Activated Carbon For Pharma & Healthcare Market Growth & Trends:
The global activated carbon for pharma & healthcare market size is anticipated to reach USD 652.1 million by 2030 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for activated carbon in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors continues to grow, largely due to its exceptional ability to purify and adsorb contaminants. In hospitals, it plays a vital role in maintaining clean air and water, while in pharmaceutical manufacturing, it's used to remove impurities and unwanted colorants from medications. Medical-grade activated carbon, approved for human use, is also a critical tool in emergency medicine for treating poisonings. It works by binding to toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, stopping them from being absorbed into the body, a life-saving measure in cases of overdose or accidental ingestion.
This rising demand is also tied to the significant challenge posed by hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in the U.S. Each year, approximately 1.7 million patients, roughly 5% to 10% of those hospitalized, develop an HAI, with close to 100,000 resulting deaths. These numbers highlight a serious public health concern that exceeds the impact of many other major diseases. To combat this, healthcare facilities are turning to advanced purification technologies, with activated carbon being a top choice due to its efficiency in filtering harmful particles and pathogens.
In addition, activated carbon is heavily utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for its high porosity and excellent adsorption capabilities, which are enhanced through thermal processing. These properties allow it to effectively remove contaminants, pigments, and residues during drug production, improving the final product's quality and safety.
