Opportunities: Recycling of activated carbon
The demand for activated carbon has increased tremendously due to strict regulations concerning air quality maintenance and the increasing number of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants. The rising pressure on activated carbon producers regarding the high production cost affects this industry significantly. Hence, activated carbon producers mainly focus on the production of reactivated carbon.
By Application, Gas Phase Application accounted for the largest share in 2022
The activated carbon is used in several gas-phase applications such as automobile, and industrial gases. It is due to its high surface area and porosity, which allows it to effectively adsorb and remove impurities, contaminants, and other unwanted substances from gases. This also helps in controlling the emissions of harmful gases from automobile or industrial applications.
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share as well as the fastest-growing market for activated carbon market in 2022
Asia Pacific accounts for the largest share in 2022, in this market. This is attributed to the rapid increase in urbanization, and industrialization which demand pure and clean air & water. This drives the demand for activated carbon across the end-use indsutries. Apart from this, the region also witnessed for the growing food & beverages industry, automotive industry, which also drives the demand for activated carbon. In addition to this, the presence of stringent government regulations, also helps in driving the market of activated carbon during the forecast period.
