Catalysts can be used for very different purposes, because they all work at different temperatures. If a company wanted to produce a product by reacting chemicals at 500 degrees Celsius, then they would have to buy a catalyst that worked at that temperature. However, they wouldn't buy any old catalyst, they would look for the cheapest one available that works at the temperature they need it to, so they can save a bit of money.

Why does a catalyst not need to be replaced?

A catalyst speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. It provides an alternative pathway with lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to occur more easily. Since it doesn't undergo a permanent change, a catalyst does not need to be replaced and can be used multiple times.
