Market Analysis and Insights: Global Activated Carbon Fiber (ACF) Market

Activated carbon fiber is a type of carbonated fiber that is made of cellulosic, PAN, phenolic, and pitch fibers, and it is new type advanced material which is different from granular or powder activated carbon.

ACF's diameter is approximately 5 to 30 μm which is very fine compared to granular activated carbon (grain diameter 500 to 5000 μm), and it has larger surface area. Since ACF's pore diameter is approximately 15 to 20Å and most of pores are micro pores, the speed of adsorption and desorption is fast. Moreover, it has excellent for adsorption in low concentration.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global Activated Carbon Fiber (ACF) market size is estimated to be worth US$ 326.3 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 486.4 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period 2023-2029. Fully considering the economic change by this health crisis, Viscose Staple based accounting for % of the Activated Carbon Fiber (ACF) global market in 2022, is projected to value US$ million by 2029, growing at a revised % CAGR from 2023 to 2029. While Solvent Recovery segment is altered to an % CAGR throughout this forecast period.

Toyobo is the leaders of the activated carbon fiber (ACF) industry, which take about 40% market share. Asia Pacific is the major region of the global market, which takes about 78% market share. In terms of product, cellulosic fiber is the largest segment, with a share over 40%. And in terms of application, the largest application is air purification, followed by solvent recovery.
