Activated Carbon NEW US industry forecasts for 2014 & 2019

This study covers the US activated carbon (AC) market, including granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC). The GAC product segment includes standard GAC as well as specialty GAC types including extruded or pelletized, spherical and chemical-impregnated varieties. This study also covers demand for other, higher-value AC products including carbon cloth and carbon monoliths. Production and demand figures presented here include both virgin activated carbon and reactivated product (overwhelmingly GAC) sold by AC suppliers, except in those places where virgin and reactivated activated carbon production capacities are considered separately. The term “reactivation” is used interchangeably with the terms “regeneration” and “desorption.”

Historical data for 1999, 2004 and 2009 and forecasts to the years 2014 and 2019 are provided for activated carbon demand in pounds. Demand is presented by product type, applications (liquid and gas phase), and by regional markets within the US. Liquid phase applications include water treatment, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical and medical preparations, mining, and a number of other, smaller-volume uses. Gas phase applications include industrial air purification, motor vehicle components, solvent recovery and a number of smaller uses.
