ハイドロクラッカー市場の2030年までの予測：タイプ別、触媒タイプ別、原料別、用途別、地域別の世界分析

Stratistics MRCによると、ハイドロクラッカーの世界市場は2024年に718億9,000万米ドルを占め、予測期間中のCAGRは8.6%で成長し、2030年には1,179億米ドルに達する見込みです。

ハイドロクラッカーは、重質炭化水素をディーゼル、ジェット燃料、ガソリンなどの軽量で高価値の製品に変換する精製に不可欠な装置です。ハイドロクラッキングと呼ばれるこのプロセスでは、触媒の存在下で高圧、高温、水素ガスが使用されます。環境要件に適合するため、ハイドロクラッカーは、真空軽油や残渣などの重質油留分を、よりクリーンな低硫黄燃料に変換するために製造されます。

よりクリーンな燃料への需要の高まり

超低硫黄ディーゼルやガソリンの基準など、排出量削減を目的とした厳しい環境規制が、よりクリーンな燃料への需要を高めています。この変化により、製油所は操業の近代化を余儀なくされており、ハイドロクラッカーは、重質原油を高品質の低硫黄燃料に変換するため、このプロセスに不可欠です。ハイドロクラッカー・ユニットへの投資は、市場の要求と規制要件を満たすための需要に後押しされています。市場が拡大しているのは、各国が燃費と脱炭素を優先する中で、ハイドロクラッカーが持続可能な精製に必要になってきているからです。

高い資本コストと運転コスト

ハイドロクラッカーの高い運転・資本コストは、新たな取り組みや改善への投資を抑制し、市場の拡大を妨げる可能性があります。小規模な製油所は、高い初期導入コストと継続的な保守・運転コストに二の足を踏むかもしれないです。このコスト障壁により、水素化分解技術の採用が遅れ、市場全体の生産能力増加に影響を及ぼす可能性があります。その結果、市場の拡大を妨げることになります。

エネルギー消費の増加

特に発展途上国におけるエネルギー消費の増加が、輸送用燃料と石油化学製品の需要を押し上げています。産業活動と人口増加が続くと、効率的な燃料生産への要求が高まる。このような状況において、ハイドロクラッカーは、製油所がより重い原油をより軽く、ガソリンやディーゼルのような市場性の高い商品に変えることを可能にするため、不可欠です。ハイドロクラッキング技術への投資はこの動向に後押しされ、環境規制を維持しながら市場の需要を満たすために製油所の能力と効率も向上させ、市場拡大を促進します。その結果、市場の拡大が促進されます。

原油価格の変動

原油価格の変動は、製油所にとって財務上の不確実性をもたらすことで、市場にマイナスの影響を与えます。原油価格の下落は利幅の縮小につながり、製油所はハイドロクラッキング技術やメンテナンスへの投資を縮小せざるを得なくなります。その結果、プロジェクトのスケジュールが遅れ、生産能力の拡大が妨げられる可能性があります。さらに、価格変動は長期計画を複雑にし、製油所がコストのかかるハイドロクラッカーのアップグレードに取り組むことを困難にするため、市場の成長を妨げます。

COVID-19の影響：

COVID-19の大流行により、戸締まりや旅行制限の中で輸送用燃料の需要が減少したため、ハイドロクラッカー市場は混乱しました。製油所の操業は減速し、ハイドロクラッカーのプロジェクトやメンテナンスの遅れにつながった。しかし、パンデミック後に燃料消費が回復したため、市場は回復しました。この危機はまた、よりクリーンな燃料へのシフトを加速させ、製油所が効率向上と環境コンプライアンスのために水素化分解機をアップグレードするよう促しました。

予測期間中、ゼオライト系触媒部門が最大となる見込み

ゼオライト系触媒は、重質炭化水素からディーゼル、ジェット燃料、石油化学原料などの価値ある製品への転換を可能にするため、予測期間中、ゼオライト系触媒部門が最大となる見込みです。ゼオライト触媒の高い熱安定性と酸性度は、より深い分解を促進し、製油所の収率を最適化します。さらにゼオライト触媒は、硫黄分やその他の不純物の除去を促進することで、よりクリーンな燃料の製造をサポートします。製油所がより厳しい環境規制を満たし、収益性を最大化することを目指しているため、ゼオライトをベースとする高度な触媒の需要は伸び続けています。

予測期間中にCAGRが最も高くなると予想されるのは残渣アップグレーディングセグメントです。

残渣アップグレーディングセグメントは、資源利用を最大化し、廃棄物を削減し、低品位燃料として使用される残渣を変換することで収益性を高めるため、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれます。ハイドロクラッキングによる残渣アップグレーディングは、硫黄と炭素の排出を低減することで環境コンプライアンスもサポートします。製油所が原油品質の変化や燃料規格の厳格化に対応するにつれて、残渣アップグレード機能を備えたハイドロクラッカーの需要は伸び続けています。

最大のシェアを占める地域

北米は、製油所が重質原油をディーゼルやジェット燃料のような高価値製品に転換し、操業効率と収益性を改善できることから、予測期間中最大の市場シェアを占めると予測されます。よりクリーンな燃料への需要の高まりと石油化学製品生産へのシフトが、ハイドロクラッカーの採用をさらに後押ししています。北米がエネルギー転換と精製アップグレードに注力する中、ハイドロクラッカーは製油所の競争力維持に貢献すると同時に、より厳しい燃料基準への適合を確保し、国内のエネルギー需要を支えています。

CAGRが最も高い地域：

アジア太平洋地域は、特に中国やインドのような国々における輸送用燃料の需要が市場拡大の原動力となっているため、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRを記録すると予測されています。さらに、ハイドロクラッカーは製油所の重質原油処理の最適化に役立ち、収益性を高める。また、製油所の生産量の多様化に伴う石油化学製品へのシフトも、ハイドロクラッカーの採用を後押ししています。同市場は、同地域における燃料品質の向上とエネルギー安全保障の確保に重要な役割を果たしています。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Hydrocracker Market is accounted for $71.89 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $117.9 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. A hydrocracker is an essential refinery unit that converts heavy hydrocarbons into lighter, higher-value products such as diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline. High pressure, high temperatures, and hydrogen gas in the presence of catalysts are all used in the process, which is called hydro cracking. In order to comply with environmental requirements, hydrocrackers are made to transform heavy oil fractions, such as vacuum gas oil and residue, into cleaner, low-sulfur fuels.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing Demand for Cleaner Fuels

Stringent environmental rules aimed at decreasing emissions, such as standards for ultra-low sulfur diesel and gasoline, are driving up demand for cleaner fuel. This change forces refineries to modernize their operations, and hydrocrackers are essential in this process since they transform heavy crude into high-quality, low-sulfur fuels. Investment in hydrocracker units is encouraged by the demand in order to satisfy market demands and regulatory requirements. The market is expanding because hydrocrackers are becoming necessary for sustainable refining as nations prioritize fuel economy and decarbonization.

Restraint:

High Capital and Operating Costs

Hydrocrackers' high operating and capital expenses can impede market expansion by discouraging investment in new initiatives and improvements. Smaller refiners may be put off by the high initial installation costs as well as continuing maintenance and operating costs. This cost barrier might cause hydrocracking technology to be adopted more slowly, which would affect the market's overall capacity increase. As a result, it prevents the market from expanding.

Opportunity:

Rising Energy Consumption

Rising energy consumption, particularly in developing nations, has driven up demand for transportation fuels and petrochemicals. The requirement for efficient fuel production increases as industrial activity and population growth continue. In this situation, hydrocrackers are essential because they allow refineries to transform heavier crude oils into lighter, more marketable goods like gasoline and diesel. Investment in hydro cracking technology is fueled by this trend, which also increases refinery capacity and efficiency to satisfy market demands while maintaining environmental regulations, thus promoting market expansion. As a result, it promotes market expansion.

Threat:

Fluctuating Crude Oil Prices

Fluctuating crude oil prices negatively impact the market by creating financial uncertainty for refiners. Low prices may lead to reduced margins, prompting refineries to scale back investments in hydro cracking technology and maintenance. This can delay project timelines and hinder capacity expansion. Additionally, volatility complicates long-term planning, making it difficult for refiners to commit to costly hydrocracker upgrades, thus it hampers the growth of the market.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the hydrocracker market due to reduced demand for transportation fuels amid lockdowns and travel restrictions. Refinery operations slowed, leading to delays in hydrocracker projects and maintenance. However, the market rebounded as fuel consumption recovered post-pandemic. The crisis also accelerated the shift toward cleaner fuels, prompting refineries to upgrade hydrocrackers for enhanced efficiency and environmental compliance.

The zeolite-based catalysts segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The zeolite-based catalysts segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period as these catalysts enable better conversion of heavy hydrocarbons into valuable products like diesel, jet fuel, and petrochemical feed stocks. Their high thermal stability and acidity facilitate deeper cracking, optimizing refinery yields. Additionally, zeolite catalysts support the production of cleaner fuels by promoting the removal of sulfur and other impurities. As refineries aim to meet stricter environmental regulations and maximize profitability, the demand for advanced zeolite-based catalysts continues to grow.

The residue upgrading segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The residue upgrading segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period because it maximizes resource utilization, reduces waste, and enhances profitability by converting residues that would otherwise be used as low-grade fuel. Residue upgrading through hydro cracking also supports environmental compliance by lowering sulfur and carbon emissions. As refineries adapt to shifting crude oil qualities and stricter fuel standards, the demand for hydrocrackers with residue upgrading capabilities continues to grow.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period as it enables refineries to convert heavy crude into higher-value products like diesel and jet fuel, improving operational efficiency and profitability. The growing demand for cleaner fuels and the shift toward petrochemical production further drive hydrocracker adoption. As North America focuses on energy transition and refining upgrades, hydrocrackers help refineries remain competitive while ensuring compliance with stricter fuel standards and supporting domestic energy needs.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to demand for transportation fuels, especially in countries like China and India, drives market expansion. Additionally, hydrocrackers help refineries optimize heavy crude processing, enhancing profitability. The shift toward petrochemicals as refineries diversify their outputs also boosts hydrocracker adoption. This market plays a key role in improving fuel quality and ensuring energy security in the region.
