Mercury Emission Control and Wastewater Management Drives Strengthen, Boost Wood Activated Carbon Demand Globally

Although regional players are many and currently occupy over a quarter of the global volume share for wood activated carbon, this market is primarily consolidated. The top three players in 2015 – Calgon Carbon Corporation, Cabot Corporation, and Ingevity Corporation – collectively held a share of 46.8% of the market’s total value at the time. 
Owing to this high concentration of market shares held by a few prominent players, the competitive intensity is very high between them. Their rivalry is also likely to affect the growing number of small and medium scale companies coming up in countries such as China.

According to a new research report released by Transparency Market Research, the overall threat of new entrants in the global market for wood activated carbon is expected to remain medium to high over the coming years. Product differentiation is low and the demand for wood activated carbon is escalating quickly, thus allowing a positive room for new entrants to procure distribution contracts in.
Armed with a CAGR of 9.2% in revenue within a forecast period from 2016 to 2024, the global market for wood activated carbon is expected to generate US$224.7 mn by 2016, which is expected to reach US$456.0 mn by the end of 2024.
The strong ability of wood activated carbon to separate particulate matter, lead, and other harmful elements from both liquids and gases makes it exceptionally useful in the removal of impurities from substances. This application segment is expected to generate US$141.8 bn for wood activated carbon manufacturers by the end of 2024.

APAC Likely to Retain Leading Rate of Wood Activated Carbon Consumption

By the end of 2024, Asia Pacific is expected to generate US$197.18 mn in revenue from the consumption of wood activated carbon. This region is going very big on the use of wood activated carbon for removal of impurities and decolorization. At the same time, this region is also showing a very high demand for wood activated carbon for the purpose of gas absorption. The share in volume used up by Asia Pacific is expected to increase quite a bit over the coming years.
North America holds the second place in terms of demand for wood activated carbon. The demand by this region is expected to increase significantly over the coming years due to a growing use of impurity removal methods that are effective and not harmful to the environment. This region is focusing heavily on the implementation of gas absorption techniques to reduce the emission of vehicles.

 Environmental Regulations Bear Down on Mercury Emissions, Spur Wood Activated Carbon Demand
“Over 70% of the mercury emissions globally come from power plants, with coal-fired and thermal power plants being the key culprits. Almost all governments are now cracking down on the emission of mercury and other harmful particles by power plants and the manufacturing industry. This increasing pressure to maintain cleaner air quality has pushed wood activated carbon into favor with most industries,” states a TMR analyst.
Both the U.S. and China are two major countries responsible mercury emissions. Both nations have agreed to adhere to strict emission norms and significantly reduce mercury levels in the atmosphere by 2020. This puts both countries at the top of the charts for wood activated carbon consumption.
Saw Dust Prices Surge Affects Wood Activated Carbon Production
The key raw materials for producing wood activated carbon include a slew of pre-treatment chemicals, wood flour, wood pellets, and saw dust. Of these, saw dust, wood pellets, and wood flour are usually derived as byproducts of wood processing.
The complication lies in the demand for these raw materials being equally high in other industries such as fuel generation and the manufacturing of synthetic resins and wood pulp. With a large number of companies holding a high demand for saw dust and other wood processing byproducts, the dependency of wood activated carbon manufacturers on saw dust becomes increasingly precarious, hindering this market’s growth rate.
“This shortage of raw materials can be mitigated by developments on other raw materials. For instance, there are several studies pointing towards the feasibility of other forms of activated carbon and even plasma processed carbon,” adds the analyst.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
