Activated Carbon Fiber Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.22% through 2030

Rising demand for air and water purification and growth in medical and healthcare sectors are factors driving the Global Activated Carbon Fiber Market in the forecast period 2026-2030.


According to the TechSci Research report, “Activated Carbon Fiber Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Activated Carbon Fiber Market stood at USD 4.12 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 6.22% through 2030. The expansion of industrial applications such as chemical processing, oil & gas refining, and metal recovery is contributing significantly to the growth of the ACF market. Activated carbon fiber is highly effective in adsorbing organic compounds, heavy metals, and other pollutants. In the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, it is used to purify gases and solvents, while in the metallurgical industry, it aids in gold and rare metal recovery. The growing preference for ACF over granular or powdered activated carbon due to its structural advantages and reusability is driving adoption across these high-demand industries.

The surging demand for high-performance energy storage solutions is contributing to the rapid growth of the ACF market. Activated carbon fiber is a critical material in the manufacturing of electrodes for supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries. With the global push toward renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage technologies are gaining momentum. The superior electrical conductivity and high surface area of ACF make it ideal for energy applications, thus positioning it as a key material in the global shift toward decarbonization and sustainable power systems.
