Coal Based Activated Carbon Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Coal based activated carbon creates from coal which has undergone a steam activation process. In this activation process, millions of pores are formed on the surface of the carbon which also increases the total surface area. This unique pore distribution makes the coal based activated carbon perfect to eliminate small to large molecular structures.

Global Coal Based Activated Carbon Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising demand of coal based activated carbon in waste water treatment

The development in population and migration of people from rural to urban areas, depletion of freshwater sources and scarcity of consumable water overall have increased the requirement for desalinated water. This has stimulated the governments of developing markets to invest in the water treatment area to improve their capabilities related to providing drinkable water and accommodate the growing demand. These factors are expected to fuel the global adoption of coal-based activated carbon in the market.

• Increasing utilization of coal based activated carbon in food and beverages industry

Coal based activated carbon is majorly used in the food and beverage for separating and purifying procedures. The coal-based activated carbon is used to extract purified and high-quality products and remove unwanted constituents, which is increasing rapidly worldwide. Furthermore, in adsorption technology, the coal based activated carbon is being used more often to handle liquids in the food and beverage sector. The rising demand for coal-based activated carbon in food and beverages is expected to drive the market's growth.

Opportunities

• High usage of coal based activated carbon in pharmaceutical industry

The pharmaceutical industry is expected to be the largest end user in the polymeric adsorbents market. The growth of the pharmaceutical sector is primarily attributed to the high demand for coal-based activated carbon in the purification by removing odour, colour compounds and other contaminants found in production by-products or raw materials. It is extensively used in the respiratory equipment, dialysis machine and nursing supplies for the purification, deodorization and decolorization purpose which are expected to create immense opportunities for the growth of the coal based activated carbon market.

Furthermore, the rising number of research and development activities for introducing the advanced product will further create various opportunities for the growth of the coal-based activated carbon market during the forecast period.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Volatility in the cost of raw materials

Fluctuations in the price of crude oil has a major impact on the value chain of chemical, petrochemical and its allied industries which will act as market restraint and obstruct the growth of the coal-based activated carbon market during the forecast period.

• Availability of low cost substitute

The availability of low-cost substitutes in the market is expected to restrain the growth of the global coal-based activated carbon market during the forecast period
