簡介目錄

預計 2024 年至 2029 年全球活性碳市場將以 7.5% 的複合年成長率成長。

推動活性碳市場的主要因素是美國、德國和英國等國家對污水處理實施了嚴格的規定。例如，歐盟《都市廢水處理指令》最近在2024年4月進行了修訂，其主要目標是減少污水對地表水和地下水的污染以及促進永續污水處理。

由於多種因素的影響，市場也面臨挑戰，例如幾種等級活性碳的成本不斷增加，以及矽膠和生物離子交換（BIEX）等替代品的威脅。
市場上有很多機會，目前正在研究使用基於廢輪胎的活性碳來消除污水中的污染。這種方法降低了活性碳的成本，並提高了其在市場上的競爭力。

在預測期內，粉末活性碳可能會出現最快的成長。

粉末活性碳（PAC）的粒徑分佈通常為80目至325目。粉末活性碳（PAC）主要由泥炭、煙煤、棕櫚殼、木材和褐煤製成。主要用於液相吸附。高表面積和大孔體積可以有效去除碳含量最低的髮色體。 PAC 具有廣泛的應用，包括住宅和地方政府水處理、藥物精製、食品和飲料行業脫色以及許多其他應用。這些行業的成長直接影響了粉末活性碳的需求，使其成為市場上成長最快的類型。

氣體純化是活性碳市場成長最快的應用領域

活性碳用於去除製程氣體和其他污染物，例如碳氫化合物、揮發性有機化合物 (VOC)、天然氣、氫氣和二氧化碳。這使其成為各種工藝需要精製氣體的行業的重要組成部分。活性碳也用於去除沼氣中的硫化氫 (H2S) 和氨 (NH3) 等污染物。所有這些因素都導致活性碳消費量不斷成長，預計將在預測期內推動需求。

在食品工業中，二氧化碳 (CO2) 用於各種製程和碳酸飲料。食品工業中使用的碳必須無味、無硫。發酵過程中產生的二氧化碳經過活性碳處理，達到食品標準純度要求。預計上述氣體純化應用將是活性碳市場中成長最快的應用。

擴大活性碳在製藥業的使用

活性碳是一種多功能且環保的多孔材料，在各領域的應用日益廣泛。這些材料具有各種理想的特性，包括可調孔隙率、輕質、導電性、化學和物理穩定性以及變形為不同形狀的能力。

在全球範圍內，水處理應用佔活性碳總消費量的近38%，是最大的應用領域。空氣和瓦斯淨化緊隨其後，佔總消費量的25%。食品加工應用佔總數的12%，其次是製藥業。研究期間，活性碳作為超吸附劑的使用在食品和製藥行業中迅速增加。

美國和歐洲是最大的藥品市場，2016年至2021年這兩個地區合計佔新藥銷售額的近80%。印度、巴西和中國是製藥業的一些新興經濟體，預計將在預測期內成為該產業的主要驅動力。由於這些因素，全球活性碳需求在預測期內預計將以 7.5% 的複合年成長率成長，其中成長最快的是製藥業。

在預測期內，亞太地區將主導活性碳市場。

中國、日本、印度、韓國等主要經濟體在亞太地區佔據主導地位。一些成長最快的新興經濟體位於該地區，例如東南亞國協。印度和中國約佔全球人口的35.5%，但水資源蘊藏量分別僅佔全球的4%和7%。快速的都市化和工業化為這些國家滿足水需求帶來了重大挑戰。

中國訂定的目標是所有城市污水處理率達95%，缺水地區中水回用率提高到25%。 2023年中國污水排放590億立方米，其中約28%來自工業廢水。
根據中央污染控制委員會 (CPCB) 的數據，印度城市僅處理每天 723.68 億公升 (MLD)污水中的 28%。近 72% 的污水未經處理就排入河川、湖泊和地下水。
根據NITI Aayog最近的報告，預計到2030年，城市人口將達到6.07億，到2050年，印度近50%的人口將集中在都市區。不斷成長的城市人口給城市水資源管理帶來了壓力。為了解決這個問題，CPCB 正在安裝新的污水處理廠並提高現有的污水處理能力。

中國和印度污水處理需求的增加預計將增加對活性碳的需求，並促進全球對活性碳的需求。

The global activated carbon market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% between 2024 and 2029.

The main factors driving the activated carbon market are the stringent regulations imposed on wastewater treatment by various countries such as the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. For instance, the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive was recently revised in April 2024 whose main objective includes the reduction of pollution of surface waters and groundwater by wastewater and the promotion of sustainable wastewater treatment.

The market also faces challenges due to multiple factors like the growing cost of a few grades of activated carbon as well as threats from substitutes like silica gel and biological ion exchange (BIEX).
The market has several opportunities with ongoing research on using waste tires-based activated carbon to remove contamination from wastewater. This method will reduce the cost of activated carbon thereby making it a more competitive product in the market.

Powdered Activated carbon is likely to be the fastest-growing type during the forecast period

The Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) usually has a particle size distribution ranging from 80-325mesh. Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is mostly made from peat, bituminous coal, coconut shells, wood, and lignite coal. It is mostly utilized for liquid-phase adsorption. The high surface area and larger pore volume allow for the effective removal of color bodies with minimal carbon dose. PAC has wide application areas such as residential and municipal water treatment, pharmaceutical product purification, decolorization in the food and beverage industry, and many other applications. The growth in these industries is directly influencing the demand for powdered activated carbon, thereby making it the fastest-growing type in the market.

Gas Purification to register fastest growth application segment of the activated carbon market

Activated carbon is used to remove hydrocarbons or volatile organic content (VOC) and process gases like natural gas, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide along with other contaminants. This factor makes it a crucial component for industries where purified gas is required for various processes. Activated carbon is also used to remove pollutants like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) from biogas. All these factors contribute to the growing consumption of activated carbon and are anticipated to drive its demand during the forecast period.

In the food industry, carbon dioxide (CO2) is used in various processes and carbonated drinks. The carbon used in the food industry should be odor and sulfur-free. Carbon dioxide produced by the fermentation process is treated with activated carbon to meet food standard purity requirements. Owing to the above-mentioned factor gas purification application is projected to be the fastest growing application for the activated carbon market.

The growing application of activated carbon in the pharmaceutical industry

Activated carbon is a versatile and environment-friendly porous material with increasing applications across various fields. These materials offer various desirable properties, such as adjustable porosity, lightweight, electrical conductivity, chemical and physical stability, and the ability to take on different forms or shapes.

At a global level, water treatment applications account for nearly 38% of the total consumption of activated carbon, making it the largest application area. Air and gas purification follows closely, accounting for 25% of the total consumption. Food processing applications come next, representing 12% of the total consumption followed by the pharmaceutical sector. Activated carbon utilization as a super adsorbent has observed a spike in the food and pharmaceutical industry over the study period.

The United States and Europe are the largest pharmaceutical market and these two regions combined contribute to nearly 80% of sales of new medicines launched during 2016 and 2021. India, Brazil, and China are some of the emerging economies in the pharmaceutical sector and are anticipated to be a major growth driver for the sector during the forecast period. Owing to these factors, the global demand for activated carbon is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% during the forecast period, with the fastest growth observed in the pharmaceutical industry.

Asia-Pacific region to dominate the activated carbon market during the forecast period.

The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region such as ASEAN countries. India and China have about 35.5% of the world's population, yet their limited water reserves account for only 4% and 7%, respectively. Rapid urbanization and industrialization have posed a grave challenge for these countries to meet their water requirements.

China has set a target to treat 95% of the wastewater in all their cities and increase the water reuse rate to 25% in areas with water scarcity. China released nearly 59 billion cubic meters of wastewater in 2023, out of which around 28% was contributed by industrial sources. The growing industrial wastewater treatment in China is anticipated to drive the demand for activated carbon.
As per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Indian cities treat only 28% of the 72,368 million liters per day (MLD) of wastewater. Nearly 72% of the wastewater remains untreated and is disposed of in rivers, lakes, and groundwater. There is a significant gap in the wastewater generated and treated and to address this issue the government is taking steps and convert the wastewater into a valuable resource.
According to NITI Aayog's recent report, the urban population is estimated to reach 607 million by 2030 and it is estimated that by 2050 nearly 50% of the Indian population will be in urban cities. The growth in the urban population has imposed pressure on the city's water management boards. To address the issue, CPCB is installing new wastewater treatment plants and increasing the existing wastewater treatment capacity.

This growing demand for wastewater treatment in China and India is expected to boost the demand for activated carbon in these countries thereby contributing to the global demand for activated carbon.

Global Activated Carbon Market Key Developments

In May 2024, Kuraray Co., Ltd., decided to acquire the industrial reactivated carbon business from Sprint Environmental Services, LLC, this acquisition will strengthen the company's foothold in the activated carbon market.
In October 2024, ADA Carbon Solutions (Arq, Inc.), a leading manufacturer of powder-activated carbon and a subsidiary of Advanced Emissions Solutions, announced that it is considering a USD 251 million expansion of its production facility in Red River Parish. The expanded plant is expected to have a unique process for converting purified coal waste into granular activated carbon, which could be utilized for municipal water purification, soil and groundwater contamination remediation, and renewable energy.
