Middle East Refinery Catalysts Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Material (Zeolite, Metallic, Chemical Compound), By Application (FCC Catalyst, Alkylation Catalysts), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2033
Middle East Refinery Catalysts Market Summary
The Middle East refinery catalysts market size was estimated at USD 1,103.94 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,418.44 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2025 to 2033. Since the Middle East is one of the largest global hubs for crude oil production, refinery catalysts are extensively used to improve process efficiency, enhance product quality, and comply with evolving environmental regulations.
Catalysts such as fluid catalytic cracking (FCC), hydroprocessing, and alkylation catalysts are widely adopted across refineries to maximize output of high-value products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. Growing investment in refinery expansions and modernization projects is a key factor driving catalyst demand in the region
The Middle East refinery catalysts industry outlook is also shaped by the region's strategic shift toward cleaner and higher-value fuels. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are investing in upgrading refinery complexes to produce low-sulfur fuels in line with international standards such as IMO 2020. This is increasing the need for advanced hydroprocessing catalysts and desulfurization technologies. Additionally, the rising domestic consumption of petrochemical feedstocks has strengthened demand for catalysts that enhance naphtha production and efficiency in downstream applications.
Furthermore, global energy transition trends are influencing long-term market dynamics. While crude oil remains the backbone of the Middle East economy, refineries are under pressure to adapt to stricter environmental regulations and a gradual shift toward cleaner energy sources. This is expected to accelerate the adoption of next-generation refinery catalysts that enable higher operational flexibility, improved energy efficiency, and reduced carbon footprints. Overall, the Middle East refinery catalysts market is projected to witness steady growth, supported by both short-term refinery capacity expansions and long-term sustainability-driven innovation.
