In the past five years, relevant laws and policies have been successively introduced, and the technology research and development level of activated carbon enterprises has continuously improved, which has led to the growth of the market size of the activated carbon industry from 21.25 billion yuan in 2014 to 54.85 billion yuan in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 14.5%. In the next five years, it is expected that the market size of China's activated carbon industry will continue to grow at a growth rate of 12.8%, and the market size will reach about 82.9 billion yuan in 2023.

With the growth of consumer demand and the increasing support from the government for the activated carbon industry, China has gradually become a major producer of activated carbon. The production of activated carbon is rapidly increasing, and it is expected that the production of activated carbon in China will approach 1 million tons by 2025.

In order to drive the rapid development of the activated carbon industry, the country has successively introduced industry support policies to encourage the development of industry research talents, fundamentally stimulating industry investment. With the continuous market demand driving industry growth, it is expected that investment in China's activated carbon industry will further increase in the future, providing guarantees for industry development and promoting the growth of industry technology and scientific research service markets.

Against the backdrop of the reduction of production capacity in China's coal industry and the continuous transformation of coal enterprises, as well as the introduction of environmental protection industry policies by the country, more and more attention has been paid to flue gas treatment and sewage treatment. Various regions have responded one after another. In line with the country's development philosophy of green, low-carbon, and circular economy, China's activated carbon industry will develop under favorable policies, and the industry's prosperity will continue to improve.
