TIGG LLC (US) and Puragen Activated Carbons (US) are leading players in Activated Carbon Filters Market

The global activated carbon filters market size is estimated at USD 267 Million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 330 Million by 2025, at a CAGR of 4.4%, between 2020 and 2025. Activated carbon filters are used to remove organic compounds, and free chlorine from water to make it suitable for drinking and reuse in manufacturing processes or to discharge in water bodies. They are used to remove organic elements, such as humic acid and fulvic acid from potable water to prevent the formation of trihalomethanes, a class of carcinogens. They are also used for air/gas filtration in various industries. The filter media, which is used in the filtration process is activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal. Activated carbon is a form of carbon that removes organic compounds from liquids and gases by a process known as “adsorption”. It is extremely porous and thus has a very large surface area available for adsorption.

COVID-19 impact on Global High Performance Fluoropolymers Market

The high performance fluoropolymer (HPF) market is projected to grow from USD 3.1 billion in 2020 to USD 4.3 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 7.0%. The growth of the high performance fluoropolymer industry can be attributed to its high demand from various end-use industry and growing demand from renewables.

The high performance fluoropolymers are used mainly in the industrial processing. COVID-19 has severely impacted this industry

HPFs are used in end-use industries such as transportation, electrical & electronics, medical, food processing, chemical processing, oil & gas, power plants, and building & construction. They are used in the industrial processing, where high thermal and chemical resistance is essential to conduct the operation. Due to the ongoing pandemic, industrial production has been severely affected throughout the world. Workforce shortage, logistical restrictions, material unavailability, and other restrictions have drastically slowed the growth of the industry.

COVID-19 has led the industrial and manufacturing sectors into an unknown operating environment globally. Government restrictions on the number of people that can gather at one place have severely impacted the sector. For example, the component manufacturing sector is heavily hit by the impact of the virus. The production and factory operations in the automotive, electronics, and aerospace are on halt. Most of the industries are dependent on China for raw material supply. Hence, supply chain disruptions also have a major impact on industrial output. The global economy is contracting due to the pandemic.

APAC is projected to be the fastest-growing HPF market

APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market for HPF, owing to the presence of large manufacturing and highly populated countries, such as China and India. China, India, Japan, Indonesia, and South Korea are some of the key countries in the HPF market in this region. In 2019, China accounted for the largest share of the APAC market, owing to the presence of huge chemical, automotive, medical, and electronics industries. The growing production of automobiles, consumer household, medical disposables, and their increasing demand across the region boosts the demand for HPF. Growth in the manufacturing of automobiles and electronics hardware across the region is expected to grow further with changing demographics. Owing to which APAC is projected to be the fastest-growing HPF market.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic is expected to impact the global manufacturing sector. COVID-19 led the manufacturing sector into an unknown operating environment, globally. Government restrictions on the number of people that can gather at one particular place, severely impacted the industrial output. HPFs are used in end-use industries such as transportation, electrical & electronics, medical, food processing, chemical processing, oil & gas, power plants, and building & construction. They are used in the industrial processing, where high thermal and chemical resistance is essential to conduct the operation. Due to the ongoing pandemic, industrial production has been severely affected throughout the world. Workforce shortage, logistical restrictions, material unavailability, and other restrictions have drastically slowed the growth of the industry.

Plastics gaining preference over conventional materials

 

Antioxidants are used in a wide range of polymers such as PE, PP, and PVC. These plastics are used in industries such as packaging, building & construction, and automotive. Plastics have superior mechanical and electrical properties, enhanced abrasion resistance, and superior chemical resistance than conventional materials such as metals, glass, paper, and ceramic. Continuous innovation and the need for more lightweight materials in several industries have led to the replacement of metals, glass, paper, and ceramic with plastics in packaging, building & construction, and automotive industries. This is expected to drive the market for plastic antioxidants.

In the automotive industry, particularly in automobile designing, plastics have contributed to several innovations in safety, fuel efficiency, and performance. For instance, airbags made from high-strength polymer fabric can reduce the risk of fatal injury in a direct, frontal car crash. Other advancements include child safety seats, roof linings, steering wheel, dashboard, fenders, as well as fuel system, headlamp covers, and other exterior parts that are directly exposed to heat and light.

The plastic antioxidants market size is estimated to be USD 2.0 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Factors such as plastics replacing conventional materials, increasing demand in medical industry, and rapid urbanization in developing countries will drive the plastic antioxidants market. The major restraint for the market will be adverse effect on health from synthetic plastics antioxidants. However, the untapped demand in the agricultural sector of developing countries will act as an opportunity for the market.

Phenolic antioxidant is estimated to be the largest type in 2019.

Antioxidants are classified on the basis of their ability to interrupt the overall oxidation process. Chain breaking and preventive mechanisms are the two major antioxidant mechanisms that interfere with polymer oxidation cycles. The two classes of antioxidants identified are chain-breaking or primary antioxidants and preventive or secondary antioxidants. Primary antioxidants react rapidly and are, therefore, referred to as radical scavengers. Phenolic antioxidants are primary antioxidants, which interfere with chain propagation by terminating the free radical. They are used for plastics or polymer systems that are sensitive to thermal and oxidative degradation due to the formation of peroxides and free radicals. Phenolic antioxidants protect plastics or other polymers against degradation and oxidation at high processing temperatures.

The region is characterized by a growing population and economic developments. The increasing population in the region, accompanied by increasing construction spending in the developing markets of China, India, and Indonesia, is projected to make this region an ideal destination for the plastic industry. This, in turn, is expected to drive the plastic antioxidants industry in the near future. The increase in employment rate, the rise in disposable income of the people, and an increase in foreign investments in various industries of the economy are some of the other factors that make APAC an attractive market for plastic antioxidants manufacturers.

The key market players profiled in the report include BASF SE (Germany), Songwon (South Korea), Adeka Corporation (Japan), Solvay (Belgium), SK Capital (US), Clariant (Switzerland), Sumitomo Chemical (Japan), 3V Sigma S.p.A (Italy), and Dover Chemical Corporation (US).
