The global activated charcoal market size is expected to reach USD 6.68 billion by 2025. Activated charcoal or activated carbon is a versatile absorbent which is used for filtering unwanted particles and substrates from the liquid or gaseous medium. Physical properties of activated charcoal such as high porosity make the material ideal for use across diverse industries. Activated charcoal is available in different forms such as powdered, granular, and extruded among others that are prepared according to the application. For instance, powdered activated carbon is suitable for water treatment applications whereas granular form is used air purification & filtration systems. Powdered activated charcoal is projected to dominate the global activated charcoal market size with >43% share in 2017.
Activated charcoal is used across several industry verticals including water treatment, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and automotive among others. Of these, water purification & treatment was the largest end-use segment in the global activated charcoal market owing to factors such as increasing demand for potable water across the globe and growing environmental regulations regarding water quality and management. Besides water treatment, air purification also holds significant importance due to high levels of pollution in prime urban areas of the world. The demand for activated carbon for air purification is expected to be 1,047.9 kilo tons by 2025.
The global activated charcoal market is witnessing significant growth over the past few years.
