2022-2027. The aluminum nickel catalyst is mainly utilized in the hydrogenation
of various functional groups, including nitro, azide, carbon-carbon double
bond, nitrile and oxime groups. This catalyst is also applied in hydrogenation
reactions, involving very high pressure and temperature. Moreover, aluminum
nickel catalysts are utilized in a range of other hydrogenation applications
such as nitro compounds, carbonyls, alcohols, nitriles, amines, acetylenes, olefins
and saturates. Additionally, they are extensively used in reductive amination, ammonolysis
of alcohol and reductive alkylation. The end-use of these hydrogenation
reactions is found in the petrochemical, food processing and petroleum
industries. In the petroleum industry, hydrogenation is applied in hydrocracking,
to break heavy crude’s long hydrogen carbon chains into lighter petroleum
products such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. Thus, all these exhibit characteristics
of hydrogenation make it a preferred choice over the other applications of Aluminum Nickel Catalyst that are driving its
segmental growth.
Aluminum Nickel Catalyst Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry
The chemical industry held the largest share of the Aluminum Nickel Catalyst Market in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Aluminum nickel catalyst includes fine particles of an aluminum nickel alloy. In the chemical industry, this catalyst presents a high level of performance when utilized in catalytic hydrogenation reactions. These reactions are applied in the production of agrochemicals intermediates, rubber additives, dye, sorbitol and drug intermediates. According to International Trade Administration (ITA), Indonesia is aiming to obtain an investment of US$31.5 billion in the chemical industry by 2023 and to decrease the sector’s imports by 40%. The government estimates to reap the advantages of various new chemical plants that are currently underway. Moreover, in 2022, INEOS Nitriles invested in a world-scale Acetonitrile production facility at their key operating site in Köln, Germany. Acetonitrile is a key component in the agrochemicals and bioscience sectors. Thus, with the rising chemical sector, the market for Aluminum Nickel Catalysts would further increase over the forecast period.
