Coconut Activated Carbon Market

Coconut Activated Carbon Market: Introduction

• Activated carbon is a porous form of carbon. It can be manufactured from various carbonaceous raw materials such as pinewood, coconut shell, coal, peat, rice husk, lignite, saw dust, etc.
• Coconut activated carbon is produced from coconut shell in a two-step process. It includes carbonizing the shells and then activating the base material at high temperature of around 1,100°C in steam.
• Coconut activated carbons are least dusty and coconut activated carbon has maximum hardness. Moreover, Coconut activated carbon has excellent microporosity, along with a large surface area. Thus, it can be used in water and air purification applications and point-of-use water filters and respirators.
• Governments of different countries have imposed stringent air & water pollution and waste treatment norms due to increasing levels of pollution across the globe. This has boosted the demand for air and water purification plants. This, in turn, is anticipated to drive the coconut activated carbon market due to its efficient performance and its renewable source of raw material i.e. coconut shell.

Rise in Demand for Water & Waste Water Management Systems to Drive Global Coconut Activated Carbon Market

• Coconut activated carbon removes particulate and dissolves impurities in water. It can also remove chlorine and organic impurities from water. Thus, coconut activated carbon is widely employed in environmental water treatment, municipal water treatment, and wastewater management systems.
• Rise in environmental concerns, along with increase in the adoption of efficient water management systems mainly in the Asia Pacific region has augmented the demand for coconut activated carbon
• Rapid urbanization and public & private investments in infrastructural developments in emerging economies such as China, India, and Brazil have also fueled the demand for waste water management systems. This, in turn, is anticipated to drive the demand for coconut activated carbon during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific to Hold Leading Share of Global Coconut Activated Carbon Market

• In terms of region, the global coconut activated carbon market can be divided into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
• Asia Pacific is a leading consumer of coconut activated carbon, followed by North America and Europe. Rise in demand for water treatment plants from various end-use industries supported by private and public investments in Asia Pacific is projected to drive the market in the region.
• Countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia have suitable tropical weather ideal for coconut cultivation. Thus, Asia Pacific region is the major raw material supplier across the globe.

North America and Europe are estimated to witness steady demand for coconut activated carbon during the forecast period. Stringent environmental regulations in North America and Europe due to growing environmental concerns are anticipated to boost the demand for coconut activated carbon for use in air purification, mercury absorption, and water treatment applications. However, the demand for coconut activated carbon is anticipated to expand at a slow pace due to saturation of end-use industries in North America and Europe.
