The Intelligence Report
Business Shifts in the Global Catalytic Process Industries, 2027–2033
Market data is easy to find; sound judgment about what it means is not. The 2027 edition of TCGR’s Intelligence Report examines how the catalytic process industries are adjusting to changes in energy supply, policy, feedstocks and technology.
It covers more segments than the 2025 edition and sizes every market from two directions, informed by direct input from industry participants.

What’s new in the 2027 edition
Broader segment coverage
New depth in refining beyond the core units, including hydrogen and sulfur management, light-ends upgrading, lubes and specialty hydroprocessing, and renewable-feed hydroprocessing for renewable diesel and SAF. Coverage extends to aromatic derivatives downstream of BTX, more oxidation and intermediates value chains, specialty polymer catalysts, and stationary emissions control by technology and end-use industry.
Two methods, cross-checked
Each market is sized bottom-up, from unit capacity, catalyst demand and replacement cycles, and top-down, from macro demand, feedstock and product data. Where the two agree, confidence is higher; where they diverge, the gap points to what deserves a closer look.
Grounded in industry relationships
TCGR’s in-house analysts and the Dialog Group® network of producers, licensors, suppliers and end users, built over four decades, add context on unpublished commercial and technical developments that published data alone cannot provide.
Special feature: Two Lenses on the Transition
A global, scenario-based view of how the energy transition could shift catalyst demand by volume, value and segment, tested against India: its refining and petrochemical build-out, domestic catalyst supply, and which hydrogen, ammonia and biofuels programs are most likely to generate catalyst demand, and when.
