Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) is a type of processing unit used in oil refineries to produce additional gasoline while the refining process is being carried out. It is a chemical process that splits long-chain hydrocarbons into shorter-chain hydrocarbons by using a catalyst and heat. Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst increases the rate of chemical reaction, which lowers the activation energy in the petroleum refining process. The main products of the FCC catalyst are gasoline sulfur reduction, maximum bottoms conversion, maximum light olefins, maximum middle distillates, and others. Gasoline sulfur reduction includes sulfur, a naturally occurring substance found in crude oil, unless it has been removed. These are used for various applications such as residue, vacuum gas oil, others by refinery, environmental, and other end-users. The global FCC catalyst market is segmented - 1) By Product: Gasoline Sulfur Reduction, Maximum Bottoms Conversion, Maximum Light Olefins, Maximum Middle Distillates, Other Products 2) By Application: Residue, Vacuum Gas Oil, Other Applications 3) By End-User: Refinery, Environmental, Other End-Users The global FCC catalyst market size is expected to grow from $2.56 billion in 2022 to $2.69 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, affecting many markets across the globe. The global FCC catalyst market size is expected to reach $3.17 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.2%. The growing demand for petroleum-based products is contributing to the growth of FCC catalysts going forward. Petroleum products refer to the complex mixture derived from crude oil, which has similar physical and chemical properties. Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reaction, which lowers the activation energy in the petroleum refining process. In these processes, FCC catalyst solutions are used to transform high-boiling, high-molecular-weight hydrocarbon fractions of petroleum crude oils into valuable petroleum products, including olefinic gases, gasoline, and other items. For instance, in November 2021, according to the US Energy Information Administration, a US-based Department of Energy statistical agency, the United States produced over 11.8 million barrels per day of crude oil. Therefore, the growing demand for petroleum-based products is driving the growth of the FCC catalyst market. Major players in the fcc catalyst market are Axens SA, N.E.

Oil shale refers to a kind of fine-grained sedimentary rock that is abundant in kerogen and rich in organic material. It refers to hydrocarbons that are locked up in shale rock and must be extracted by fracking. The product involved in oil shale are shale gasoline, shale diesel, kerosene, and others. Shale gasoline refers to a natural gas that is trapped in a minute or sub-microscopic pores in shale formations. The technology involved are in-situ technology and ex-situ technology that are used for fuel, electricity, cement and chemicals, and other applications. The oil shale market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides oil shale market statistics, including oil shale industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with oil shale market share, detailed oil shale market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the oil shale industry. This oil shale market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global oil shale market size is expected to grow from $2.58 billion in 2022 to $2.92 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global oil shale market size is expected to grow to $4.68 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 12.5%. A surge in the crude oil price is expected to propel the growth of the oil shale market going forward. The crude oil price is the spot price for a barrel of benchmark crude oil. The crude oil price is increasing due to economic growth, supply limitation, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Shale oil is utilized as a replacement for conventional crude oil because, unlike the crude oil extraction technique, shale oil extraction (fracking) allows one drilling well to collect more potential energy without having to dig additional wells. For instance, in September 2022, according to a crude oil price report shared by Macro Trends, a US-based provider of historical charts covering the global stock, bond, commodity, and real estate markets, the average closing price of crude oil in 2022 is $97.40, an increase from $68.17 in 2021, which indicates an increase of 16.87%. whereas in 2020, the average closing price of crude oil was $39.68. Therefore, a surge in the crude oil price is driving the growth of the oil shale market. Technological advancements have emerged as a key trend gaining popularity in the oil shale market. Major companies operating in the oil shale market are focused on innovating new technologies to sustain their position in the market. For instance, in September 2021, ExxonMobil Corporation, a US-based oil and gas corporation, launched EMRD, a renewable diesel process technology with the purpose of increasing bio-feedstock yields. With the use of this revolutionary process technique, renewable diesel may be produced from feedstocks such as animal fats, vegetable oils, and unrefined cooking oil. The Bio-Isomerization Dewaxing (BIDWTM) catalyst from ExxonMobil is used in the EMRD process, which is an integrated solution. This offers robust dewaxing for refiners and biofuel producers in both winter and summer modes. In comparison to other internally developed zeolite-based substitutes, the BIDW catalyst displayed improved yields. In January 2021, ConocoPhillips, a US-based crude oil producer, acquired Concho Resources for an amount of $13.3 billion.
