Impact Analysis of Covid-19
The complete version of the Report will include the impact of the COVID-19, and anticipated change on the future outlook of the industry, by taking into the account the political, economic, social, and technological parameters.
The Global Kaolin Market is emerging its market share due to rising industrial activities and emerging demand for paper packaging
The global kaolin market expected to increase market value by USD 7.5 billion, fueling CAGR in the forecast period from 2020-2027. The emerging demand for the worldwide kaolin market is growing due to the rising concern for environmental protection, increasing demand for ceramic products, paper, and paint are fueling the kaolin industries growth.
Kaolin is a fine-grained clay with kaolinite minerals as the main component and pure texture. It has white color, low price, good fluidity, stable chemical properties, and large surface cation exchange capacity, so it is an essential functional addition in the coating industry.
Moreover, under the trend of more and more daily-use ceramic production companies starting to purchase porcelain mud, kaolin companies with high-quality resources are actively exploring the vertical extension to the porcelain mud industry. Kaolin companies for ceramics have precious ceramic customer resources.
Furthermore, the application range of kaolin produced in different mining areas varies greatly. Kaolin companies with management advantages have begun to provide kaolin products across application areas. With the continuous integration of the kaolin industry, leading companies in the industry expected to further grow bigger and stronger with their resource endowments and technological advantages.
Process overview in the Global Kaolin Market
Based on the process, the global kaolin market segmented into Water-Washed, Airfloat, Calcined, Delaminated, and Surface-Modified & Unprocessed. The calcined segment estimated to dominate the maximum share of the global kaolin market. The properties and uses of calcined kaolin products at different temperatures are also different. Thus, kaolin different physical and chemical properties at different temperatures help in meeting market demand. Calcined kaolin is widely used in paints, coatings, papermaking, rubber and plastic products, cables, ceramics, and other industries due to its unique properties and advantages. Thus, it drives the market demand for kaolin. Among them, the application of high-quality calcined kaolin in paints and coatings accounts for 60% of all forms.
Application overview in the Global Kaolin Market
Based on the application, the global kaolin market segmented into Paper, Ceramic & Sanitaryware's, Fiberglass, Paints & Coatings, Rubber, Plastics. The paint segment will dominate the largest market share in the global kaolin market in the forecast period. It is mainly owing to kaolin used as a filling skeleton in the production of paint and coatings. Simultaneously, due to its excellent dispersion and chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and fire resistance, using kaolin as an additive in paint production can improve the adsorption capacity and hiding ability of the paint. Besides, titanium dioxide is a raw material for the production of coatings, which is relatively expensive, and kaolin can partially replace the product, thereby significantly reducing the production cost of sheets.
Region overview in the Global Kaolin Market
Based on geography, the global kaolin market segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific is the world's fastest-growing global kaolin market, accounting for the largest share. The emerging demand for growing industries such as paint, rubber, paper making contributing the market share of kaolin in different sectors. Moreover, the rising standard for food packaging includes paper, and board paper is also an increasing demand for kaolin in North America.
