Global Activated Carbon Market : 2014-2019

The global market for activated carbon has been growing at a considerable rate with water treatment, air and gas
filtration, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and automotive end-user industries over the past five-years. The
market for activated carbon used in air and gas treatment applications is expected to grow at a faster rate due to
tightening government regulations. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the activated carbon market globally
followed by North America and Europe. The opportunities for regeneration of activated carbon are further
driving the activated carbon market worldwide.
To assess the market, activated carbon is divided into three major types - powdered activated carbon (PAC),
granular activated carbon (GAC) and extruded activated carbon (EAC). Activated carbon is a type of adsorbent
made from coconut shells, coal and wood. Activated carbons manufactured from coconut shells are mainly in
powdered and granular forms, while those from coal are commonly in granular and extruded forms and those
manufactured from wood are majorly powdered form. Activated carbon has a porous structure with a wide
surface area where all contaminants are adsorbed Application of activated carbons in various industries to
reduce the level of contaminants and impurities as well as to meet the regulatory standards for pure air and water
is driving the global market for activated carbon.

Global Activated Carbon Market : 2014-2019

Activated carbon is the major adsorbent in global adsorbent market occupying more than 65% of the volume
market share due to its high adsorption capacity and large surface area. Activated carbon is mainly divided
into three types; powdered, granular and extruded. It has become the preferred option for use in potable water
purification, waste water treatment, aquariums, swimming pools and sewage water treatment as well as air and
gas filtration. These applications are gaining popularity due to increasing pollution levels, health concerns and
stringent government regulations.
Apart from this, activated carbon is used for decolonization and deodorization of food and beverages; and
purifies vitamins antibiotics and active pharma ingredients in pharmaceutical industry and 1medical
applications. Some of the other applications of activated carbon include control gas emissions in automobiles;
personal protection in defense sector; gold and precious metal recovery; and as catalyst in removal of
mercaptan in oil refineries.
Scarcity of raw material and increasing concerns over supply chain, the activated carbon market is currently
facing pricing issues; however, the market for activated carbon is on rise due to its extensive use in liquid
phase and gas phase applications.
