By 2030, the global market for activated carbon is predicted to be worth $4.99 billion, with a CAGR of 4.1% between 2022 and 2030.
Activated carbon, often called activated charcoal, is a porous type of carbon with a high adsorption capacity and a wide surface area. Activation is the process by which carbonaceous resources like wood, coal, peat, coconut shells, and even agricultural waste are transformed into charcoal. Activated carbon has a wide range of applications. It is widely utilised in systems that purify water and air by removing contaminants such pesticides, VOCs, and chlorine. In addition, it is used to make gas mask and respirator filters. In the pharmaceutical industry, chemical manufacturing, environmental remediation, and the food and beverage industry, activated carbon is used for decolorization, deodorization, and purification.
The Effect of COVID 19 on the International Market for Activated Carbon
The activated carbon industry has seen the same repercussions as other industries and enterprises from the global COVID-19 pandemic. The global supply chain has been severely impacted by lockdowns, travel restrictions, and other measures designed to contain the infection. This disruption has had an effect on the supply, transportation, and manufacturing of activated carbon. Supply chain issues, such as raw material shortages and logistical complications, have reduced the general availability of activated carbon in some regions. The worldwide supply chain has been severely disrupted as a result of lockdowns, travel bans, and other steps taken to stop the spread of the virus. Because of this disruption, the production, shipping, and availability of activated carbon have all been impacted. Activated carbon is not as accessible in some areas as it formerly was due to bottlenecks in the supply chain caused by things like raw material shortages and logistics problems.
Major Motivating Factors
The demand for activated carbon has increased rapidly in recent years, and this growth is expected to continue in the future. Activated carbon is commonly used in water and wastewater treatment operations for the removal of contaminants, organic compounds, and impurities. The rising need for clean and safe water supplies in industry and the municipal sector is driving the demand for activated carbon in water treatment applications. In addition, sugar, alcoholic beverages, and edible oils all require activated carbon's decolorizing and purifying properties, making it an indispensable ingredient in the food and beverage industry. Due to rising demand for high-quality and purified food products and strict legislation controlling food safety, the market for activated carbon in this industry is growing. Activated carbon is employed in energy storage devices like supercapacitors and batteries because of its high surface area and electrical conductivity. The global focus on sustainability and green technologies has also contributed to activated carbon's reputation as an environmentally friendly chemical. The sustained priority on environmental sustainability and stringent regulations are expected to support the activated carbon industry's future growth.
Important Problems in the Market
CarbonActivated carbon is mostly derived from aceous materials, such as coal, wood, and coconut shells. Activated carbon production costs are sensitive to changes in the cost and availability of key inputs. Competition in the activated carbon market is fierce due to the widespread presence of manufacturers and distributors. Companies are feeling the heat from their rivals to offer superior products in terms of quality, performance, and price. Smaller businesses may have a hard time competing with larger, more established businesses in a crowded market. Activated carbon also faces competition from less expensive substitutes made from similar or superior materials and technology. Activated carbon has the potential to solve a variety of environmental and purification issues, yet it may be underutilised or misunderstood due to a lack of information. Outreach and education programmes are crucial to increasing the usage of activated carbon across a variety of sectors.
Powdered activated carbon and granular activated carbon are the two main product types in the worldwide activated carbon market. Powdered activated carbon is expected to maintain its position as the market leader during the forecasted time frame. Many different types of industrial processes generate polluted waste streams that need to be cleaned up before being disposed of. Activated carbon powder plays an important role in many manufacturing processes, from the creation of chemicals and pharmaceuticals to the preparation of foods and beverages. It successfully absorbs and flushes out polluting substances. As manufacturing expands, so might the demand for PAC in these sectors. The market for granular activated carbon is expected to expand at a particularly rapid clip in the coming years. Gas purification methods, such as those used to remove impurities and pollutants from gases and air, typically employ activated carbon granules. In industries including chemical manufacturing, oil refining, and automotive applications, gas purification is essential for reasons of environmental compliance, quality control, and worker safety. As manufacturing expands, so too will the requirement for GAC in gas filtration.
The global activated carbon market is split up into the water treatment and air purification submarkets, respectively, based on application. The water treatment sector is expected to maintain its dominant position in the market throughout the projection period. The world over, people are increasingly turning to water purification systems. Across the globe, a wide variety of companies are investigating cutting-edge methods for recycling treated water. Businesses are expected to profit further from legislation mandating them to utilise environmentally friendly materials and efficient water disposal systems. Over the next few years, the market for air filtration systems is expected to expand at a rapid clip. The importance of having clean air in one's dwelling and place of employment is growing. There is a growing demand for effective air filtration technology due to the potential health risks associated with indoor air pollution. More people are concerned about respiratory problems, allergies, and the overall health implications of air pollution, which has led to a rise in the demand for air filtration systems. All of these elements are contributing to the segment's expansion.
