How is Growing Demand for Charcoal in Water Treatment Plants Driving Charcoal Market?

2020-04-03 18:59:21 | Charcoal Market
The swift industrialization has resulted in the increased amount of pollutants in the water. As per the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Environmental Outlook to 2050, published in 2012, the requirement for water worldwide is expected to grow by over 55% by 2050. Hence, in order to provide clean drinking water to people, the need for managing wastewater through treatment plants is surging. This has led to the rising adoption of Japanese white charcoal for water purification purposes, since it enriches the water with natural minerals and eliminate chemicals from it. Furthermore, the use of activated charcoal carbon filters is an effective means of removing volatile organic compounds, foul odor, chlorine, and several other sediments from the water.

Charcoal, a porous black solid, is obtained as a residue by heating wood or any other organic material in the absence of oxygen. It is the amorphous form of carbon and has higher calorific value and lower ignition temperature than wood. In 2018, the global charcoal market reached a value of $5,882.8 million and is projected to attain $6,566.5 million in 2024, advancing at a 1.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2019–2024). Different types of charcoal include sugar charcoal, charcoal briquettes, Japanese charcoal, and lump charcoal. Among all these, the largest demand was created for lump charcoal during 2014–2018.


There are various applications of charcoal, namely filtration, barbecue, metallurgical fuel, industrial, and others (which include pharmaceutical, automotive, medical, horticulture, and arts). Out of these, the largest demand for charcoal was created by the barbecue application and the situation is going to be the same during the forecast period as well. The growing popularity of barbecued food is a key trend that is being observed in the charcoal market. Charcoal is increasingly being used as a fuel for cooking barbecued food as it provides a caramelized exterior and smoky flavor to the food.

Apart form barbecued food, the popularity of grilled food is also growing, primarily because of several health benefits that are associated with it. Grilled food is low in fat since the excess oil drips off the grates during the cooking process. In addition to this, the grilling process locks in more moisture and consumes less butter or oil, due to which the nutritional value of the food is not compromised. The health consciousness among people is rising as well, which is why they are opting for healthier food. Hence, all these factors are leading to the growing demand for charcoal.

Among different regions, namely Europe, Latin America (LATAM), Middle East and Africa (MEA), North America, and Asia-Pacific, the highest demand for charcoal is expected to be created by the LATAM region during the forecast period. The reason for this the surging adoption of charcoal in the energy industry, for usage in metallurgy and power generation, and the rising production of cement in the region. Furthermore, different metal producers in the region are utilizing charcoal instead of coal to decrease the dependency on coal. In the coming years, the fastest growth in demand for charcoal is projected to be witnessed by the MEA region.
