Greater industrial activity, rising living standards and stricter environmental legislation will all stimulate demand for activated carbon in water treatment, automotive canisters, the control of VOC emissions from manufacturing plants, and soft drinks and alcoholic beverage processing in industrialising countries. Maturing markets for granular activated carbon are raising demand for regeneration capacity in industrialised countries. Since 1994 it has increased by over 15,000tpy, as Norit and Sutcliffe Speakman entered the UK market and Calgon Carbon entered the Japanese market. This report is the result of an extensive programme of research by Roskill analysts. They have interviewed major industry players and conducted a close appraisal of information from a wide variety of sources, including governments, trade associations, company reports, leading producers, official organisations, trade journals and technical literature.
Information gathering is only the first step in preparing a report.
