Increased Use in Different End-Use Industries Fuels North America Industrial Absorbents Market

Oil & gas, chemicals, food processing, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries are among the major end users of industrial absorbents. They are used to clean large- and small-scale oil spills in the oil & gas industry. Accidental spillage of oil due to fuel discharge during oil processing, leakage through large-scale offshore petroleum units, mishaps during oil drilling, and oil transportation through oceanic routes can pose a severe threat to the surrounding environment. Oil spillage worsens the water quality and adversely affects the aquatic ecosystem. A surge in the incidents of oil spillage triggers the demand for industrial absorbents in the oil & gas industry. For instance, according to the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation Limited (ITOPF), in 2023, one large oil spill and nine medium oil spills from tankers were recorded, which accounted for approximately 2,000 tons of volume of oil lost to the environment. These incidents occurred in Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. The rising number of oil refineries is another factor propelling the demand for industrial absorbents. Also, with the increasing number of drilling operations, the oil & gas industry are among the major contributors to the demand for industrial absorbents.

In the chemicals industry, a chemical spill generally occurs while transporting stored chemicals. Industrial absorbents are broadly used for cleaning chemicals that can be hazardous if left unattended. The significant growth of the global chemical industry is expected to provide robust growth for the industrial absorbents market.

In the food processing industry, absorbents are used to prevent food ingredients such as meat, fish, or poultry from drying out during storage or transportation while retaining the original flavor and appearance of the product.

Therefore, the rising use of industrial absorbents in various end-use industries contributes to market growth.
