Activated Carbon Market Analysis, Market Size,
Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Competitive
Strategies And Forecasts, 2014 To 2020
Global activated carbon market is expected to experience considerable growth over the forecast period
owing to increasing application in major end-use industries including pharmaceuticals, water treatment,
and food & beverages processing. Activated carbon is a platform chemical, and is formed by
carbonaceous materials including bamboo, sawdust, wood chips, coconut shells, coal, and lignite.
Powdered activated carbon is the derivative product of activated carbon, which finds application in
mercury removal and drinking water treatment.
Growing requirement of mercury removal in coal fired plants is expected to be the major factor driving
the global activated carbon market over the next six years. US Environmental Protected Agency (EPA)
has set the basic standard for mercury and air toxicity. Now industrial manufacturers have to upgrade
their coal plants according to the regulation by injecting activated carbon to remove mercury from flue
gases. This change in regulation is expected to drive the global activated carbon market in this region
over the next six years.

Need to improve quality of water for domestic purpose is likely to propel activated carbon market over
the foreseeable period. Granular activated carbon (GAC) is another by product of activated carbon,
which finds application in gas purification. Increasing environmental concern over air pollution coupled
with need to filter gas released from coal plants is anticipated to have positive impact on activated
carbon market over the forecast period.
Activated carbon is used in liquid, vapor, and gas treatment, and is also effective in removing chlorine
from water making it consumable for further use. Activated carbon also finds application in
manufacturing medical equipment such as gas masks to filter out chlorine gas. Powdered activated
carbon was the leading market in 2012, and the market is expected to continue over the forecast period
owing to increasing use in air purification. GAC market is expected to experience considerable growth
over the next six years.
Increasing environmental issues to reduce emission of acid gases, mercury, and other air pollutants from
coal plant, clinker cement plants, and solid waste incinerators is expected to be the factor driving the
market over the forecast period. Gold recovery, de-colorization of sugar, catalytic process, deodorization
of wines and fruit juice, automotive transistors, and production of fine chemicals are other applications
of activated carbon. Rapid industrialization growth across the globe is expected to drive the global
activated carbon market over the foreseeable period. Shortage of raw materials including coconut shell,
wood, and sawdust is likely to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific has been dominating the global market over the recent past, and the trend is expected to
continue over the next six years. China was the leading exporter among other nations in 2012. Growing
water purification market in India, Thailand, and China owing to increasing population is anticipated to
have positive impact on activated carbon market over the foreseeable period. In addition, growing
automotive market in China is likely to drive activated carbon market in Asia Pacific region. U.S. accounts
for largest market of activated carbon. Growing pharmaceutical industry in North America is expected to
influence activated carbon market over the forecast period. Europe activated carbon market is expected
to experience significant growth over the next six years on account of increasing beverage industry in
Germany.
Global activated carbon market is highly consolidated by top players. High coconut shell production in
SriLanka which is important raw material for activated carbon is expected to create an opportunity for
the market players in Asia Pacific. Some of the major companies operating in global market include
