Increased Use in Different End-Use Industries Drives Asia Pacific Industrial Absorbents Market

Oil & gas, chemicals, food processing, healthcare, and personal care industries are among the major end users of industrial absorbents. They are used to clean large- and small-scale oil spills in the oil & gas industry. Accidental spillage of oil due to fuel discharge during oil processing, leakage through large-scale offshore petroleum units, mishaps during oil drilling, and oil transportation through oceanic routes can prove as a severe threat to the surrounding environment. Oil spillage worsens the water quality and adversely affects the aquatic ecosystem. A surge in the incidents of oil spillage triggers the demand for industrial absorbents in the oil & gas industry. In the chemicals industry, a chemical spill generally occurs while transporting stored chemicals. Industrial absorbents are broadly used for cleaning such hazardous chemicals. Companies in the Asia Pacific industrial absorbents market are capitalizing on research and development to develop absorbents that soak petroleum products. In the food processing industry, absorbents are used to prevent food ingredients such as meat, fish, or poultry from drying out during storage or transportation while retaining the original flavor and appearance of the product. Therefore, the rising use of industrial absorbents in various end-use industries contributes to market growth.
