DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Global Zeolite Market 2016-2020” report to their offering.

The global zeolite market to grow at a CAGR of 7.86% in terms of units shipped during the period 2016-2020.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global zeolite market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the five prominent vendors operating in the market.

According to the report, growth in refinery industry will be a key driver for market growth. Zeolites are used as catalysts in oil refining due to their extraordinary efficiency of oil refining, cheaper cost, and ease of customization for specialized applications. Zeolite catalysts have been the basis for increasing the yield of gasoline and octane. These catalysts also aid in the production of cleaner fuels and lubricants with improved performance properties.

Zeolite Y has remained a major component in chemical processes like FCC since the 1970s as it provides greater gasoline yield with the greatest degree of catalytic stability. Chemical processes such as fuel conditioning (employed in fuel management and purification) also require zeolites.

Further, the report states that higher costs of logistics will be a major challenge for the market. Zeolites are bulky and are transported by rail carriers or highways. End-use industries have been significantly affected by the logistics costs since rail carriers and highways are the primary modes of supply of zeolites. This in turn has caused demand-supply outages, causing an interruption in the overall production process. Unstable fuel prices are resulting in increasing transportation costs. The availability of carriers at the required time and locality also poses a threat to zeolite manufacturers.
