Global Activated Carbon Market By Overview

Activated carbon is composed of aromatic configurations of the carbon atoms joined by random cross-linkages. It is highly porous in nature along with the largely amorphous structure. Activated carbon is widely used in the separation and purification industries across the globe as adsorbent. Its adsorption capacity is depends upon the porosity and surface chemistry of the activated carbon.

Activated carbon is widely used in the water as well as sewage treatment as it has ability to remove particulate and dissolved impurities in the water. Stringent government regulations associated with the on water purification set by the regulatory bodies are creating demand for the activated carbon and leading to drive growth of the global activated carbon market. In addition, key players operating in the target market are focusing on the research and development of the product which is expected to fuel growth of the global market in the near future. Increase in the level of the air pollution is also creating demand for the activated carbon which is propelling growth of the global market. For instance, November 2019, Volkswagen has disclosed that it has begun to fit all its models with an activated carbon filter since, activated carbon filter effectively it handles harmful nitrogen dioxide gas and reduces NO2 concentration, thus making for a more pleasant journey.

Also, United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended activated carbon as the best available material to remove chemical impurities such as mercury. This is another factor supporting growth of the global market. However, high cost associated with the raw materials due their unavailability is major factor restraining growth of the global activated carbon market. Furthermore, reactivated carbon can create a lucrative growth opportunity for the key players operating in the target market.

The global activated carbon market is segmented based on product type, application, end use industry, and by region. On the basis of product type, the global activated carbon market is classified into Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC), Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), and Pelletized or Extruded Activated Carbon. Based on application, the global market is bifurcated into gas purification, water purification, metal extraction, medicine, and other applications. Also, on the basis of end-use industry the target market is classified as water treatment, food and beverage, healthcare, automotive, industrial processing, and other end-user industries.

On the basis of region, the global activated carbon market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asian Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific market dominates the global market in terms of revenue over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high rate of adoption of the advanced carbon in the countries of this region especially in the China, India, and Japan. Activated carbon is used widely in water treatment, food and beverage, healthcare, automotive industries, and industrial processing in the Asia Pacific region.

The key players operating the global activated carbon market involves Ada Carbon Solutions LLC, Albemarle Corporation, Cabot Corporation, Calgon Carbon Corporation, Carbon Activated Corporation, CPL CARBON LINK, Donau Chemie Ag, Evoqua Water Technologies LLC., HAYCARB PVT. LTD, and Ingevity.
