Market perspective
Spherical Active Carbon (Spherical Active Carbon, SAC) body structure is a spherical shell containing at least one layer made of activated carbon material. The spherical shell is a spherical core body, which can be made of inorganic materials different from the spherical shell material 10mm, the wall thickness of the spherical shell is not less than 0.5mm, preferably 1-1.5mm.
At present, the technical barriers in this market are very high. Only a few players can produce this product. Kureha Corporation has a 70% market share and occupies an absolute market advantage. Although many Chinese manufacturers advertise that they can imitate Kureha's products, in fact few of them can achieve the corresponding technical indicators. At present, only Shanxi Xinhua Chemical in China can produce Spherical Activated Carbon in small quantities, but there is still a big gap between technical indicators and product characteristics. Except for manufacturers in Japan and China, few players in other parts of the world have entered this market.
