Mercury Removal Adsorbents Market Share, Revenue, Price, Growth Rate Ranking Analysis Report 2026-2032
On Feb 5, Global Info Research released "Global Mercury Removal Adsorbents Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032". This report includes an overview of the development of the Mercury Removal Adsorbents industry chain, the market status of Mercury Removal Adsorbents Market, and key enterprises in developed and developing market, and analysed the cutting-edge technology, patent, hot applications and market trends of Mercury Removal Adsorbents.
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Mercury Removal Adsorbents market size was valued at US$ 226 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 302 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.3% during review period.
Mercury removal adsorbents are engineered media loaded into fixed guard beds or injected into process streams to capture elemental mercury, ionic mercury and organomercury species from gas, liquid and flue gas. In natural gas and LNG pretreatment these adsorbents, often proprietary metal sulfide or promoted alumina chemistries, sit upstream of cryogenic heat exchangers and hydrogenation catalysts and strip mercury to protect aluminum brazed exchangers from catastrophic embrittlement and to prevent catalyst poisoning. Honeywell UOP publicly positions regenerable HgSIV molecular sieve beds and non regenerable metal oxide beds specifically for mercury removal in natural gas, LPG and other light hydrocarbon streams in order to protect downstream equipment and extend run length.
In coal fired power plants, cement kilns and hazardous waste incinerators, powdered activated carbon such as Calgon Carbon FLUEPAC is pneumatically injected into hot flue gas where its extremely high surface area adsorbs oxidized and elemental mercury. Calgon Carbon describes powdered activated carbon injection as best available control technology for mercury capture in flue gas and reports decades of commercial supply into coal utilities and waste combustors to meet tightening stack emission rules. Wastewater and groundwater polishing systems use functionalized alumina media such as Sorbster Hg 1 which covalently bonds dissolved ionic mercury onto engineered active sites and can drive outlet concentrations down to parts per billion in industrial water cleanup and remediation campaigns.
On the supply side, upstream inputs are specialty porous solids such as activated carbon, promoted alumina, metal sulfide impregnated pellets and noble metal supported media, all of which require controlled formulation, impregnation and shaping know how similar to refinery catalyst manufacturing. Leading suppliers in 2024 include Honeywell UOP, Calgon Carbon Corporation, Johnson Matthey, Cabot Corporation, Pall Corporation, BASF, Axens, SLB, UNICAT Catalyst Technologies, and multiple Chinese fixed bed and high temperature flue gas sorbent makers.
These companies typically deliver either replaceable guard bed loads for gas plants and refineries or bulk powders for air pollution control. The downstream buyers are natural gas processors and LNG liquefaction trains, refinery hydrogen and syngas purification units, coal fired and waste to energy plants subject to mercury air toxics standards, and industrial wastewater treatment contractors that guarantee discharge compliance. Commercial practice is often multi year frame agreements or repeated spot reloads rather than one off capital projects, because mercury beds and powdered carbons are consumable media that saturate and must be changed out, which locks in recurring demand and supports specialty margin levels around the low to mid twenties as a percent of sales for purification adsorbents and guard bed media in refining and gas processing. This is consistent with how UNICAT and similar purification players frame their value proposition, emphasizing long adsorbent life, run length extension, catalyst protection and on site technical support rather than commodity bulk chemistry alone.
In the current market, global production is around 22300 metric tons of mercury removal adsorbent media in 2024, with an average selling price of about 9552 United States dollars per metric ton on an EXW basis. The supplier landscape is moderately concentrated. Multiple recent industry summaries list Honeywell UOP, Calgon Carbon Corporation, Johnson Matthey, Cabot Corporation and Pall Corporation among the dominant vendors for mercury removal adsorbents alongside BASF, Axens, SLB, UNICAT, and Chinese players such as Beijing Sanju, Nanjing Linda and Nanjing Zhengsen. Aggregating these top suppliers indicates that the top five groups control roughly forty five to fifty five percent of global revenue, which is typical of a mature purification and emissions control niche where technology qualification, safety critical duty and regulatory liability favor incumbents. Asia Pacific demand is accelerating as China and other regional industrial bases tighten mercury emissions and wastewater discharge rules and expand coal to chemicals, LNG import and hazardous waste incineration capacity. Public market research snapshots in 2025 describe Asia Pacific as approaching forty percent of incremental growth, with China alone cited above twenty percent of global demand share.
