Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) possess superior properties of carbon fiber and activated carbon. These are a modified form of carbon materials with well-defined porous structure, high surface area, and higher absorption capacity. Raw materials employed in synthesizing these include cellulose, polyacrylonitrile, phenolic resin, pitch fiber, and others. ACFs are used in purification of polluted gaseous streams & aqueous streams and numerous chemical recovery operations.
The global activated carbon fiber market is driven by increase in awareness for wastewater treatment among people, growth in usage of ACFs in air purification & carbon filter material, rise in industrial applications, and necessity of drinking water purification. Asia-Pacific is expected to register substantial growth owing to rapid industrialization in emerging economies, such as China & India, and rise in disposable income of people. However, high cost of carbon fiber and fluctuation in raw materials availability may restrain the market growth. Moreover, potential use of ACFs in new applications and surge in demand from emerging markets are expected to provide potential growth opportunities for the industry.
The report segments the activated carbon fiber (ACF) market on the basis of material, application, and geography. Based on material, it is divided into cellulose-based, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based, phenolic resin-based ACF, pitch-based, and other material-based ACFs (lignin and polyethylene). The various applications of ACFs included in the report are air purification, water treatment, chemical recovery, catalyst carrier, and others (protective clothing, protective masks, refrigerator deodorizer, and more). Geographically, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
