At 4.3% CAGR, North America Industrial Absorbents Market is Projected to be worth US$ 1,262.98 million by 2031, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the North America industrial absorbents market was valued at US$ 904.24 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1,262.98 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.3% from 2023 to 2031. Biodegradable absorbents and growing demand for absorbent products tailored for emergency preparedness are among the critical factors attributed to drive the North America industrial absorbents market growth.

With burgeoning microplastic pollution and increasing awareness about environmental sustainability, there is a rising demand for biodegradable absorbents made from natural and organic materials. Conventional industrial absorbents are made of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyurethane, which are effective in cleaning oil and other liquid spills; however, they end up in landfills, potentially leaching harmful chemicals and microplastics into the environment over time. Therefore, manufacturers are developing sustainable alternatives that help in the effective cleanup of spills while being less hazardous to the environment. For instance, in August 2023, EarthSafe expanded its portfolio of spill containment products by introducing FlashDry coir absorbent, which is sustainable and made from 100% organic husks. It is classified as a universal hazmat absorbent that works for all kinds of spills. Its hydrophobic and oleophilic properties make it ideal for various industrial spills, such as automotive fluids, lubricants and degreasers, marine oil spills, paints, chemicals, and resins. Such products are trending in the industrial absorbents market and are expected to witness tremendous demand in the coming years.

The companies in the industrial absorbents market are also looking for innovative natural materials to develop lightweight absorbents. For instance, in January 2019, the Department of Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, announced the sanctioning of repayable loans to Hi-Point Industries, a manufacturer of oil absorbents, to boost international export of its lightweight industrial absorbent—clangor—made from naturally occurring blonde sphagnum peat moss. Industrial absorbents made with natural materials help manufacturing companies comply with environmental regulations. These absorbents are being extensively used to clean hazardous hydrocarbon oil spills in the most environment-friendly way. Thus, companies in the industrial absorbents market are significantly investing in research and development to develop eco-friendly absorbents that soak petroleum products.
