✦ Synopsis

2.52-2.67 bn compared to $2.22 bn in 2001, representing growth of 2.3%-3.4% /y. The higher estimated growth rate is dependent on all the planned new and expanded capacity coming onstream to 2007. Major growth regions are predicted as North America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. The refining catalyst market is very competitive and this is exacerbated by increased consolidation. Figures illustrate Western European refining 1995-2203, the global catalyst market 2004 and 2007, worldwide processing capacity, regional processing, and primary catalyst processes for the period 1995-2003. Catalyst markets, hydrotreating, FCC, naphtha reforming, hydrocracking, and isomerization are illustrated for the periods 1995 to 2001. Catalyst pricing is also given for the years 1985, 1991, 1996, and 2001. The tables show the global catalyst market, catalyst industry trends (1997 to 2001/2003, respectively) and the future catalyst market for 2006/2007.
