Nanoporous & Microporous Adsorbent Material General Briefing:

a) "The nanoporous and microporous adsorbents industry is a mature industry with a wide variety of products satisfying the requirements of well-established applications. However, the expanded scope and applicability of environmental regulations along with improving living standards around the world are stimulating significant increases in demand for these products. In addition to environmental forces, newly invented specialized nanoporous adsorbent products are creating novel market opportunities in electronics manufacturing and biomedical industry sectors. Over the next half-decade significant change will take place in global microporous adsorbent products and applications.

b) According to a CY 2006 updated report from BCC, the commercial applications global market for inorganic nanoporous and microporous adsorbents is currently estimated at over $1.77 billion. These include granular activated carbon (GAC), zeolites, clays, active alumina, silica gels, and other microporous materials. This market is expected to rise at an AAGR (average annual growth rate) of 3.7% to reach $2.12 billion by 2009.

    c) Zeolites account for nearly 61% of the total market and thus heavily influence overall market growth rates. Their applications range from detergent builders to high-end catalyst supports in the chemical and petroleum industry. Overcapacity in low-end zeolites and reduced obsolescence of improved high-end products will limit its AAGR to 3.1% in the next 5 years.

    d) Clay usage as adsorbents will be growing at an AAGR of 4.2% to a market size of $65 million in 2009. Clays are often used as adsorbents where purity is not a primary concern or as preliminary adsorbents upstream from other expensive adsorbents. Development of pillared intercalated layered clay (PILC) may offer a niche commercial opportunity during the forecast period.

    e) Activated alumina adsorbents make common catalyst support in the chemical processing industry. Their application in chromatographic separation columns is expected to accelerate in the biochemical sector. In next 5 years, active alumina adsorbents are projected to grow on average annually at a rate of 4.1%.

     f) Silica gels are the most common desiccants and drying agents. Their average annual growth rate will be fueled by applications in healthcare, building materials, and the high-end paper manufacturing industry.
