Activated Carbon Market Analysis 2015-2017 for China

Over the recent years, the global activated carbon consumption has kept growing with an AAGR of 5.5% or so, approximating 1.437 million tons in 2014. With the rising demand from the global industrial environmental protection, home/automotive environmental protection, water purification and other fields, the world’s demand for activated carbon is expected to hit 1.733 million tons in 2017.

The global capacity of activated carbon is mainly concentrated in the United States, Japan, France and a few other developed countries as well as some developing countries like China and the Philippines who abound in raw materials. The United States, Japan and France devote themselves to producing medium and high-end activated carbon products, while China manufactures low- and medium-end products with inferior quality and low added value.

However, China is the world's largest producer of activated carbon in terms of capacity, accounting for 43.2% of the global capacity. China’s activated carbon output was about 588,800 tons in 2014. As China’s environmental awareness gets enhanced and environmental protection policies tightened, China’s demand for activated carbon will present a CAGR of up to 6% in the next 3-5 years, higher than the global level.

China is also a major exporter of activated carbon. However, Chinese activated carbon with a focus on low-end products suffers anti-dumping investigations of some countries, thereby affecting the export in near future. In 2014, China exported 53,960 tons of wooden activated carbon and 191,550 tons of other types of activated carbon.
