Metal‑Organic Framework (MOF) for CO₂ Capture Market Set to Reach $540.7 Million by 2034 – BIS Research

The global Metal‑Organic Framework (MOF) for CO₂ capture market was valued at $190.9 million in 2024 and is projected to grow to $540.7 million by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.07% during the forecast period (2025–2034). This rapid growth reflects the increasing adoption of MOFs across power generation, cement, oil & gas, and direct air capture (DAC) applications, where conventional sorbents fall short in efficiency, flexibility, or scalability.
Published 25 June 2025

What Is the Market Outlook? 

The MOF for CO₂ capture market is in a translational phase, shifting from lab-scale research to industrial deployment. Key drivers include strict emissions regulations, corporate net-zero commitments, and expanding funding for climate technologies. Regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific are witnessing significant research and pilot-scale projects, with emphasis on integrating MOFs into existing carbon capture infrastructures and new DAC systems. 

Governments are also incentivizing advanced material development through funding and carbon pricing mechanisms. This is creating strong momentum for MOF suppliers, material scientists, and engineering firms developing large-scale sorbent deployment systems. 


How Fast Is the Market Growing? 

According to BIS Research, the market will grow from $190.9 million in 2024 to $540.7 million by 2034, at a CAGR of 11.07%. This growth is being accelerated by: 

  • Rising global demand for high-performance CO₂ sorbents 
  • Commercialization of scalable synthesis techniques 
  • Successful pilot demonstrations in power and cement plants 
  • Growing policy support for negative-emission technologies like DAC

What Technologies Are Transforming the Market? 


  • Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) and UiO-series MOFs lead adoption due to stability and ease of functionalization. 
  • Post-synthetic modifications (e.g., amine-functionalization) boost CO₂ selectivity. 
  • Defect engineering and open metal sites allow for greater adsorption capacities. 
  • Scalable aqueous synthesis techniques are cutting production costs. 
  • MOFs are increasingly integrated with Direct Air Capture (DAC) and membrane systems for enhanced CO₂ removal efficiency. 

What’s Driving Demand and What Are the Barriers? 


Key Drivers: 


  • Climate Targets & ESG Pressure: Global carbon neutrality goals are accelerating CCUS technology investment. 
  • Superior Adsorption Properties: High selectivity and structural flexibility outperform conventional sorbents. 
  • Government Support: Funding from programs in the U.S., EU, and Japan is pushing R&D into commercialization. 


Key Restraints: 


  • High Production Costs: Lab-scale synthesis methods remain expensive and complex. 
  • Stability in Real-World Conditions: Some MOFs degrade under humidity or in the presence of impurities. 
  • Competition: Traditional methods like amine scrubbing and zeolites are well-established and cheaper. 


Opportunities: 


  • Integration with DAC: MOFs with ambient-temperature CO₂ uptake potential are ideal for air capture. 
  • Hybrid Capture Systems: MOFs used alongside membranes or chemical absorption systems to maximize capture efficiency.
