Coal Based Activated Carbon Market Growth & Trends:
The global coal based activated carbon market size is projected to reach USD 4.60 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is driven by demand from application industries such as gold, sugar, and air and water purification.
Air purification is the fastest growing end-use segment in the market. Rising demand for activated charcoal in air purification applications from commercial as well as domestic users is anticipated to drive segment growth in the coming years. The high adsorption property of the product allows it to remove odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other gaseous pollutants from the air, thus making it suitable for household purposes.
North America is the second-largest coal-based activated carbonmarket due to high consumption of the product in water treatment, air and gas purification, and pharmaceuticals. Major manufacturers in the region, such as Calgon Carbon Corp and Ecologix Environment Systems, LLC, have contributed to the growth. Activated charcoal is mainly used in mercury removal in industrialized countries such as U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Export of the product in North America has drastically reduced owing to new legislation established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The implementation of coal combustions and waste emission norms has directly impacted the production of activated carbon.
Coal Based Activated Carbon Market Report Highlights:
- The powdered activated carbon segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 59.4%, in 2024 and is expected to continue to dominate the industry over the forecast period.
- The water treatment segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 42.6% in 2024. The increasing use of coal-based activated carbon in both small-scale and large-scale water systems to remove chlorine and organic matter is anticipated to drive growth during the forecast period.
- The Asia Pacific coal based activated carbon market is dominant in the global market, Rapid industrialization in the region is anticipated to increase the demand for coal-based activated carbon throughout the forecast period.
