Drivers

• Growing Need for Synthetic Zeolites as Liquid Catalytic Cracking Catalysts

The growing development of synthetic zeolites as liquid fracturing agents is primarily driving the market growth. Hydrocracking is a process of breaking down heavy hydrocarbon molecules into lighter hydrocarbon molecules to produce fuel in refining process Thus, the global demand for petroleum has increased the consumption of resources, thereby increasing the growth of global synthetic zeolites market.

Increasing Construction Activity Will Boost the Natural Zeolites

• Natural zeolite is widely used in the manufacture of building materials including cement and concrete, as it helps to improve the mechanical strength and enhance the durability of cement & concrete composites It is widely used in lightweight concrete in the production of. It reinforces the concrete fiber longer and prevents cracks from forming. Moreover, it drives market growth as it is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution that is desirable in the construction industry.

Restraints

• Influence of Toxicity Properties of Synthesized Zeolites

The toxicity of synthetic zeolites, and the associated health risks, are barriers to their widespread use. This factor is expected to restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period. Addressing health concerns and developing safer alternatives are essential to mitigate these limitations and encourage market expansion.

• Threat of Substitution as a Catalyst Can Limit the Diversification of Materials

The product is used in various application industries; however, availability of new products may restrain market growth. Increased water processing for water treatment and wastewater treatment is expected to boost demand. However, availability of chemical compounds such as enzymes and metals as alternatives to molecular sieve catalysis may restrain market growth. Furthermore, fluctuations in fuel prices can increase transportation costs, which is a deterrent in the market.
