4A Type is Projected to be the Dominant Segment of the Global Molecular Sieve Desiccants Market During the Forecast Period

Pune, India, August 2019, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has Published a Cooked Research Report on the Global Molecular Sieve Desiccants Market.

Market Highlights

The Global Molecular Sieve Desiccants Market is estimated to be valued at USD 746.7 Million and record a CAGR of 6.53% during the forecast period. The selective adsorption characteristics of molecular desiccants have increased its preference over other types of desiccants. The oil & gas and automotive & transportation industries are highly contributing to the growth of the global molecular sieve desiccants market owing to its characteristics.

Segmental Analysis

According to MRFR analysis, the global molecular sieve desiccants market has been segregated based on form, type, application, and region.

The forms of molecular sieve desiccants analyzed are beads, pellets, and powder. Among these, the bead segment accounted for the largest market share and was valued at USD 280 million in 2018.  The growth of this segment is attributed to its relatively large-scale consumption across various industrial verticals.

The types of molecular sieve desiccants are 3A, 4A, 5A, 13X, and others. The 4A segment accounted for the largest share of 46.3% in 2018 and is expected to register a CAGR of around 7% during the forecast period. The low cost of 4A type on account of its virgin state and no processing requirement is contributing to the growth of the segment.

The application segments of the global molecular sieve desiccants market are refinery; industrial drying; air brakes; packaging; coatings, adhesives, sealants & elastomers; refrigerant; insulation glass; and others. Among these, the refinery segment held the largest share of the global market in 2018. The segment was valued at USD 238,854.0 thousand in 2018 and is likely to be the dominant segment during the forecast period due to the widespread use of molecular sieve desiccants for purification and dehydration of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, synthetic gas, and removal of mercaptans, CO2, H2S, and other impurities.
