Global governments and organizations are deepening capital investments in clean energy projects, accelerate the need for advanced
● Advancements in Chemical Synthesis and Industrial Processes:
The growth of this market is attributed to the advancements in chemical synthesis and industrial processes. Catalysts are critical to making chemical reactions more efficient and economically viable. Over the years, technology has played an important role in the evolution of catalysts, resulting in more efficient and specialized catalysts with higher production quotas and yields out there, as seen in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical industries. As a result, higher quality products can now be manufactured with more uniformity and lower energy demand. Additionally, the push for more sustainable and environment friendly industrial practices is facilitating the development of catalysts that can operate under milder conditions and with fewer byproducts.
● Increasing Environmental Regulations and Sustainability Initiatives:
Key factor deferring the dairy industry market growth is stringent environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives. The rising regulations on industrial emissions and waste imposed by governments and regulatory bodies around the world are driving a need for advanced catalysts that can meet these requirements. Catalysts help to minimize the amount of pollutants by enhancing the effectiveness of the catalytic converter that is utilized in nearly every vehicle to limit emission of toxic gases. Furthermore, the increasing emphasis on circular economy practices, which aim to minimize waste generation and promote resource recovery and reuse, is also boosting the demand for catalysts used in recycling and waste treatment processes. Environmental regulations are mounting on industries, forcing them to work in a greener manner, which creates the need for catalysts that will allow them to do so without compromising on productivity.
