Activated Carbon Filters Market Segmentation:

Application Segment Analysis

The industrial water pollution treatment segment is expected to hold 45% share of the global activated carbon filters market during the forecast period. The growth of this sector is due to the presence of large amounts of waste accumulated in industrial landfills, which are then dumped into rivers, the source of pure water. About 300 to 400 tonnes of contaminated waste is dumped each year by industries around the world, according to a report to be released in 2021. In addition, the lack of availability of fresh and clean water is also a factor contributing to the expansion of industrial water pollution treatment, which is expected to further boost the market. Almost 70% of India's surface water is no longer fit for consumption due to rapid urbanization. In addition, about 40 million liters of wastewater enter rivers every year.

Type Segment Analysis

The stainless steel case segment in the activated carbon filters market is expected to hold a large share. Stainless steel is often used due to its higher chromium content and better heat distribution than carbon steel cases. In addition, it has been observed that carbon steel shells are prone to rust, whereas stainless steel is less corrosive. This will allow you to cope with extreme weather conditions. The total global stainless steel production in 2021 is estimated to be about 60 million tons.
