Market Segmentation Analysis

The features of an effective Adsorbents include resistance to high abrasion, high thermal stability and distinct pore structure. Adsorbents constitutes of raw materials like silicate, coal, coconut and bauxite, which is utilized for manufacturing Adsorbents. Adsorbent is a chemical which is mostly utilized in purification process. This global report on Adsorbents market can be segmented and sub-segmented into the following categories:

Adsorbents Market - By Type

• Molecular Sieves
• Alumina Silica Gels
• Activated Carbons
• Activated Alumina
• Activated Charcoal
• Polymer Adsorbents
• Zeolites
• Activated Clay
• Metal Oxides
• Others

Molecular Sieves capture the largest shares as compared to remaining Adsorbents type, in global market. Molecular Sieves provides the, purpose of desiccants. Molecular Sieves has a lowest pore size, which allows tiny molecules to pass through it and is used to sustain state of dryness where ever it is placed area. It is also used in non-cryogenic production process of oxygen. Where Molecular sieves attain maximum purity of oxygen by adsorbing airborne present nitrogen molecules.

Activated Carbons are utilized in waste water treatments and exhaust emission of gases. Activated alumina is used in production process of hydrogen peroxide. Activated alumina Adsorbents, adsorbs injurious chemicals like fluoride, arsenic and elimination of sulfur in production process, as it acts as a catalyst medium.

The Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals sector is expected to capture the major shares as compare with other applications in Adsorbents market, globally. Adsorbents are utilized to remove contaminants in Petroleum Refining & Petrochemicals industry. Water, nitrogen, sulfur, acetylene and etc. are certain contaminants which are removed with help of Adsorbents.

In Gas Refining and Oil Refining industrial application, Adsorbents removes mercury, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, alcohol oxygenates, ethylene, butylene, propylene and various harmful solvents. In Natural Gas application, Adsorbents is used in dehydration treatment of natural gas liquids. Zeolite Adsorbents can remove or absorb, odor and taste from products used in personal care and hygiene. Air Separation & Drying, Adsorbents absorbs and removes carbon dioxide & Moisture present in air.  Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) removal, Adsorbents absorbs and removes harmful organic contaminants present in air of enclosed space, like office and rooms.  Refrigeration & Air Conditioning (RAC) Systems, Adsorbents helps to improve the performance of RAC system and aids in cooling and heating operation conditions. 

Impact of COVID-19 on the Adsorbents Market

In December 2022, lockdowns were imposed by local governments to stop further spread of Covid-19 virus. In 2022, World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 as an epidemic. The supply chain and delivery of Adsorbents type such as Molecular Sieves, Alumina Silica Gels, Activated Carbons, Activated Alumina, Activated Charcoal, Polymer Adsorbents, Zeolites, Activated Clay, Metal Oxides and etc., were delayed by manufacturing units and transportation agents. As companies or manufacturing units were completely shut down and imposed traffic monitoring delayed the logistics of Adsorbents type. According to associated press releases, the Adsorbent market will rise further in coming times, as lockdown imposed is lifted off and availability of increased number of Covid-19 vaccines for general population has started. Till March 2022, WHO has authorized nine types of vaccines for usage which are Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Novavax, BioNTech and others.
