Japan catalyst market size reached USD 1.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.94% during 2025-2033. The ongoing R&D efforts, which have led to the emergence of advanced catalysts that offer superior performance, selectivity, and efficiency, are driving the market.

A catalyst refers to a substance that accelerates or initiates a chemical reaction without being consumed. It facilitates the conversion of reactants into products by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. In various industrial processes, catalysts play a crucial role in enhancing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. They are widely utilized in the production of numerous everyday products, including fuels, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. Catalysts can be classified into several types, such as homogeneous catalysts, which are in the same phase as the reactants, and heterogeneous catalysts, which exist in a different phase. Furthermore, enzymatic catalysts, a subclass of heterogeneous catalysts, are essential in biological systems, driving various biochemical reactions. The development of novel catalysts has gained significance in the realm of sustainable chemistry, aiming to promote environmentally friendly practices and minimize the generation of harmful by-products.
