Allied Market Researchが発行した新しいレポートによると、メタノール触媒市場は2022年に60億米ドルと評価され、2023年から2032年にかけてCAGR 3.2%で成長し、2032年には80億米ドルに達すると推定されています。
メタノール触媒は、それ自体を消費することなくメタノールを生成する反応を促進する化学物質です。その結果、反応を引き起こすのに必要な活性化エネルギーが減少するため、反応をより速く継続することができます。メタノール触媒を使用することで、温度、圧力、濃度といった危険の少ない状況下で反応を起こすことができるため、経済的・環境的な観点からも有利です。一酸化炭素(CO)と水素(H2)は通常、高温高圧下で触媒と反応し、触媒作用によってメタノールを生産します。
メタノール触媒市場は、医薬品、エレクトロニクス、石油化学、精製など、さまざまな最終用途産業におけるメタノールの幅広い利用など、いくつかの要因によって牽引されています。メタノールは、原料として、あるいは医薬品製造の一段階として使用することができます。医薬品製造の溶媒として使用されることが多いです。極性分子の溶解に非常に効果的で、さまざまな化学化合物を溶解することができます。医薬品成分の抽出、精製、分離は、製造工程におけるメタノールの溶媒としての性質によって可能になります。メタノールは誘導体化反応にも使用でき、医薬化合物中の特定の官能基を修飾して分析や検出を容易にします。特定の薬物や薬物の代謝物はメタノールと反応して、より安定で目に見える誘導体を形成することができ、生物学的サンプル中の検出や測定が可能になります。
According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Methanol Catalyst Market," The methanol catalyst market was valued at $6 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2023 to 2032.
Methanol catalysts are chemicals that accelerate reaction to produce methanol without consuming themselves. As a result, the reaction can continue faster since the activation energy needed to cause the reaction is reduced. The use of methanol catalysts is advantageous from an economic and environmental perspective because they allow reactions to occur under less hazardous circumstances of temperature, pressure, or concentration. Carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) normally react with the catalyst present at elevated pressures and temperatures to produce methanol through a catalytic process.
The market for methanol catalysts is driven by several factors including the wide utilization of methanol in different end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, petrochemicals, refining, and others. Methanol can be used as a raw material or a step in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. It is often used as a solvent in pharmaceutical production. It is highly effective in dissolving polar molecules and can dissolve a wide variety of chemical compounds. The extraction, purification, and separation of pharmaceutical ingredients are made possible by the solvent qualities of methanol during the manufacturing process. Methanol can be used for derivatization reactions, where specific functional groups in pharmaceutical compounds are modified to facilitate analysis and detection. Certain medications or drug metabolites can react with methanol to form more stable and visible derivatives, allowing for their detection and measurement in biological samples.
In addition, it can be used as a reagent in a wide range of chemical processes used in the production of pharmaceuticals. As a methylating agent, it can be used to add methyl groups to molecules, helping the synthesis of medicinal compounds. Methanol can also take part in esterification processes that produce esters, which are vital building blocks in the manufacture of drugs. Furthermore, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from natural sources or reaction mixtures can be isolated and purified using methanol in extraction and purification methods. Target chemicals can be extracted from plant materials or other sources using methanol, which can then be further purified to provide very pure APIs. Owing to these excellent applications of methanol in the pharmaceutical sector, the methanol catalyst market will expand significantly during the forecast period.
The development of new catalysts for methanol generation drives the demand for methanol catalyst market. The newly developed catalysts have excellent properties including improved efficiency, lower operating temperature and pressure, reduced CO2 emissions, and easy recovery. The copper-based catalyst supported on zeolite materials is one example of a novel catalyst for methanol production. Zeolites, which have well-defined microporous structures and are crystalline aluminosilicate minerals, have a high surface area and extreme heat stability. The methanol synthesis reaction has shown potential when catalyzed by copper-based catalysts supported on zeolites.
In addition, the use of nano catalysts has also attracted attention. The increased surface-to-volume ratio of nano catalysts provides more active sites for catalysis and improves the kinetics of the process. As catalysts for the synthesis of methanol, a variety of nanoscale materials are being investigated, including metal nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Another example is the development of bimetallic catalysts, which mix two different metals to improve catalytic activity. Combinations like copper-zinc, copper-ruthenium, or copper-gold have all been investigated for the synthesis of methanol. When compared to single-metal catalysts, these bimetallic catalysts frequently show increased activity, selectivity, and stability. Owing to these factors, the market for methanol catalyst expanded tremendously during the forecast period.
The restraining factor for the methanol catalyst market is high capital investment for syngas production, a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2). It is a starting material for methanol generation. The price of the raw materials required for producing syngas can impact on the total cost. Natural gas, coal, and biomass are the most often used raw materials for the generation of syngas. These feedstocks' pricing and availability can change based on the region, market demand, cost of extraction, and environmental regulations. The cost of obtaining and preparing the feedstock for gasification can occasionally be significant, which has an impact on the total cost of producing syngas.
Moreover, substantial amounts of energy are often needed for syngas generation. Gasification, a step in the process, requires elevated temperatures (often above 700°C) and occasionally high pressures. The feedstock must be converted into syngas under these working conditions, which demand large energy inputs. The cost of obtaining and supplying the required energy might go towards the overall cost of producing syngas. Also, syngas is generated by a complicated process that includes the preparation of feedstock, gasification, gas purification, and conditioning. Catalysts, gasifiers, and other specialized tools and safety program needed for each of these stages. Owing to these factors, the high capital investment for syngas production hinders the growth of the methanol catalyst market.
The mitigation of CO2 emission is an excellent opportunity for the methanol catalyst market. A procedure known as CO2 hydrogenation or CO2 methanation can be used to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into methanol. Methanol, a useful byproduct of this process, is produced when CO2 and hydrogen gas (H2) combine. This process uses CO2, which can come from a variety of places, including industrial pollutants, exhaust gases, or even the atmosphere itself. The CO2 hydrogenation reaction frequently takes place with a catalyst, which speeds up and improves the reaction's efficiency.
Catalysts of many types, including metal catalysts (such copper, zinc, or palladium) supported by a wide range of materials, including zeolites, metal oxides, or carbon-based supports, can be used. By using CO2 as a feedstock, CO2 hydrogenation offers a way to recycle carbon emissions and turn them into useful molecules like methanol, helping to mitigate carbon dioxide and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Owing to these factors, the methanol catalyst market will increase at a significant rate during the forecast period.
The methanol catalyst market is divided on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is classified into copper-based catalysts, zinc-based catalysts, and others. Depending on the application, the market is segregated into industrial field, automobile field, and others. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
