The market demand for palm shell activated carbon is growing and the industry development prospects are good

Palm shell activated carbon belongs to fruit shell activated carbon. It is an activated carbon material made from high-quality palm shells as raw materials through a series of processes such as screening, water vapor carbonization, impurity removal, and activation screening. Palm shell activated carbon generally appears black in appearance, including granules, flakes, powder and other forms. Palm shell activated carbon has the characteristics of stable chemical properties, large specific surface area, durability, and easy regeneration. It is widely used in wastewater treatment, food, beverage, chemical industry, wine brewing and other fields.

According to the “2022-2026 China Palm Shell Activated Carbon Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, In recent years, as global environmental protection efforts have increased, air management and sewage treatment standards have become higher and higher, which has driven the growth of the activated carbon market. In 2020, the global activated carbon market will reach 35.2 billion yuan. Against this background, my country’s palm shell activated carbon market demand has also maintained a growth trend. It is expected that from 2021 to 2026, my country’s palm shell activated carbon market demand will increase from 26,000 tons to 48,000 tons.

Palm shell activated carbon uses palm shells as the main raw material. In China, palm shells are mainly produced in Taiwan, Yunnan, Fujian, Guangxi, Guangdong and other regions. Due to the limited origin of palm shells, domestic palm shell production is not enough to meet the development of the domestic palm shell activated carbon market. demand, so my country’s palm shell activated carbon raw materials still rely on imports, and imports come from Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries.

Due to limitations in raw materials, the market price of palm shell activated carbon is higher than other conventional activated carbons, resulting in great restrictions on its application in mid- to low-end fields. However, compared with coconut shell activated carbon, palm shell activated carbon has low cost, and the composition characteristics of palm shell activated carbon are similar to coconut shell activated carbon. Therefore, palm shell activated carbon can be used as an excellent substitute for coconut shell activated carbon. As a high-performance activated carbon, the development of palm shell activated carbon industry is encouraged and supported by national policies, and the future development prospects of the industry are good.

In terms of production companies, my country’s palm shell activated carbon production companies mainly include Shanxi Dajin Activated Carbon Technology Co., Ltd., Huzhou Senqi Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., Jingmao Carbon (Dongguan) Co., Ltd., Gongyi Yuzhou Water Purification Material Factory, Henan Linsen Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., Chengde Rehe Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., Tangshan Tianhe Activated Carbon Co., Ltd., etc. In recent years, driven by the active layout of relevant enterprises and the upgrading of market demand, the structure of my country’s palm shell activated carbon industry has been adjusted, and the industry has been upgraded towards diversification and high-end development.

Industry analysts said that palm shell activated carbon has a large specific area and excellent adsorption performance. It is widely used in wastewater treatment, food, beverages, Liquor brewing and other fields. Restricted by the origin of raw materials, the market price of palm shell activated carbon is relatively high, which to a certain extent limits its application in the mid- to low-end markets. However, as a high-performance activated carbon, under the background of government support, corporate assistance, and rising demand, palm shell activated carbon The market development prospects are good.
