The paper discusses the currents status and future perspectives of the utilization of microwaves, as a selective and locally controlled heating method, in heterogeneous catalytic flow reactors. Various factors related to the microwave‐catalyst interaction and the design of microwave‐assisted catalytic reactor systems are analyzed. The analysis clearly shows the superiority of the traveling‐wave systems over the mono‐mode and multi‐mode cavity‐based systems when it comes to the design and application of microwave flow reactors at relevant production scales.
