Activated Carbon Market Overview:

The activated Carbon Market was valued at $4.8 billion in 2021 & is projected to reach $8.6 billion by 2030. It is expected to grow at a 9.4% CAGR between 2021 and 2030.

Activated carbon is also called activated charcoal which is a highly adsorbent powdered or granular carbon. It is made by carbonization and chemical activation and used chiefly for purifying by adsorption. Activated carbons are manufactured from coconut shell, peat, hard and softwood, lignite coal, bituminous coal, olive pits, and various carbonaceous materials.

Activated carbons are widely used in various industries for air purification, groundwater remediation, spill cleanup, and drinking water filtration. In addition, physical adsorption is the main property offered by activated carbon, which is used for processes such as purification, medicine, decaffeination, metal finishing, and filters.

Rising awareness regarding the consumption of clean water amongst individuals, and an increasing number of water treatment plants due to a provision of government subsidies for controlling carbon and mercury emission major factors expected to drive the growth of the global market over the forecast period.

In addition, increasing applications of activated carbon in various industries such as water and air purification, health and beverage, pharmaceutical and medical, and automotive industry is another important factor expected to fuel the growth of the target market.

Moreover, high investment in water purification plants in developing counties, especially in China and India, is expected to support the growth of this market in the near future. Moreover, the high cost of raw materials is a key factor expected to restrain the growth of the global market over the forecast period.

Rising pollution levels, technological advancements, and the development and launch of new products are some factors, which are expected to create potential revenue opportunities for players operating in the target market across the globe in the near future.

The market in the Asia Pacific dominates the global market in terms of revenue over the forecast period, owing to rapid industrialization, increasing demand for activated carbon, and government initiatives for offering subsidiaries for water and air purification plants in various countries, especially in Japan, China, and India.

The market in North America is expected to account for the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to stringent government regulations regarding the protection of the environment, increasing awareness regarding clean water consumption among individuals, and growing industrialization in various countries in the region.
