Why are catalysts often used in substitution reactions of saturated compounds?

Catalysts are used in substitution reactions of saturated compounds to increase the rate of the reaction by lowering the activation energy barrier. This allows the reaction to proceed more quickly and under milder conditions, making it more efficient and cost-effective. Additionally, catalysts can also help improve the selectivity of the reaction by favoring the formation of the desired product.
