Market Segmentation
The field of homogeneous precious metal catalysis is an emerging trend in the chemical sector. The process of homogeneous catalysis, which involves precious metals, is employed to execute reactions selectively and meticulously within the chemical industry. Certain specific chemical reactions, such as metathesis and hydroformylation, can only be facilitated through homogeneous precious metal catalysis. The metal used in homogeneous catalysts is utilized more efficiently compared to its heterogeneous counterparts. Moreover, homogeneous catalysis involving precious metals offers a unique solution in scenarios where highly specific reactions are required, thereby anticipated to drive the demand for these products in the chemical industry, particularly for fine chemical applications. Over the past decade, the European chemical industry has witnessed rapid growth due to extensive R&D initiatives undertaken by various firms, positioning it as the second-largest global chemical producer. Furthermore, the resurgence of the global chemical industry, along with swift industrialization, is projected to stimulate the demand for homogeneous precious metal catalysts in the region during the forecast period.
The cost of a catalyst is determined by the type of raw material (such as palladium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, gold, iridium, and chemical compounds) from which it is produced. If the raw material for the desired catalyst is derived from organic sources, it is expected that its price will rise, resulting in an increase in the overall cost of the catalyst. If the catalyst is produced from an inorganic source like base metals and mineral ores, then the price is dependent on the cost of the metal ore and the processing cost of the metal. In the case of base metals, the price hike of catalysts is purely due to price fluctuations. However, precious metals like platinum are needed for the production of organic catalysts. As a result, the prices of homogeneous precious metal catalysts are subject to change due to variations in the prices of the raw materials.
