The global molecular sieve adsorbents market size was USD 1219.9 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 1938.4 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period.

Molecular sieve adsorbents are known as zeolites. It is an aluminosilicate with a unique structure that allows water crystallization removal. 

The factors which are responsible for accelerating market growth are growing demand from the automotive and transportation sector. The product has several benefits, such as preventing the corrosion of metallic parts in air brake systems of buses, trains, and heavy-medium-sized several trucks. It is a cable separating liquids or gases by molecular size or polarity. Further, growing demand for the product in the automotive sector coupled with the increased manufacturing process of Zeochem’s proprietary is anticipated to accelerate market progress. Increased technology development and rapid progress in the chemical sector are predicted to surge market growth in the forthcoming years. On the contrary, lack of availability and presence of alternative products such as calcium oxide, silica gel, calcium sulfate, and montmorillonite. Also, the high cost of the sieves is projected to restrict market growth over the forecast period.  

COVID-19 Impact: Closure of Manufacturing Units and Lockdown Restriction to Restrict Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with molecular sieve adsorbents experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected several businesses, including molecular sieve adsorbents market, due to lockdown restrictions. Closure of manufacturing units coupled with lower demand for the equipment restricted market progress. A shutdown of the oil and gas sector coupled with the chemical sector hamper market progress.
