A phase transfer catalyst is a heterogeneous positive catalyst that facilitates reaction between 2 substances located in different immiscible phases. It accelerates the rate of reaction and helps in solubilizing salts into organic phases. The phase transfer catalyst is used for the chemical synthesis of organics, such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, and chemicals, among others. It is majorly used to migrate ionic reactants as these are insoluble in organic phases. The phase transfer catalyst market size is estimated to grow from USD 960 million in 2018 to USD 1,232 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.1%. The major factors driving the phase transfer catalyst market include rising demand and adoption of green chemistry in organic synthesis. However, technological advancements in chemical synthesis for the reduction of catalyst consumption is a major challenge for the phase transfer catalyst market.

The phase transfer catalyst market has been segmented on the basis of type into ammonium salts, phosphonium salts, and others that include crown ethers and cryptands. Among these, the ammonium salts segment is expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period. There is a high demand for tetra butyl ammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate, tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate, and tetrabutylammonium chloride, among others, which are easily available and inexpensive in comparison to other phase transfer catalysts. In addition, growing demand for inexpensive phase transfer catalysts from emerging regions, such as Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa is expected to drive the growth of the ammonium salts segment in the phase transfer catalyst market during the forecast period.
