ACTIVATED CARBON WORLDWIDE Globally, the export of activated carbon is expected to grow in the coming years. According to research by ReportsnReports, the global market by value for activated carbon is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% between CY2017 and CY2021 to reach $8.12 billion. The market by volume is also expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% during the same period. ‘MATERIAL’ BENEFITS While the raw material used in the production of activated carbon varies, the demand from India has mostly been for carbon produced from coconut shells. According to the Coconut Development Board, the export of activated carbon is driving the exports of coconut and coconut-based products from India. The reason, manufacturers and exporters say, is that the carbon content and quality of charcoal produced from coconuts is better. And India has the advantage here, specifically South India, as the region produces huge quantities of coconut. Activated carbon from coconut shells is produced using steam. According to Coconut Development Board, converting a coconut shell into activated carbon is a two-part process. First, the coconut shell is converted into charcoal through a carbonization process. |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN VADODARA| |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN KARNATAKA| |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN SIKKIM| |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN RAJSHTHAN| |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN NAGPUR| |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN CHENNAI| |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN ASSAM| |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN PUNJAB| |ACTIVATED CARBON MANUFACTURER IN GUJARAT|
