CARBON MOLECULAR SIEVES (CMS) MARKET OVERVIEW

The global carbon molecular sieves (cms) market size was USD 0.14 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 0.2 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period.

Carbon molecular sieves (CMS), typically constructed from coconut shells, is the important ingredient of any PSA-Plant for the synthesis of Nitrogen. CarboTech is known across the world for breakthroughs in the field of activated carbon. One thing to come out of our research and development efforts has been carbon molecular sieve (CMS) technology which is employed in nitrogen manufacturing and other applications. Pressure swing adsorption is used by manufacturers to obtain high-purity nitrogen (PSA). The exceptionally pure nitrogen is then sent into downstream collection tanks, where it can be injected directly into the customer's grid. Compressed air is fed alternately into two containers containing carbon molecular sieves (CMS) which trap oxygen molecules.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Production to Impede Market Development

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with carbon molecular sieves (CMS) experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

COVID-19 had a negative effect on the market in 2020. The pandemic has slashed oil demand, driven down prices, and is posing a serious risk to people working in the oil production and processing industries. Many producers of carbon molecular sieves (CMS) and raw materials postponed the conclusion of all of their operations at their manufacturing facilities. Only after getting new instructions from government officials may production resume.

Latest Trends

Increasing Adoption of Zeolites to Expand Market Development

Interest in the uses of molecular sieve materials in catalysis has grown. These materials have a special type of selective catalytic action due to their capacity to distinguish based on molecular size, and they also have a strong resistance to sorption of big toxic molecules. Prior to now, zeolites were used to realize their main application, but new platinum catalysts have now been discovered in the Johnson Matthey Research Laboratories with similar qualities and a carbonaceous structure. In order to transform crude oil into finished petroleum products, zeolites are used as catalysts. Zeolite catalysts, which have a high selectivity, are frequently the most effective and economical processes, especially when turning refinery streams into high-octane gasoline blending stock.

Driving Factors

Technological Advancements to Drive Market Growth

In the past few decades, materials that, due to their structure, are able to selectively differentiate between molecules of different sizes have attracted increasing interest in the fields of adsorption and, to a lesser extent, catalysis. In contrast to branched hydrocarbons with tri- and tetra-alkyl substitution, which are too large to allow access to the internal pore structure, these materials, which are frequently referred to as molecular sieves, contain an internal volume of pores whose width is proportionate to the cross-sectional diameter of molecules like nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and the normal hydrocarbons. Therefore, selective adsorption differs from selective adsorption caused by a particular chemical reaction since it is caused by steric barrier to diffusion across the porous media which is expected to drive the carbon molecular sieves (CMS) market growth in the coming years.

Various Processing Techniques to Enhance Market Growth

The efficacy of carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes for separation depends significantly on the polymer precursor and processing technique. Using the synthetic polyimide 6FDA/BPDA-DAM, the authors previously established a method for processing polymers that involves oxygen exposure during pyrolysis. The purpose of this research was to I demonstrate the applicability of the oxygen doping technique using the commercial polymer Matrimid®, (ii) examine the membrane structures formed by the CMS, and (iii) engineer the CMS performance as seen with Matrimid® precursor by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature. The amorphous characteristics of the pore structures make examination of them difficult. The molecular sieving structure in the ultra-micropore area has been studied by numerous researchers using conventional characterization techniques like XRD and adsorption, but it is still unknown.

Restraining Factors

Hardening of product to Hamper Market Development

For cryogenic handling to avoid hardening or the production of hydrates, cracked gasses and olefin streams must be dehydrated. These olefin streams are filtered by molecular sieves to eliminate water and other impurities. Dehydration and purification of ethylene, propylene, butadiene, and other feedstock, dehydration and purification of fractured gasses and liquids, dehydration of naphtha feed, and drying hydrogen gas for acetylene converters are a few petrochemical processes that use molecular sieves.
