The Global Activated Carbon Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2021 to 2028. The growth in the market is mainly driven by rising demand for activated carbon products in various application areas such as medicine and metal extraction. Moreover, demand for activated carbon products in gas phase applications also has an influence on the overall growth of this market.
Activated Carbon is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous. This makes the material able to remove substances from gases and liquids or adsorb them onto its surface, making it an excellent filter media for purifying water (by removing contaminants), air (removing odors), or other fluids. Activated Carbon can also be used as a chemical catalyst when diluted in hydrocarbon solvents such as decalin; this effect is known as "solvent activation". The most common type of activated charcoal is made by burning organic materials without any oxygen present so that all combustible matter will turn into ash with almost no tar left behind. The process leaves a black powder-like substance called “activated ” charcoal.
Activated carbon is used in air purifiers to remove strong odors, such as tobacco smoke and pet smells from a house or apartment. It can also be found in the filters of vacuum cleaners for these same purposes: odor removal and prevention of dust buildup on furniture placed near the vents. The most important application of activated carbon today is its use in filtration systems that prevent waterborne illnesses by removing pathogens like Cryptosporidium and Giardia lamblia, which are single-celled parasites that cause intestinal diseases.
On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into Granular Activated Carbon, Powdered Activated Carbon, Extruded or Pelletized activated carbon, Other Types.
Granular Activated Carbon is another type of activated carbon and it can be in the form of granules, tablets, or blocks. Granulated activated charcoal has long been used as a gas adsorption material for removing sulfur dioxide from coal gas combustion emissions. It also finds application in purifying water by reducing dissolved organic matter that would otherwise make the water unsuitable for human consumption.
Powdered Activated Carbon is a form of activated carbon where the grains are in powder form and can be mixed with water, alcohols, oils, or other liquids to create an adsorbent solution. The material is used as purification filters for gases and vapors that may contain noxious chemicals such as sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxide.
Extruded or Pelletized activated carbon is produced by the process of grinding and compressing. The manufacturing process takes in coal, petroleum coke, rice husks, black liquor which are heated to a high temperature before being discharged into a chamber where they react with each other under pressure. This produces charcoal that can be processed further for use as activated carbon.
The extrusion or pelletization reduces the cost per tonne and increases its efficiency of usage across industries such as energy industry pollution control equipment. Activated carbons like these have increased demand because of their ability to remove contaminants from gas streams efficiently while keeping them reactive so it doesn't form sludge on contact with water droplets present in a polluted airstream.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into Medicine (Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare), Metal Extraction (Metal Production - Iron Ore Mining and Sulfuric Acid Manufacturing), Gaseous Phase Applications (Treatment of Air Pollution in Chemical Plants: Pulp & Paper Mills; Gas Treatment Plant to Remove Sulphurs from Natural Gas), Liquid Phase Applications(Paint Stripping) as well on other applications such as chemical industries, etc.
In regions like North America Growth in the pharmaceutical sector has been driving demand for active carbons which can be used to filter air pollutants from major industries such as petrochemical plants and refineries that have a large number of chemical reactions happening within them at any given point in time. Rising healthcare awareness across regions also drives this growth while leading to the increased utilization of active carbons in hospitals.
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The European market is anticipated to have an increase in the demand for active carbons on account of its well-advanced healthcare sector which has led to increased utilization rates across hospitals
Latin America's growth can be credited with increasing awareness towards environmental sustainability initiatives across this region. The rise in the pharmaceutical industry over here also drives up demand for activated carbon as they are used extensively by major industries such as petrochemical plants and refineries that produce chemicals like sulfuric acid amongst others. This factor coupled with high disposable incomes gives hope for high market growth in the future.
Asia Pacific's active carbon market is expected to grow significantly owing to increasing environmental sustainability initiatives across this region. This coupled with developing pharmaceutical and chemical industries will raise the demand for activated carbons.
The Middle East & Africa is anticipated to register high growth due to rising awareness amongst audiences about reducing plastic pollution through recycling as well as fossil fuel production which can be done through the use of biomass energy sources such as wood chips or pellets that are made out of waste materials like corn cobs, rice husks, etc.
