Activated Carbon - Global Strategic Business Report
Global Industry Analysts, Inc, February 2012, Pages: 294
This report analyzes the worldwide markets for Activated Carbon in Thousand Metric Tons by the following Product Segments: Powdered Activated Carbon, and Granular Activated Carbon. The End-Use Segments also analyzed are Liquid Phase (Water Treatment, Food & Beverages, Medical & Pharmaceuticals, & Other Liquid Phase Applications), and Gas Phase (Air Purification, Automotive Emission Canister, & Other Gas Phase Applications). The report provides separate comprehensive analytics for the US, Canada. Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of World. Annual estimates and forecasts are provided for the period 2009 through 2017. A six-year historic analysis is also provided for these markets.
The report profiles 62 companies including many key and niche players such as CECA Specialty Chemicals, Calgon Carbon Corp., Chemviron Carbon, Clarimex SA de CV, Haycarb Ltd., Jacobi Carbons, Kuraray Chemical Co., Ltd., MeadWestvaco Corp., NORIT Americas, Inc., and Osaka Gas Chemicals Co., Ltd.
Market data and analytics are derived from primary and secondary research. Company profiles are primarily based upon search engine sources in the public domain.
Please note: Reports are sold as single-site single-user licenses. Electronic versions require 24-48 hours as each copy is customized to the client with digital controls and custom watermarks.

------------------------------------------
A major fallout of modernization and industrialization and the ensuing increased level of industrial activity, is the rising levels of environmental pollution and concerns over steady deterioration in natural ecosystems. Industrial effluents and wastes predominantly contain toxic heavy metal residues, such as, copper, cadmium, nickel, mercury, lead, chromium, manganese, zinc and aluminium, among others. Against this backdrop, the need to continuously meet production targets while simultaneously extend conformance to increasingly stringent environmental regulations, is throwing the spotlight on activated carbon as an adsorbent material for purification. Steady opportunities for adsorption technologies in several industrial processes are poised to directly benefit the market for activated carbon. With end-uses ranging from removal of dissolved organic contaminants from water, removal of volatile organic compounds from air and gas, to drug detoxification applications in the pharmaceutical industry, it is opportunities galore in the marketplace. Growing population and the acute need for superior waste disposal management will generate demand for activated carbon in hazardous waste incineration and clinical waste incineration applications.
Water treatment is expected to continue as the leading application area for activated carbon, while other uses including emission canisters in motor vehicles, and treatment of flue gas in power plants are expected to foster faster growth in the near future. While developed and mature markets such as United States, Europe, and Japan dominate the world market, future growth will be spearheaded by developing countries in Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Rapid industrialization, strong economic growth, shifting of production bases into low cost Asian countries, rising levels of pollution and increasing international pressure on governments in developing countries to cap their pollution levels, are all factors driving growth in developing countries.
The focus of governments in densely populated countries like China and India on sustainably managing water infrastructure to address challenges raised by water pollution and water scarcity, is fueling the emphasis and investments on advanced water treatment and recycling technology. With governments raising the national standards for drinking water and for discharging effluents and purification/treatment of agricultural/industrial waste water, strong untapped opportunities exists in these markets for the prolific use of activated carbon.
In the coming years, Granular activated carbon (GAC) is expected to grow at a strong pace, mainly driven by its regenerative ability and increased usage of activated carbon filter systems in municipal and residential drinking water purification/treatment. Currently, powdered activated carbon (PAC), which occupies the major share in the overall demand for activated carbon, is the fastest growing between the two activated carbon product segments. Increased application in the pharmaceutical industry is forecast to open up newer avenues for growth. The major application of activated carbon in pharmaceuticals is in the form of an adsorbent required during the manufacturing of drugs. Asia-Pacific region is expected to contribute to majority of the growth in the pharmaceutical applications of activated carbon. China is projected to enhance its share in the global market for activated carbon. The emerging markets, such as Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East are expected to yield growth exceeding overall global average.
As stated by the new market research report on Activated Carbon, the US and Asia-Pacific dominate the market. Strongest growth is forecast to stem from Asia with the region projected to wax at a CAGR of 9.5% over the analysis period. Powdered Activated Carbon will post the fastest CAGR of approximately 9.0% over the analysis period. By end-use application, use of activated carbon in water treatment and air purification will witness the highest growth in the Liquid Phase and Gas Phase application sectors, respectively.
