotive manufacturers to ramp up catalyst usage over the next eight years to mitigate the emission of harmful gases.
Geographically, this market is widespread into the regions of North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. These regions are further divided as per the nations bringing business.
Key industry players are expected to maintain their production facilities in close proximity to the U.S., Germany, and the UK due to the strong presence of research and development infrastructure and convenient access to equipment. Major manufacturers of emission reduction catalysts such as Johnson Matthey, BASF, Umicore SA, Solvay S.A., and Corning Incorporated, supplying their products to prominent automotive catalytic converter manufacturers like Faurecia, SMPE, Magneti Marelli, and Tenneco. The burgeoning automotive industry in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, driven by escalating vehicle sales, is anticipated to prompt market players to invest significantly in the Asia Pacific region.
In April 2023, Solvay announced a strategic collaboration with Ginkgo Bioworks aimed at streamlining the development of sustainable solutions, further bolstering Solvay's market position.
