Kaolin Market Insights:

The global kaolin market is estimated to witness a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026). Kaolin is an essential industrial mineral paving its way through paper and pulp, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and mining industry. Kaolin is now widely adopted as a raw material in paints, rubber, cable insulation, and agricultural industries. Increasing demand for ceramics in the construction industry is the main factor driving the substantial growth of the market. Moreover, increasing construction activities in developing economies along with greater migration of rural population to urban centres, and rising investment in infrastructure development is expected to drive the market growth. However, the high mining cost of kaolin with higher accidental incidences, and high dependency on mining land are some of the factors hampering the market growth.

Kaolin Market Size: By Process

Based on the process, the market is segmented into water-washed, airfloat, calcined, delaminated, and surface-modified & unprocessed. Water-Washed segment is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.

Kaolin Market Size: By End-Use Industry

Based on the end-use industry, the market is segmented into paper, ceramics, paint & coatings, fiberglass, plastics, rubber, and cosmetics. The paper segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Qualities of enhancing numerous other paper properties such as ink absorption and holdout ink pigment, low lining propensity, and roughness, which, in turn, enhance the printability of paper, are some of the major factors propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising e-commerce activities, particularly in emerging countries, and increasing demand for paper in packaging and print media is projected to boost the market.

Kaolin Market Size: By Application

Based on application, the market is segmented into concrete and mortar. The Concrete segment is estimated to dominate the largest market share during the forecast period. Moreover, enhancing public infrastructure, and increasing consumer spending capacity is also expected to drive the growth of the market.

Kaolin Market Size: By Region

Based on region, the global kaolin market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Central & South America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is projected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period due to the rising demand for paper packaging due to various stringent government regulations, such as GB standards by China on human health safety. Increasing disposable income of consumers and ever-growing need for products, such as ceramics and rubber, also boosts the growth of the market. North America is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Growing product demand due to the increasing residential remodelling practices in the U.S., drifting consumer focus towards replacing wood floors with ceramic tiles drives the robust growth of the market. Moreover, Europe is also anticipated to witness a rapid pace during the forecast period due to growing ceramic production and consumption in the regions.
