Activated Carbon Market Dynamics

Drivers: Growing Adoption Of Water Treatment Processes

Activated carbon finds application in water treatment processes. It is useful to eliminate chlorine and volatile organic compounds from drinking water. It also removes dissolved radon, lead, and various other odor-causing compounds. Activated carbons are also considered for their adsorbing capacity, which makes them suitable for water treatment. Agricultural waste, leakage from ground storage tanks, and industrial waste causes water contamination. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Health Advisory Level (HAL) has kept strict standards toward the exposure of chemicals owing to their toxicity, which leads to adverse effects on human health. These chemicals include benzene, chlorobenzene, vinyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride, and other hazardous substances.

With the alarming rate of the adverse effects of contaminated water on human health, there is a proportionate increase in demand for water treatment technologies. In addition, various countries across the region face water scarcity due to increased urbanization and population explosion. These factors are creating challenges in restoring the amount of fixed fresh water. Increasing water prices and regulatory pressure to recycle will benefit the overall market growth. Excessive groundwater withdrawal for irrigation has caused serious problems, including increased soil salinity. The groundwater is rich in salinity; thus, desalinization technology is one of the vital steps that must carried out before its consumption. The rise in water desalinization is expected to fuel the demand for activated carbon in the water treatment process.

Rising Demand For Treating Sewage Wastewater

Sewage wastewater generation is common in various developed countries worldwide owing to the progress of rural and urban areas in these countries. The UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc., are some countries that rely increasingly on wastewater treatment plants and processes to mitigate their issue of clean water scarcity. The sewage water typically includes organic, inorganic, and biological pollutants, along with a mix of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) originating from the sewage of households. At the same time, domestic wastewater usually contains suspended solids, pathogens, nitrogen, and phosphorus. These untreated pollutants can lead to environmental and health hazards if disposed of directly on land.

Restraint: Scarcity Of Raw Materials Causing Price Hikes

Major activated carbon raw materials include coconut shells, coal, wood pulp, lignite, and peat. The majority of the raw material suppliers supply coconut shells. The hardness of coconut shells makes activated carbon highly resistant to abrasion. The high carbon content in coconut shells creates a lot of foam that can be used for activated carbon production, which adds to its absorption capacity. The iodine content in the activated carbon from coconut shells is higher than coal. Also, the ash content and constituents in coconut shells are minimal, around 2% to 4%, leading to their popularity among major activated carbon manufacturers. Major coconut shell-supplying countries include Indonesia, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. The scarcity of raw materials driven by the increasing demand is expected to result in higher prices quoted by major raw material suppliers. For instance, Coconuts are found near water bodies, and due to the absence of water bodies in the region, the countries are mainly import-dependent and have few domestic product manufacturers. Other factors, such as low inventory levels, high operating rates, tight and high-priced supplies of foreign materials, and high energy costs, are expected to have a negative impact on the market and further contribute to higher prices.

Primary interviews are one of the critical steps in identifying recent market trends and scenarios. This process enables us to justify and validate our market estimates and forecasts to our clients. With more than 8,000 reports in our database, we have connected with some key opinion leaders across various domains, including healthcare, technology, consumer goods, and the chemical sector. Our process starts with identifying the right platform for a particular type of report, i.e., emails, LinkedIn, seminars, or telephonic conversation, as every report is unique and requires a differentiated approach.

We send out questionnaires to different experts from various regions/ countries, which is dependent on the following factors:

  • Report/Market scope: If the market study is global, we send questionnaires to industry experts across various regions, including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA.

  • Market Penetration: If the market is driven by technological advancements, population density, disease prevalence, or other factors, we identify experts and send out questionnaires based on region or country dominance.

The time to start receiving responses from industry experts varies based on how niche or well-penetrated the market is. Our reports include a detailed chapter on the KoL opinion section, which helps our clients understand the perspective of experts already in the market space.
