簡介目錄

預計到 2025 年貴金屬催化劑市場規模將達到 447.68 噸,到 2030 年將達到 464.72 噸。

貴金屬催化劑-市場-IMG1

此次溫和擴張凸顯了市場需求正從以銷售驅動轉向以效率主導,因為生產商優先考慮降低金屬負載量和更嚴格的沉澱控制。全球更嚴格的排放法規、對氫能經濟日益成長的投資以及煉油廠的升級改造,即便純電動車減少了道路上內燃機汽車的數量,也將維持催化劑的消費。主要主導之間的整合以及對回收的大力投資正在降低原料風險,而鈀替代鉑的策略正在重塑競爭格局。儘管汽車排放法規仍佔據主導地位,但綠色氫電解、燃料電池和電子材料的需求正在快速成長,這預示著貴金屬催化劑市場正在走向結構多元化。

全球貴金屬觸媒市場趨勢及洞察

更嚴格的廢氣和固定式廢氣排放法規

將於2027年生效的歐盟7排放標準要求輕型車輛將氮氧化物排放量降低50%,而中國的國家標準VI(b)將重型車輛的合規期限延長至2025年,從而維持了對汽車催化劑中銠和鉑的需求。此外,美國環保署的Tier 4柴油引擎排放標準也推動了固定式引擎的需求,工業用燃氣渦輪機業者指定使用能夠將氮氧化物排放量降低至10 ppm或更低的貴金屬選擇性催化還原(SCR)系統。由於各地排放標準不盡相同,催化劑供應商不得不針對多個地區制定相應的配方,這推動了催化劑銷售的強勁成長,儘管車輛因電氣化轉型而導致負載容量下降。

綠氫能的興起將推動對銥/鉑催化劑的需求。

PEM電解每千瓦容量消耗0.3-0.7克銥,而以德國、日本和韓國主導的全球綠氫能計劃正在增加銥和鉑金的使用量。田中貴金屬公司推出了雙功能PEM催化劑,該催化劑在降低銥用量20%的同時,也能有效抑制氣體交叉。

鉑族金屬價格持續波動與供應鏈衝擊

南非的電力中斷和俄羅斯的出口擔憂導致鉑金和鈀金價格波動,這使得受固定價格合約約束的催化劑製造商的採購變得更加複雜。汽車製造商目前正在對沖庫存並加快低負載設計的研發,但兩年的認證週期暫時為他們提供了一定的靈活性。

細分市場分析

鉑金繼續主導貴金屬催化劑市場,預計2024年市佔率將達到40.86%。鉑金的跨產業通用性將使其需求在替代趨勢改變時仍保持穩定。相較之下,銥預計到2030年將以2.98%的複合年成長率成長,成為所有金屬中成長最快的。銥基貴金屬催化劑市場規模預計將從2025年的19噸成長至2024年的23噸。鈀、銠和釕將繼續保持小眾成長,主要與汽車和選擇性加氫領域相關。東京理科大學率先研發的鈀奈米片具有與鉑金相當的析氫反應(HER)性能,其應用可望在長期內重塑催化劑的成本模式。

粉末催化劑預計到2024年將維持52.91%的市場佔有率,這主要得益於其在精細化工、製藥和煉油加氫處理等領域的廣泛應用。粉末催化劑易於混合、再生和回收,因此應用率很高。然而,由於下一代汽油顆粒過濾器和柴油選擇性催化還原(SCR)裝置需要高強度的熱循環,預計到2030年,塗層整體式催化劑的複合年成長率將達到1.60%,成為成長最快的催化劑。

在固定台反應器中,擠出成型和顆粒成型的材料佔據市場主導地位,其優勢在於壓力降低和機械強度高。具有特定通道密度的蜂巢結構能夠增強固定式氮氧化物去除系統的質傳性能,特別適用於燃氣渦輪機廢氣處理。BASF的X3D等尖端積層製造技術能夠實現拓樸最佳化的整體式結構,將表面積/體積比提升至1500 m²/m³以上,進而降低單位處理量下鉑族金屬(PGM)的用量。

區域分析

在快速工業化、嚴格的國家排放標準以及全球最雄心勃勃的綠色氫能推廣計畫的推動下,亞太地區將在2024年佔據貴金屬催化劑市場39.77%的佔有率。光是中國就計劃在2030年新增100吉瓦電解槽能,將大大推動銥和鉑的需求。印度的Bharat Stage VII排放標準對觸媒轉換器提出了日益複雜的要求,而日本在燃料電池汽車領域的主導,也推動了國內對高純度鉑塗層的需求。

北美仍然是領先的生產地和消費地。儘管預計到2025年電動車銷量將超過新車註冊量的15%,但嚴格的第三階段汽油硫含量限制和美國環保署(EPA)非道路柴油法規將維持國內催化劑的使用。雖然大部分煉油活動發生在美國,美國的鉑族金屬(PGM)礦業提供了上游供應保障。墨西哥不斷發展的汽車組裝廠正在使用先進的三元金屬轉換器以符合美墨加協定(USMCA)的要求。

在歐洲,全球最嚴格的排放法規維持了催化劑的複雜性,而歐盟的「Fit-for-55」強制令加速了純電動車的普及,從而降低了汽車催化劑的長期需求量。南美洲以及中東和非洲地區供應關鍵原料並滿足特定需求。沙烏地阿拉伯和阿拉伯聯合大公國正在規劃藍氫和綠氫的大型企劃,這將使海灣地區在未來十年成為新興的貴金屬催化劑市場。

第7章 市場機會與未來展望

簡介目錄
Product Code: 61697

The precious metal catalysts market size stands at 447.68 tons in 2025 and is forecast to reach 464.72 tons by 2030, translating to a steady 0.75% CAGR.

Precious Metal Catalysts - Market - IMG1

The modest expansion underscores a shift from volume-led growth toward efficiency-driven demand as producers prioritize lower metal loadings and tighter deposition control. Stricter global emission norms, widening hydrogen economy investments, and refinery upgrades sustain catalyst consumption even as pure battery-electric vehicles reduce internal-combustion volumes. Consolidation among leading suppliers and aggressive recycling investments temper raw-material risk, while substitution strategies reshape the competitive landscape, chiefly palladium-to-platinum. Across applications, automotive emission controls remain dominant, but green-hydrogen electrolysis, fuel cells, and electronic materials provide the fastest-rising demand avenues, signalling structural diversification of the precious metal catalysts market.

Global Precious Metal Catalysts Market Trends and Insights

Stricter Tailpipe and Stationary Emission Regulations

Euro 7 standards take effect from 2027, mandating 50% lower NOx for light-duty vehicles, while China National VI(b) extends heavy-duty compliance through 2025, sustaining rhodium-platinum demand in autocatalysts. EPA Tier 4 diesel engine rules simultaneously drive stationary demand, and industrial gas-turbine operators now specify precious-metal SCR systems capable of sub-10 ppm NOx. Divergent regional standards force catalyst suppliers to maintain multi-jurisdictional formulations, reinforcing resilient volume growth despite shrinking per-vehicle loadings in a more electrified fleet.

Green-hydrogen Build-out Driving Iridium/Platinum Catalyst Demand

PEM electrolysis stacks consume 0.3-0.7 g of iridium per kW capacity, and global green-hydrogen projects led by Germany, Japan, and South Korea lift iridium and platinum intensity. Tanaka Precious Metals has introduced dual-function PEM catalysts that slash iridium usage by 20% while improving gas crossover suppression.

Persistent PGM Price Volatility and Supply-chain Shocks

South African load-shedding and Russian export uncertainty cause platinum and palladium price swings that complicate procurement for catalyst makers locked into fixed-price contracts. Automakers now hedge inventory and accelerate lower-loading designs, yet qualification cycles stretch two years, cushioning near-term flexibility.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Rising Demand for Higher-octane Clean Fuels from New Petro-refining Capacity
  2. Substitution of Palladium with Platinum in Tri-metal Autocatalysts
  3. Growing EV Penetration Reducing ICE Autocatalyst Volumes

For complete list of drivers and restraints, kindly check the Table Of Contents.

Segment Analysis

Platinum continued to dominate the precious metal catalysts market with 40.86% share in 2024. The metal's cross-sector versatility secures lasting demand even as substitution trends evolve. In contrast, iridium is forecast to log a 2.98% CAGR through 2030, the fastest among all metals, reflecting its indispensable PEM role. The precious metal catalysts market size for iridium-based systems is projected to rise from 19 tons in 2025 to 23 tons by 2030 at the stated CAGR. Palladium, rhodium, and ruthenium retain niche growth, heavily tied to automotive and selective hydrogenation. The adoption of palladium nanosheets with platinum-equivalent HER performance, pioneered by Tokyo University of Science, may reshape cost hierarchies over the long term.

Powder catalysts retained a 52.91% share in 2024, sustained by widespread use in fine chemicals, pharma, and refinery hydrotreating. They are easy to blend, regenerate, and recycle, which keeps adoption high. Wash-coated monoliths, however, are on track for the quickest 1.60% CAGR to 2030, owing to next-generation gasoline particulate filters and diesel SCR blocks that demand high-duty thermal cycling.

Extrudates and pellets hold material shares in fixed-bed reactors, benefitting from low pressure drops and mechanical resilience. Honeycomb structures with engineered channel densities provide enhanced mass transfer in stationary NOx abatement systems, especially for gas-turbine exhaust. Cutting-edge additive techniques such as BASF's X3D now allow topology-optimized monoliths that push surface-to-volume ratios above 1,500 m2/m3, translating into lower PGM per unit throughput.

The Precious Metal Catalysts Market Report Segments the Industry by Metal Type (Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, and More), Catalyst Form (Powder, Pellet/Bead, and More), Manufacturing Process (Incipient Wetness Impregnation, Electroless and Electrochemical Deposition, and More), Application (Automotive, Pharmaceutical, Petrochemicals, and Other Applications), and Geography (Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and More).

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific controlled 39.77% of the precious metal catalysts market in 2024, fueled by rapid industrialization, stricter national emission standards, and the world's most ambitious green-hydrogen rollouts. China alone plans 100 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030, prompting robust iridium and platinum uptake. India's Bharat Stage VII norms advance catalytic converter complexity, while Japan's leadership in fuel-cell vehicles lifts domestic demand for high-purity platinum-coated membranes.

North America remains an influential producer and consumer. Tight Tier 3 gasoline sulfur limits and EPA non-road diesel rules uphold domestic catalyst usage, even as EV sales top 15% of new registrations in 2025. Canada's PGM mining sector provides upstream security, although most refining happens in the United States. Mexico's growing vehicle assembly plants utilize advanced tri-metal converters to meet USMCA alignment.

Europe exhibits dual dynamics: the strictest emission caps globally sustain catalyst complexity, but the EU Fit-for-55 mandate accelerates BEV uptake, eroding long-term autocatalyst volumes. South America and the Middle-East, and Africa supply important raw materials and niche demand. Saudi Arabia and the UAE plan blue and green hydrogen megaprojects, positioning the Gulf as an emerging precious metal catalysts market over the next decade.
