活性碳市场-2024年至2029年预测Activated Carbon Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
预计 2024 年至 2029 年全球活性碳市场将以 7.5% 的复合年增长率成长。
推动活性碳市场的主要因素是美国、德国和英国等国家对污水处理实施了严格的规定。例如,欧盟《都市废水处理指令》最近在2024年4月进行了修订,其主要目标是减少污水对地表水和地下水的污染以及促进永续污水处理。
在预测期内,粉末活性碳可能会出现最快的成长。
粉末活性碳(PAC)的粒径分布通常为80目至325目。粉末活性碳(PAC)主要由泥炭、烟煤、棕榈壳、木材和褐煤製成。主要用于液相吸附。高表面积和大孔体积可以有效去除碳含量最低的髮色体。 PAC 具有广泛的应用,包括住宅和地方政府水处理、药物精製、食品和饮料行业脱色以及许多其他应用。这些行业的成长直接影响了粉末活性碳的需求,使其成为市场上成长最快的类型。
气体纯化是活性碳市场成长最快的应用领域
活性碳用于去除製程气体和其他污染物,例如碳氢化合物、挥发性有机化合物 (VOC)、天然气、氢气和二氧化碳。这使其成为各种工艺需要精製气体的行业的重要组成部分。活性碳也用于去除沼气中的硫化氢 (H2S) 和氨 (NH3) 等污染物。所有这些因素都导致活性碳消费量不断增长,预计将在预测期内推动需求。
在食品工业中,二氧化碳 (CO2) 用于各种製程和碳酸饮料。食品工业中使用的碳必须无味、无硫。发酵过程中产生的二氧化碳经过活性碳处理,达到食品标准纯度要求。预计上述气体纯化应用将是活性碳市场中成长最快的应用。
扩大活性碳在製药业的使用
活性碳是一种多功能且环保的多孔材料,在各领域的应用日益广泛。这些材料具有各种理想的特性,包括可调孔隙率、轻质、导电性、化学和物理稳定性以及变形为不同形状的能力。
在全球范围内,水处理应用占活性碳总消费量的近38%,是最大的应用领域。空气和瓦斯净化紧随其后,占总消费量的25%。食品加工应用占总数的12%,其次是製药业。研究期间,活性碳作为超吸附剂的使用在食品和製药行业中迅速增加。
美国和欧洲是最大的药品市场,2016年至2021年这两个地区合计占新药销售额的近80%。印度、巴西和中国是製药业的一些新兴经济体,预计将在预测期内成为该产业的主要驱动力。由于这些因素,全球活性碳需求在预测期内预计将以 7.5% 的复合年增长率成长,其中成长最快的是製药业。
在预测期内,亚太地区将主导活性碳市场。
中国、日本、印度、韩国等主要经济体在亚太地区占据主导地位。一些成长最快的新兴经济体位于该地区,例如东南亚国协。印度和中国约占全球人口的35.5%,但水资源蕴藏量分别仅占全球的4%和7%。快速的都市化和工业化为这些国家满足水需求带来了重大挑战。
中国和印度污水处理需求的增加预计将增加对活性碳的需求,并促进全球对活性碳的需求。
全球活性碳市场的主要发展
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.
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.
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.
