Refinery Process Chemicals Market Size

Refinery Process Chemicals Market size is anticipated to cross USD 30 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of refinery process chemicals was over USD 19 Billion. One of the key growth drivers for the market is anticipated to be the continuously rising demand for fuels, particularly from the transportation sector. OPEC predicted in its 2023 World Oil Outlook that global fuel demand is estimated to reach 116 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2045, up from 99.6 million bpd in 2022. However, specialized chemicals and methods must be used for cost-effective and efficient fuel generation. As a result, increased demand for transportation fuels drives the demand for refinery chemicals.

Furthermore, growing environmental awareness and tightening regulatory standards necessitate the utilization of refinery process chemicals to reduce emissions, optimize energy consumption, and mitigate environmental impacts. For instance, in many nations, a large number of states, local, and tribal governments are implementing clean energy policies to lower energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, enhance public health and air quality, and accomplish economic development objectives. Compliance with emissions reduction targets and regulations often entails using specialized chemicals that aid pollutant capture and abatement. In light of this, the demand for refinery process chemicals market is predicted to grow.
