NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As per Zion Market Research study, The global activated carbon market size was worth USD 5,482.50 million in 2021 and is estimated to grow to USD 9245.43 million by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 9.10% over the forecast period.

Activated Carbon Market: Overview

Activated carbon is an organic molecule with a porous structure capable of absorbing all contaminants. Activated carbon is typically made from charcoal. They are referred to as activated coal when obtained from coal. In various applications, including municipal drinking water, food & beverage processing, odor elimination, and industrial pollution management, activated carbon is used to clarify liquids and gases. Activated carbon pulls and exists organic compounds from vapor and liquid streams, removing unwanted pollutants. It has a low potential for these compounds but is particularly cost-effective for processing vast quantities of air or water to remove dilute contamination concentrations. Raw materials such as wood, peat, coconut shell charcoal, wood chips, petroleum pitch, phenolic resin, and viscose rayon generate distinct product forms. The benefit of using a significant amount of raw material throughout the production process results in a high carbon yield. Because of its ability to remove particulate and dissolved pollutants, activated carbon is widely utilized in water and sewage treatment. The rising demand for activated carbon for water treatment applications is a critical element driving the growth of the worldwide market. While activated charcoal is often employed in wastewater treatment, the market for activated carbon in the personal care and pharmaceutical industries is also expanding. Because activated carbon plays an important role in removing poison, bacteria, chemicals, and dirt from the skin's surface, various organizations in the personal care sector are shifting toward using activated charcoal in their products. This factor is expected to aid global activated carbon market growth during the forecast period.

Industry Dynamics:

Activated Carbon Market: Growth Drivers

  • The usage of activated carbon to mitigate pollution is increasing driving market growth.

The rising need for mercury control technologies for different industrial air purification applications is expected to drive the demand for activated carbon. In the coming years, many manufacturing sites in the United States and Europe will be forced to satisfy rigorous new emission regulations for mercury and other hazardous air pollutants. Clinker cement factories, coal-fired power plants, and facilities operating big industrial boilers are examples of these. Sources must fulfill certain emission limitations based on the levels of emissions previously attained by the best-performing facilities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establishes these restrictions under Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) guidelines. This will drive the growth of the global activated carbon market during the coming period.

Activated Carbon Market: Restraints

  • The scarcity of raw ingredients is driving up the price of activated carbon hampering market expansion.

The reliance on coconut shells as a raw material restricts activated carbon generators. Natural disasters, which can limit or destroy raw material production, impede the value chain of activated carbon. As a result, the price of raw materials such as coconut shells has risen. Various sectors, such as electricity, iron & steel, and cement plants, constantly need the same raw material, affecting the availability of good grades of coal necessary to generate activated carbon.
