A fine black powder known as activated charcoal is made by heating regular charcoal to produce holes that increase the material's ability to adsorb substances. Adsorption is the attachment of molecules to the surface as opposed to absorption, which is the process of things being taken up into the absorbent material. Because of its large surface area and porous structure, activated charcoal is very good at adhering to chemicals and poisons and preventing the digestive system from absorbing them. It is frequently used in emergency medicine to treat poisonings because it traps dangerous compounds and keeps them from entering the bloodstream. Because activated charcoal may remove pollutants from the skin, it is also used in a lot of skincare and cosmetic products.

The market for activated charcoal is driven by a number of major factors worldwide. The demand for activated charcoal has increased due to rising awareness of environmental degradation and the necessity of efficient water and air purification systems. The market is growing because of its many uses, which include water filtering in industries and medicinal treatments for drug overdoses. The market is further driven by the increasing use of activated charcoal in the food and beverage sector, especially for food processing and decaffeination. Moreover, the growing acceptance of activated charcoal-containing cosmetics and personal hygiene items contributes to the market momentum. Activated charcoal's eco-friendliness and renewable nature make it more appealing to consumers as sustainability gets traction.
