Activated Carbon Market Analysis, Market Size,

Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Competitive

Strategies And Forecasts, 2014 To 2020

Global activated carbon market is expected to experience considerable growth over the forecast period

owing to increasing application in major end-use industries including pharmaceuticals, water treatment,

and food & beverages processing. Activated carbon is a platform chemical, and is formed by

carbonaceous materials including bamboo, sawdust, wood chips, coconut shells, coal, and lignite.

Powdered activated carbon is the derivative product of activated carbon, which finds application in

mercury removal and drinking water treatment.

Growing requirement of mercury removal in coal fired plants is expected to be the major factor driving

the global activated carbon market over the next six years. US Environmental Protected Agency (EPA)

has set the basic standard for mercury and air toxicity. Now industrial manufacturers have to upgrade

their coal plants according to the regulation by injecting activated carbon to remove mercury from flue

gases. This change in regulation is expected to drive the global activated carbon market in this region

over the next six years.
