Executive Summary
According to this report titled, 'Activated Carbon Market,' the activated carbon market was valued at $3.2 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $5.8 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2021 to 2030.Activated carbon is used for adsorption and chemical reactions for purification, decaffeination, fuel storage, water treatment, and food processing. The global activated carbon market is expected to witness significant growth in forecast period, owing to increase in concerns about health risks associated with drinking contaminated water, improvement in environmental standards, and growth in industrialization. Environmental factors affect availability of raw materials, such as coconut shells increase the cost of raw material, which hamper the growth of activated carbon market.
On the basis of product type, the powdered activated carbon segment dominated the global activated carbon market in 2020, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period, owing to its properties and cost-effectiveness. Use of powdered activated carbon in water and air purification plants increases for removing impurities, including pollutants and mercury. Strict environmental standards boost the growth of mercury removal plants in industries, resulting in an increase in the activated carbon market throughout the forecast period.
- On the basis of application, the liquid segment dominated the global activated carbon market in 2020, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period, owing to increase in number of applications.
