According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Ammoximation Catalyst market size was valued at US$ 34.26 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 43.10 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.3% during review period.
Ammoximation catalysts are heterogeneous oxidation catalysts used to directly convert ketone compounds into their corresponding ketoximes using ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Commercially available products are based on titanium-silicon molecular sieves, with TS-1 being the most mature and widely used type. In the cyclohexanone ammoximation process, the catalyst facilitates the one-step synthesis of cyclohexanone oxime from cyclohexanone, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide; the oxime is subsequently converted into caprolactam via the Beckmann rearrangement. This route eliminates the ammonium salt by-products, corrosion issues, and complex neutralization steps associated with the traditional hydroxylamine salt method, making it a key catalytic technology for the green production of caprolactam.
Upstream raw materials in the industry chain primarily include silicon sources (such as tetraethyl orthosilicate and silica sol), titanium sources (such as tetrabutyl titanate, tetraisopropyl titanate, or titanium tetrachloride), and template agents (such as tetrapropylammonium hydroxide), as well as alkalis, water, seed crystals, and surface modifiers; the production of shaped catalysts also requires supports or binders such as silica or alumina. Downstream sectors mainly consist of manufacturers producing cyclohexanone oxime, caprolactam, and other ketoximes.
In 2025, global sales volume is projected to be approximately 950 tons, with an average price of around $34–$36 per kilogram; major industry players typically achieve gross profit margins of approximately 30%–45%.
Demand for ammoximation catalysts is primarily driven by caprolactam and Nylon-6 production capacities, the green retrofitting of traditional hydroxylamine salt-based oximation processes, and the localization of catalyst production by major chemical enterprises. The TS-1 route offers relatively mild reaction conditions, high cyclohexanone conversion rates, and high oxime selectivity, while also minimizing ammonium salt by-products; consequently, it maintains long-term competitiveness for both new and retrofitted caprolactam facilities. However, the industry faces challenges such as the need for expensive template agents and high-purity silicon-titanium raw materials, lengthy hydrothermal crystallization cycles, and difficulties in controlling crystal morphology and framework titanium content. Operational issues include ammonia corrosion of the silicon framework, titanium leaching, pore blockage, difficulties in filtering fine particles, and the unproductive decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The market is expected to see steady growth, with technological focus shifting toward low-template synthesis, small-crystal and microsphere formation, highly stable frameworks, hierarchical pore structures, low-cost regeneration, membrane reaction-separation, and in-situ hydrogen peroxide generation coupling; enterprises capable of the synergistic development of catalysts and integrated ammoximation processes will possess a distinct competitive advantage.
