Abstract
Summary
The wild fluctuations in oil prices over the past year has set off a quest for
both better fuels and improved efficiencies for manufacturing established
fuels and chemicals. NanoMarkets believes that catalysts will play a key role
in this quest as refining and petchem producers look for ways to reduce energy
consumption, improve yield and process selectivity, as well as ways to produce
alternative fuels. In light of this environment, NanoMarkets expects the
market for such catalysts to grow rapidly over the next few years. In this new
report, NanoMarkets will uncover the opportunities for catalysts in the
petroleum refining and petchem industries, with a special focus on the latest
materials and process technologies.
The report analyzes and quantifies the markets for catalysts used in both
current and emerging refining and petchem production processes, as well as
covers the markets for catalysts used in syngas conversion to alternative
fuels and chemicals.
Methodology of this Report
This report is based on extensive interviews with the key, as well as
emerging, players throughout the catalyst community, as well as extensive
secondary research including an analysis of relevant applications markets. To
determine where the opportunities are, we have based this report on both
primary and secondary research. The secondary research drew on the World Wide
Web, commercial databases, trade press articles, SEC filings, and other
corporate literature to fill out what is going on in this sector. The
forecasting approach taken in this report is explained in more detail in
Chapter Four.
