Key findings
Kaolin accelerates gloss, brightness and smoothness of the material which further improves the printability of the paper. Increase in demand of the minerals from paper and paint industry also increased due to these properties over the forecasted period.
For the production of OPC (ordinary Portland cement) metakaolin is used. As metakaolin ability is to increase hydration in the material, this incorporates high resistance in efflorescence. This characteristics helps in increasing the market growth of kaolin globally.
The high growth in infrastructure development in developing regions such as India, China & Indonesia etc. and rising population and living standards are the key reasons for the high growth of the construction industry which results in high growth of kaolin industry.
Market segment insight
Paper segment in kaolin industry is the largest application segment globally and owns largest market share. Kaolin is used in paper industry as a paper coating agent and improves various properties such as printability and appearance. Kaolin is also used as a substitute of calcium carbonate as a coating of paper. The demand for minerals in the paint industry is growing as it improves gloss and color of the material which contribute high growth in kaolin market. It also increase the shelf life of the product.
Regional insight
APAC kaolin market is accounted for over 30% of the market share globally. The high growth of paper and paint industry is the key reason for owning large market share regionally. Growth in ceramic manufacturing industries in china fuel the growth of kaolin industry over the forecasted period. Developing region is the highest potential market over the next few years, as the construction projects are increasing therefore it is expected that the demand of kaolin grow over the period. In Europe economic slowdown is one of the key challenges for the market growth of kaolin in terms of manufacturing and construction industry.
