Catalytic processes often rely on specific raw materials and chemicals, which may be sourced from different parts of the world.

For example, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted vulnerabilities in global supply chains, affecting the availability of critical materials for catalytic processes. Companies need to diversify their supply sources and develop contingency plans to address such disruptions.
