The global Catalyst Carrier market size is predicted to grow from US$ 5914 million in 2025 to US$ 7311 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2025 to 2031.

Catalyst carriers are porous substrate materials that are used in the chemicals and petrochemicals industries for refining liquids and gases into intermediate and end-use products. Common carrier materials include:

• Ceramic materials, such as cordierite, alumina, silicon carbide, etc., are often used in automobile exhaust catalysts.
• Metal oxides, such as silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, etc., are often used in petrochemical and fine chemical catalysts.
• Activated carbon is used for adsorption and catalytic reactions.
• Zeolite: has a unique pore structure and acid sites, used in a variety of catalytic reactions.

In most cases, catalysts require the use of carriers. Carriers (also called support materials) play an important role in the catalytic process. The main reasons include:

1. Increasing the specific surface area: Carriers usually have a highly porous structure, which can greatly increase the specific surface area of the catalyst, thereby improving its activity and efficiency.
2. Dispersing active components: Carriers can evenly disperse the active components of the catalyst to avoid agglomeration, so that the catalyst can contact the reactants more effectively during the reaction.
3. Improving stability: Carriers can provide mechanical support, enhance the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the catalyst, and prevent damage due to high temperature or mechanical stress during use.
4. Adjusting the reaction environment: Some carrier materials can adjust the reaction environment, such as providing acidic or basic sites, to further improve the catalytic efficiency.
