The global zeolite molecular sieve market size is expected to reach USD 5.33 billion by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand for energy coupled with stress on green technologies has resulted in growing demand for zeolite molecular sieves as catalysts for petroleum refining. Higher efficiency and yield, and non-toxicity property of zeolites has resulted in the extensive use of the mineral for catalytic operations. In addition, growing demand for adsorbents owing to rising awareness regarding presence of hazardous organic materials in wastewater is expected to augment zeolite molecular sieve market demand over the forecast period.
Detergents accounted for over 72.8% of the global zeolite molecular sieve market volume share in 2023. Zeolite molecular sieves are used in detergents owing to its ability to produce demineralized water through calcium ion exchange which helps in the removal of any kind of dirt. This has resulted in a tremendous demand for zeolite molecular sieves from detergent segment. Zeolite molecular sieves being increasingly used in the petroleum industry as catalysts which is anticipated to drive market growth.
