Desiccant & Adsorbent Market by Product, Application

List of Tables

[196 Pages Report] The Desiccant & Adsorbent Market size was estimated at USD 9.15 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 9.65 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.73% to reach USD 13.52 billion by 2030.

Desiccants are specialized drying agents that remove moisture from various materials, including solvents or insoluble compounds that absorb moisture owing to their compound properties. Porous adsorbents such as activated clay, silica gel, or molecular sieves use physical adsorption instead of chemical adsorption to protect the products. Desiccants keep a sealed package's contents from being damaged by humidity. Static adsorption & desiccation are used in noble gas separation, precipitation titration, and chromatographic methods in which the adsorbent or desiccant passively absorbs water and other contaminants. Huge demand is observed for desiccants & adsorbents in the oil & gas sector, the packaging business, and water treatment in developing economies, significantly increasing the utilization of desiccants & adsorbents. However, uncertain prices of raw materials and limited usability impede the adoption of desiccants & adsorbents. In addition, developing new-generation adsorbents and emerging production technologies is expected to create robust opportunities for creating desiccants & adsorbents.

Product: Extensive range of varied products used in gas, petroleum, and petrochemical plants

Activated alumina, which is a highly porous form of aluminum oxide. It is commonly used for water treatment and purification, as well as catalysts in the oil industry. Additionally, activated alumina finds applications in fluorescence in forensic and life sciences. Another effective adsorbent is activated carbon, which is known for its ability to adsorb pollutants and contaminants. Due to its wide range of pores and large surface area, activated carbon is commonly used in water treatment, air purification, and medical treatments. Ceramic balls, on the other hand, possess physical strength and thermal stability. They also have an absorbent capacity that makes them ideal for protecting more delicate catalysts in petrochemical applications. Molecular sieves are composed of alkali or alkaline earth metal aluminosilicates. They exhibit a strong selectivity and higher absorbent capacity for gasses and small molecule compounds. As a result, molecular sieves are extensively used in petrol refineries and natural gas drying processes. Silica gel, a nontoxic desiccant, is widely utilized for its strong affinity for water molecules. Its applications include food and pharmaceutical packing, electronics, and document preservation.

Application: Rising penetration of molecular sieves and silica gel in refractory and water treatment operation

Abrasives are utilized across a range of industries due to their exceptional properties. From construction fields to oil and gas operations, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals, they play a crucial role. These versatile materials can be employed in various processes such as grinding, polishing, sandblasting, and stone cutting. In the oil and gas industry, they are essential for drilling operations and maintenance. Additionally, they are useful in refractory and water treatment plants for grinding, cutting, cleaning equipment, and descaling. The significance of abrasives extends beyond surface alteration; they also contribute to prolonging machinery lifespan by reducing wear and tear and optimizing expenses. With their versatile applicability and numerous benefits, abrasives have become integral components in many industries.

Regional Insights

In North America, major chemical-producing companies are increasing their production capacity to meet domestic chemical demand. Adsorbents such as silica gel, synthetic resins, molecular sieves, polymeric adsorbents, and activated carbon are becoming more popular across the region due to their numerous potential advantages, including superior thermal stability and abrasion resistance. In the Asia-Pacific region, the growing public health concerns associated with the scarcity of freshwater and ongoing widespread programs to remove fluoride and sulfur from drinking water by several emerging countries are enhancing the utilization of desiccants & adsorbents. Rapidly growing population along with massive infrastructure development has improved regional wastewater management, thereby increasing the need for desiccants & adsorbents to remove non-degradable organic contaminants from groundwater. In the Middle East, adsorbents such as zeolite molecular sieves, active carbon, impregnated carbons, resins, and polymers play a significant role in the oil & gas sector.
