Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024 - 2036

Activated Carbon Filters Market size was over USD 572.87 Million in 2023 and is expected to exceed USD 1.14 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at over 5.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In the year 2024, the industry size of activated carbon filters is evaluated at USD 601.23 Million. The market growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of water-borne diseases and infectious diseases such as whorls rash, cyclosporiasis, cryptosporidiosis, and algae bloom worldwide. As carbon filters can remove bacteria, infectious diseases can cause serious and significant health problems, which is expected to drive the growth of the global market.

Activated carbon filters market trends such as the need for water purification highlight the role of activated carbon filtration. A report released by the World Health Organization in 2022 found that contaminated drinking water can carry diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever, and polio, with an estimated 485,000 people suffering from diarrhea. Activated carbon filters are used to remove organic compounds to extract chlorine from water, making the water suitable for wastewater or use in manufacturing processes.

Activated Carbon Filter Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Driver

  • Increase in Food and Beverage Industry – In recent years there has been a significant increase in the use of activated carbon filters in the food and beverage industry due to their applications in cleaning and filtration preparation, such as colorant and drug removal, food processing. Therefore, the rise of the food and beverage industry is expected to drive the growth of the global activated carbon filters market during the evaluation period.  
  • High Demand in Pharmaceutical Industry – In order to separate and clean suspensions and to accelerate reaction processes activated carbon filters are utilized in the pharmaceutical sector. It also has the potential to remove impurities and color during the production of vitamins A, D, K, B, H, C, AND folic acid. Thus, increasing investment made by market players and pharmaceutical companies towards the rise of manufacturing units has actively contributed to market growth.
  • Growing Utilization in Cosmetic Sector - The cosmetics industry has introduced activated charcoal into beauty products such as toothpaste, bar soap, cleansing gels, and exfoliating masks. These products absorb surface dirt and impurities, helping to effectively clean your face and teeth. This is said to be one of the main factors influencing the growth of the activated carbon filters market in the future times. 
  • High Focus on Proper Industrial Waste Discharge - The sector is expected to grow strongly as governments and environmental firms increasingly focus on the treatment of large industrial wastes from the most important industries. Activated carbon filters can remove unwanted particles and remove odors and contaminants from wastewater. Therefore, growing industrial activities are estimated to raise the demand for activated carbon filters in the forecast time period.

Challenges

  • High Production Cost Included - Activated carbon filters are very expensive and not everyone can afford them. People prefer conventional methods for the purification of water rather than purchasing an activated carbon filter. These filters are attached to any types of components that are not cost-effective, hence, the selling price also increases. Therefore, it is anticipated to restrain the market's growth in the upcoming times.
  • Less Availability of Raw Materials
  • Disadvantages Associated with Activated Carbon Filters

Activated Carbon Filter Segmentation

Application (Industrial Water Pollution Treatment, Drinking Water Purification, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals)

The industrial water pollution treatment segment is expected to hold 45% share of the global activated carbon filters market during the forecast period. The growth of this sector is due to the presence of large amounts of waste accumulated in industrial landfills, which are then dumped into rivers, the source of pure water. About 300 to 400 tonnes of contaminated waste is dumped each year by industries around the world, according to a report to be released in 2021. In addition, the lack of availability of fresh and clean water is also a factor contributing to the expansion of industrial water pollution treatment, which is expected to further boost the market. Almost 70% of India's surface water is no longer fit for consumption due to rapid urbanization. In addition, about 40 million liters of wastewater enter rivers every year.

Type (Stainless Steel Shell, Carbon Steel Shell)

The stainless steel case segment in the activated carbon filters market is expected to hold a large share. Stainless steel is often used due to its higher chromium content and better heat distribution than carbon steel cases. In addition, it has been observed that carbon steel shells are prone to rust, whereas stainless steel is less corrosive. This will allow you to cope with extreme weather conditions. The total global stainless steel production in 2021 is estimated to be about 60 million tons.
