Aluminum-nickel Catalyst Market

COVID-19 Impact on Aluminum-nickel Catalyst Market

• The COVID-19 outbreak hindered the demand for aluminum-nickel catalyst. Governments of various countries across the globe enforced lockdown measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus. This resulted in slowdown and even halt in manufacturing operations, as well as general social activities.
• China constitutes the major demand for aluminum-nickel catalyst from many industries such as paints & dyes, polymers, chemical, and agrochemical. The COVID-19 disease started in China. Strict lockdowns were imposed in the country to control the spread. Trade activities with China were severely affected, which resulted in disruption in supply and demand. This also affected the aluminum-nickel catalyst market adversely, as supply from China was affected.
• Restriction and lockdowns affected the automobile sector. Transportation activities came to a halt. This adversely affected the demand for aluminum-nickel catalyst in rubber and petroleum industries.

Key Drivers of Aluminum-nickel Catalyst Market

• Aluminum-nickel catalyst is a high performance catalyst that is employed in a wide range of applications in different industries. Demand for aluminum-nickel catalyst is constant in petroleum as well as rubber, paint, and agrochemical industries. Rise in fuel consumption and increase in demand for aluminum-nickel catalyst in agrochemical and rubber industries is driving the aluminum-nickel catalyst market.
• Its effectiveness as a catalyst at very economical cost is another factor boosting the aluminum-nickel catalyst market. It is preferred over many other catalysts due to its lower cost as well as properties as a catalyst.

Restraints of Aluminum-nickel Catalyst Market

• Aluminum-nickel catalyst exhibits acute toxicity and has flammable nature due to atmospheric condition. This is expected to restrain the global aluminum-nickel catalyst market in the near future.

Asia Pacific to Constitute Significant Share of Global Aluminum-nickel Catalyst Market

• In terms of region, the global aluminum-nickel catalyst market can be split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
• Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the aluminum-nickel catalyst market as major end-use industries such as automobile, chemical, and agrochemical have prominent presence in the region. Automobile industry in India and China is growing rapidly and has thus boosted the demand for aluminum-nickel catalyst in the rubber industry. This is likely to boost the aluminum-nickel catalyst market during the forecast period.
• North America and Europe are also key consumers of aluminum-nickel catalyst. Petroleum as well as rubber industries along with chemical and agrochemical industries are expected to generate continuous demand for aluminum-nickel catalyst in the near future.
