Emission Control Catalyst Industry Overview
The global emission control catalyst market was valued at USD 12.36 billion in 2018 and is expected to register a CAGR of around 10.50% during the forecast period, 2022–2030. Emission control catalysts (ECC) or catalytic converters are devices that can convert toxic gases to less potent gases and reduces emissions. In light of stringent regulations pertaining to carbon emissions, prominent automotive manufacturers are integrating catalytic converters in their finished products. Increasing awareness towards minimizing carbon footprints is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Drivers and Restraints
Demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and rapid industrialization are factors expected to spur market demand. Continuous developments in catalysts are projected to benefit the market in the coming years. The rapid pace of urbanization coupled with the rise of expendable incomes of consumers are other factors that can influence the market growth during the forecast period. Volatile prices of platinum metals can pose a challenge to the market.
Industry News
Rise in fuel prices and skyrocketing emission rates have led to the development of ECCs which can minimize levels of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. For instance, Clariant offers its own range of catalytic converters to purify gas and air. Its utilization in industrial applications can eliminate harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxide (N2O).
In light of strict emission norms in India, Ducati, an Italian motorcycle manufacturer, has integrated a catalytic converter in its high-performance motorcycles. Furthermore, Indian Oil Company has developed a technology to convert natural gases into high-octane gasoline.
