Activated Carbon Fiber Market by Type (PAN-based, Pitch-based, Cellulosic Fiber, Phenolic Resin), Application (Solvent Recovery, Air Purification, Water Treatment, Catalyst Carrier), & Region (North America, Europe, APAC, RoW) - Global Forecast to 2027
The Activated Carbon Fiber Market is projected to reach USD 350 million by 2027, at a cagr 8.5%.
The market's growth is attributed to the expanding chemical industry, water treatment plants in developing nations, and the demand for air purification due to high pollution loads emitted into the atmosphere.
The market is anticipated to increase over the forecast period because to factors like the high need for longer performance and less maintenance, growing demand from applications for water treatment and pollution control, and growing demand for efficient processes.
The same precursors that are used to create carbon fibres, including synthetic polymers [1-3], petroleum-based pitch [1,4], and natural cellulose [1,5], are also used to create activated carbon fibres. In particular, precursor fibres are stabilised, carbonised, and activated to create activated carbon fibres.
However, high production costs and obstacles to environment-friendly production of ACF are some of the challenges that restrict the market's growth.

Activated Carbon Fiber Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand for drinking water purification and treatment of wastewater
The demand for activated carbon fiber is expected to increase due to the growing need for water purification and wastewater treatment applications. In the coming years, several production facilities in the US and Europe, Asia, including production industries, which are discharging their effluent wastewater into water sources will be required to meet stringent new water pollution control standards for wastewater and other hazardous water pollutants overseen by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Industrial and domestic effluent discharge into the water sources is contaminating the available water resources. To confirm that the water supply is pure and fit for use, it must be purified, toxins from wastewater must be removed, and essential bacterial development must be inhibited. Major manufacturing processes require water as a basic requirement although, after the production process, a major portion of water becomes contaminated and ends up as wastewater. The produced wastewater in this way will then require to be treated before it can be disposed of in a sewer, surface water, or even recycled. The aerated bioreactor is a new and emerging technology, which is used for wastewater and effluent treatment. The high modulus polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based ACF was successfully used as a bio membrane carrier for industrial organic wastewater disposal, which is difficult to biodegrade. ACF is used as a bio membrane carrier in the wastewater disposal process thereby leading to the growth of the activated carbon fiber market.
Restraint: High production cost and fluctuating raw material availability
Activated carbon fibers are costly, and their cost of manufacturing is also growing with the increase in the price of raw materials. Fluctuating raw material prices and changing foreign currency fluctuations have resulted in higher raw material prices and increased cost of overall production.
ACF powder product is the costliest among ACF-related other products. In addition to the raw material prices, manufacturers are also burdened with the additional cost incurred due to the increased taxes on energy, which results in higher operating costs and lower profit margins restrain the growth of the activated carbon fiber market.
Opportunity: Rising atmospheric pollution and pollution abatement policy adoption by governing authorities worldwide
The rising level of pollutants in the atmosphere from vehicular emissions and industrial pollution is causing the biggest threat to the environment. To deal with this problem, governing authorities have prepared strict action-based policy norms. Governing authorities across the world have implemented BS VI vehicular norms to curb the emission of greenhouse gases, the BS VI also complies with the manufacturer to enhance catalytic converter technology in vehicles. Under Glasgow summit on climate change has urged countries to control carbon and GHG emissions and strengthen their targets by 2030. These recent advancements have created an opportunity for the activated carbon fiber to play a huge role. The market for activated carbon fiber is projected to grow at a significant pace in the European and North American markets.
Challenge: Requirement for cost-effective production and regeneration process
The cost-effective production of ACF depends on the availability of raw materials and the minimum cost of production by adopting new processes and technologies. ACF still has a lot of room to grow in terms of cutting-edge technology to build future living spaces that are energy self-sufficient, trouble-free, and of the highest quality. The regeneration process is cost-consuming, which is the biggest challenge for the ACF market. Also, the activation process of carbon fiber has two stages, which are chemical and physical activation. The use of chemical activation agents in the treatment increases the cost of processing.
Activated Carbon Fiber Market Ecosystem
High Demand in Commercial Applications for Pitch-Based Activated Carbon Fibers
Pitch is a viscoelastic polymer material that can be natural or manufactured, derived from petroleum, coal tar, or plants. Pitch-based activated carbon fibers are prepared from raw material consisting of mesophase pitch and are capable of adsorbing ammonia gas and basic gases and water vapours due to the high oxygen content. The pitch-based activated carbon fiber is expected to grow in commercial applications such as water treatment and air purification. The market for pitch-based ACFs, with a good supply base, is expected to grow in sync with the growth of the new technology. The stable prices for pitch-based materials are expected to show growth in the forecast period with an increase in the number of suppliers. Pitch-based activated carbon has such high heat resistance that it can be heat treated even under conditions under which conventional cellulosic-based activated carbon fiber would likely burn away with deterioration in its properties.
Water treatment holds the second highest share in the activated carbon fiber market both in terms of value and volume.
Based on application, the activated carbon fiber market has been segmented into air purification, water treatment, Solvent Recovery, Catalyst Carrier, and others. Water treatment segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period both in terms of value and volume. With the rapid development of the economy, various industrial enterprises have been increasing, and the pollution of water source areas has been becoming more and more serious. Activated carbon fibers (ACF) have been widely used in the field of water purification. It is difficult to effectively remove the pollutants in the water source through the traditional purification process for drinking water, and so the safety of drinking water has drawn increasing concerns. Water purification equipment using ACF as the adsorption material exhibits excellent application potential since it has a high purification efficiency and huge treatment capacity and does not produce any black powder. Thus, the new technological advancement in the water treatment industry using ACF will boost its growth.
