概要
合成ゼオライトの世界市場は、2023年に52億米ドルに達し、2024年から2031年の予測期間中にCAGR 3.1%で成長し、2031年には66億米ドルに達すると予測されています。
合成ゼオライトは卓越したイオン交換能力を持ち、カルシウム、マグネシウム、その他のイオンを除去する水軟化剤としての使用に最適です。いくつかの環境規制により、ゼオライト4Aは、以前洗剤分野で使用されていたトリポリリン酸ナトリウムなどの多縮合リン酸塩ビルダーに取って代わっています。中国洗浄工業協会の数字によると、トリポリリン酸ナトリウムの生産量と成長率は減少しています。
リン含有製品の需要が減少するにつれ、添加剤市場では4Aゼオライトの重要性が増しています。4Aゼオライトは、水中のカルシウムイオンと強力な交換活性を持つだけでなく、不溶性の汚染物質を共封鎖し、洗浄洗浄力を向上させる能力を持っています。その主な理由は、リン酸塩ベースの洗剤添加剤の有害な影響に対する理解が深まったことです。
2023年には、北米が世界の合成ゼオライト市場の20%以上を占め、第2の支配地域になると予想されます。この地域の市場成長の原動力となっているのは、石油化学、洗剤、触媒などの確立された最終用途産業の存在です。同地域ではシェールガス生産が大きく発展しており、合成ゼオライトの需要が増加しています。さらに、揮発性有機化合物(VOC)の排出を規制する厳しい環境規則が市場拡大の原動力となっています。
市場力学
石油化学産業への投資の増加
石油化学プラントの存在は、洗剤、動物飼料、水処理、農業製品の消費増加とともに、今後数年間に米国での製品消費を増加させると予測されます。米国の石油化学産業への投資の増加は、触媒としての合成ゼオライトの需要を高めると予測されています。例えば、Chevron Phillips Chemicalは、2022年にテキサス州の新しいクラッカーの最終投資決定を発表し、2023年には米国メキシコ湾岸沿いの合弁石油化学コンプレックスで80億米ドルのFIDを開始する予定です。
さらに、リライアンス・インダストリーズ社とアブダビ国営石油会社は、アラブ首長国連邦で20億米ドルの石油化学プラントを開発することで合意しました。この合意により、Ta'zizに新たな合弁会社が設立されます。石油化学製品への投資の増加は、予測期間中の製品需要を押し上げると予想されます。
リン酸塩の使用制限
リン酸塩は従来、多くの洗剤に大量に使用されてきました。リン酸塩は動植物の成長を助ける栄養素であるため、洗剤の流出によって水域に高濃度で蓄積されると、水生生態系の均衡を崩し、水藻などの水生植物の急速な成長を誘発する可能性があります。また、水質汚染にもつながります。廃水とともに下水システムに含まれるリン酸塩の排出は、場所によっては規制されています。
その結果、世界各国の政府は、産業業務で使用される洗浄剤に含まれるリン酸塩の量を禁止または制限する厳しい規則を制定しています。例えば、米国では1994年以降、リン酸塩を含む洗濯用洗剤の使用が禁止されています。さらに英国では、(EU)No 259/2012のような規則により、洗濯用および食器洗い機用洗剤におけるリン酸塩の使用が制限されています。そのため、合成ゼオライトの必要性が高まっています。
厳しい規制と高い製造コスト
産業排出物や廃棄物の削減を目的とした環境規制は、合成ゼオライトの製造工程に影響を及ぼしています。規制を遵守することは操業コストを増加させる。持続可能で環境に優しい生産プロセスを導入することへの圧力が高まっています。これは技術革新に拍車をかける可能性がある一方で、研究開発に余分な支出を必要とします。
合成ゼオライトは、エネルギー集約的な高温法を用いて生産されます。エネルギー価格の変動、特に地政学的な緊張や供給途絶の間は、製造コストに劇的な影響を与える可能性があります。製造効率と製品品質を向上させるためには、最新の技術と設備が必要となり、多額の資本投資が必要となります。中小企業は、こうした高い参入障壁のために競争が困難になる可能性があります。
Overview
Global Synthetic Zeolites Market reached US$ 5.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 6.6 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
Synthetic zeolites have remarkable ion-exchange capacities, making them ideal for use as water softeners to remove calcium, magnesium and other ions. Due to several environmental regulations, zeolite 4A has replaced poly-condensed phosphate builders such as sodium tripolyphosphate, which was previously used in the detergent sector. According to figures from the China Cleaning Industry Association, sodium tripolyphosphate output and growth rates have decreased.
As the demand for phosphorus-containing products decreases, 4A zeolite has become increasingly important in the additives market. 4A zeolite has a strong exchange activity with calcium ions in water, as well as the ability to co-sequester insoluble contaminants and improve cleaning detergency. The main reason for this is the increased understanding of the damaging effects of phosphate-based detergent additives.
In 2023, North America is expected to be the second-dominant region with over 20% of the global synthetic zeolites market. The region's market growth is driven by the existence of well-established end-use industries that include petrochemicals, detergents and catalysts. The region is seeing strong development in shale gas production, which is increasing demand for synthetic zeolites. Furthermore, severe environmental rules regulating the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are driving market expansion.
Dynamics
Rising Investments in Petrochemical Industry
The existence of petrochemical plants, together with increased consumption of detergents, animal feed, water treatment and agricultural products, is predicted to raise product consumption in U.S. during the next few years. Growing investments in U.S. petrochemicals industry are predicted to boost demand for synthetic zeolite as a catalyst. For example, Chevron Phillips Chemical has indicated that it will announce its Final Investment Decision on a new cracker in Texas in 2022, then launch another FID of US$ 8 billion in a joint venture petrochemical complex along U.S. Gulf Coast in 2023.
Furthermore, Reliance Industries Ltd. and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. have agreed to develop a US$ 2.0 billion petrochemical plant in UAE. The agreement will result in the formation of a new joint venture at Ta'ziz. Increased investments in petrochemicals are expected to boost product demand over the predicted period.
Restrictions in Use of Phosphates
Phosphates have traditionally been used in substantial quantities in a number of detergents. Since phosphates are nutrients that aid in animal and plant growth, their high concentration in water bodies as a result of detergent runoff can disrupt the equilibrium of the aquatic ecosystem, triggering rapid growth of aquatic plants such as water algae. It can also lead to water contamination. The release of phosphates in sewage systems along with wastewater is regulated in some locations.
As a result, governments globally are enacting severe rules to prohibit or limit the amount of phosphates in cleaners used in industrial operations. For example, phosphate-containing laundry detergents have been banned in U.S. since 1994. Furthermore, in UK, rules such as (EU) No 259/2012 restrict the use of phosphate in laundry and dishwasher detergents. Thus, driving need for synthetic zeolite.
Stringent Regulations and High Production Costs
Environmental restrictions aiming at decreasing industrial emissions and waste have an impact on synthetic zeolite production processes. Compliance with the regulations increases operational costs. There is increasing pressure to implement sustainable and environmentally friendly production processes. While this can spur innovation, it also needs extra spending in R&D.
Synthetic zeolites are produced using energy-intensive, high-temperature methods. Fluctuating energy prices, particularly during geopolitical tensions or supply disruptions, can dramatically affect manufacturing costs. The requirement for modern technology and equipment to improve manufacturing efficiency and product quality necessitates significant capital investments. Smaller businesses may find it difficult to compete due to these high entry barriers.
The global synthetic zeolites market is segmented based on type, function, grade, application, end-user and region.
Rising Investments in Oil & Gas Drives the Segment Growth
Oil & gas is expected to be the dominant segment with over 30% of the market during the forecast period 2024-2031. Synthetic zeolites are utilized as catalysts in the oil and gas sector due to their higher activity, stability and selectivity in major conversion and upgrading processes when compared to their amorphous counterparts. The ongoing push for higher-quality transportation fuels and chemicals creates chances for further market demand.
Zeolites play a key role in increasing the pace of reaction in fluid catalytic cracking and hydrocracking, therefore refinery expansion is likely to boost segment growth. For example, in November 2021, the Indian Oil Corporation announced plans to increase its capacity by 25 million tons per year. The firm is anticipated to enhance its entire refining capacity from around 81 to 106 million tons per year by 2023-24.
Setup of New Petrochemical Plants in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is expected to be t he dominant region in the global synthetic zeolites market covering over 30% of the market. The region's market is expected to grow rapidly due to the development of new petrochemical plants, water recycling plants, detergent consumption and increased cement and animal feed production. For example, in April 2021, Kumho Mitsui Chemicals Inc. announced a US$ 358.1 million investment to expand its chemical manufacturing facilities in South Korea.
Furthermore, Lion Corporation intends to develop its detergent production facilities in Thailand and Myanmar, where the standard of living is continuously improving. The corporation has agreed to invest US$ 19.9 million in the development of the new factories. The increase in large-scale construction projects in Asia-Pacific will result in rising demand for cement, hence boosting the zeolite market growth during the forecast period.
The major global players in the market include Clariant, CWK Chemiewerk Bad Kostritz GmbH, W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn., KNT Group, BASF SE, Albemarle Corporation, Arkema, Tosoh Corporation, Honeywell International Inc. and Zeolyst International Inc.
Lockdowns and limitations in major producing countries hampered the mining and processing of raw materials required for synthetic zeolite manufacture. It led to supply constraints and increased raw material costs. Many manufacturing firms had to temporarily close or curtail operations owing to COVID-19 outbreaks among employees and rigorous health standards. The resulted in lower manufacturing capacity and delays in delivering orders.
The implementation of health and safety measures, such as social distancing and sanitization methods, raised manufacturers' operating costs. During the pandemic, global industrial output declined, particularly in the petrochemical industry, reducing demand for synthetic zeolites used as catalysts. Lower oil costs and lower gasoline use also contributed to decreased activity in this industry.
Russia-Ukraine War Impact
The conflict has disrupted the supply of raw materials needed to produce synthetic zeolites. Russia and Ukraine are both key producers of minerals and chemicals required for zeolite manufacturing. The war caused shortages and higher prices for certain raw materials. Russia is a significant exporter of oil and natural gas.
The war has resulted in higher globally energy prices, raising manufacturing costs for synthetic zeolite manufacturers. The cost increases have a particularly significant impact on energy-intensive operations in zeolite manufacture. The war's volatility has resulted in considerable changes in synthetic zeolite pricing. Uncertainty in the availability and cost of raw materials makes it difficult for manufacturers to maintain constant pricing and profitability.
