The fertilizer catalysts are used in the production of fertilizers to speed up the chemical reaction. Fertilizer catalysts refer to catalyst substances that are used in fertilizer manufacturing to increase the rate of reaction and reduce the production time of fertilizers. A catalyst lowers the activation energy and allows the bonds of nitrogen and hydrogen to be more easily broken. The main products of fertilizer catalysts are iron-based, vanadium-based, platinum-based, rhodium-based, nickel-based, palladium-based, ruthenium-based, zinc-based, cobalt-based, molybdenum-based, chromium-based, and copper chromite. Molybdenum-based refers to a metallic element that resembles chromium and tungsten in many properties, is used especially in strengthening and hardening steel, and is a trace element in plant and animal metabolism. The processes used are the Haber-Bosch process, the contact process, nitric acid production, potassium fertilizer production, and urea production. The various applications involved are nitrogenous fertilizers, phosphatic fertilizers, and other applications. The fertilizer catalyst market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides fertilizer catalyst market statistics, including fertilizer catalyst industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a fertilizer catalyst market share, detailed fertilizer catalyst market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the fertilizer catalyst industry. This fertilizer catalyst 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 fertilizer catalyst market size grew from $2.67 billion in 2022 to $2.78 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. 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 fertilizer catalyst market size is expected to grow to $3.24 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.9%. The increasing production of fertilizers is expected to propel the growth of the fertilizer catalyst market going forward. Fertilizers refer to chemical substances that have been supplied to crops to increase their productivity. Fertilizer catalysts are used by the fertilizer manufacturing industry, and the use of a catalyst helps produce a higher volume of fertilizer at a lower cost. For instance, in 2020, according to the Department of Fertilizers, an India-based government ministry, there has been an increase of more than 11.40% in the actual production of fertilizers in the year 2020 as compared to 2019 data. Therefore, the growth in the production of fertilizers is driving the fertilizer catalyst market. Product innovation is a key trend gaining popularity in the fertilizer catalyst market. Major companies operating in the fertilizer catalyst market are focused on product innovation to strengthen their position in the market. For instance, in 2021, Clariant, a Switzerland-based chemicals company that manufactures fertilizer catalysts, developed a new fertilizer catalyst called EnviCat N2O-S. This product is proven to remove up to 95% of nitrogen generated as a by-product of nitric acid production. By avoiding greenhouse gas emissions, Clariant aims to help reduce the harmful environmental impact of fertilizer manufacturing. In April 2021, Unicat Catalyst Technology Company, a US-based catalyst producer, acquired The Magma Group for an undisclosed amount.

Chemical compounds are substances that are produced based on the transformation of organic and inorganic raw materials by a chemical process and the formulation of products. Chemicals have characteristics such as flammability, toxicity, acidity, reactivity, and heat of combustion. The main types of chemicals are general chemical products, printing inks, toiletries, soap and cleaning compounds, adhesives, paints and coatings, pesticide and other types of agricultural chemicals, chemical fertilizers, synthetic rubber and fibers, plastic material and resins, ethyl alcohol, and other basic types of organic chemical, and other types of basic inorganic chemical, synthetic dye, and pigment, industrial gas, and petrochemicals. Printing ink is ink used in printing and contains a pigment or pigments of the required color mixed with oil or varnish. The types of intermediate chemicals are methanol, ethylene oxide, and propylene oxide. The end-users involved are pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, water treatment, construction, paints and dyes, oil and gas, rubber chemicals, surfactants, personal care, and other end-users.

This chemicals market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global chemicals market grew from $4700.13 billion in 2022 to $5079.29 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. 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 chemicals market is expected to grow to $6851.59 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.8%. Interest rates were low in most developed countries during this period. This positively impacted the growth of the chemicals market. For instance, in March 2020, the Bank of England, a UK-based central bank, reduced interest rates to 0.1%, the lowest level ever, as a measure of protest against COVID-19. These low-interest rates encouraged borrowing and increased the flow of money for investment. This allowed chemical companies to borrow money for process improvements, thus driving the market during the historic period. Rising costs had a negative impact on the growth of the industrial gas market during the forecast period. This rise in raw material costs resulted in higher manufacturing costs, thus decreasing the investments available for research and development of new products. Additionally, companies invested heavily in marketing their products due to intense competition in the market. Rising trucking, railroad, dry-bulk, and air-freight rates also negatively impacted the market. This rise in operating costs increased the pressure on companies to protect margins while maintaining the quality of their products. Chemical companies are increasingly adopting sustainable and eco-friendly processes to eliminate the negative impact of chemical manufacturing on the environment. Evolution in technology and chemical sciences enables chemical companies to utilize alternative fuels to produce chemical products. They are using naturally available carbon dioxide to produce fuels, industrial products, and other substances. For instance, Akzo Nobel N.V., a chemicals and coatings giant, is planning to make a seven-figure investment in Green Lizard Technologies’ patented process to make surfactants from plants rather than from oils. Major companies in the chemicals market include JXTG Holdings Inc., Sinopec Limited, BASF SE, Procter & Gamble, Unilever plc, L'Oreal SA, Dow Inc., Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corp, and Guardian Industries, LLC.
