The growth in the global precious metal catalysts market can be attributed to the rising investments towards technological innovations. Growing demand in automobile and pharmaceutical applications, along with environmental concerns and their legal implications is the key factor fueling the growth of the market. However, factors such as performance dependency on temperature & loss of activity through poising and thermal deactivation and use of new nano-particle catalysts limit the growth of the market.
The automobile segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period owing to a result of the increasingly stringent emission standards and the rising automotive industry. The recently developed emission standards demand added improvements in catalyst technologies to successfully eliminate toxic substances from car exhausts, which will drive the precious metal catalysts market growth through the automobile segment.
Platinum segment is estimated to lead the precious metal catalysts market during forecast period owing to the platinum catalyst helps to decrease the CO2 emission. The dominant position of the platinum segment can be attributed to the increasing the sale of diesel vehicles in Europe and North America. It is largely used in the automobile sector to decrease the effect of pollutants released by the industrial processing units.
Europe is projected to the largest market share of the precious metal catalysts market, wherein Germany accounted for the leading country-level market. Stringent norms for emission for automobiles imposed by the government and the rapidly growing industrial sector in Europe are the few factors propelling the precious metal catalysts market in the region. North America is another prominent in the precious metal catalysts market owing to the reviving automotive industry with rising demand for lightweight vehicles.
