Global Kaolin Market Research Report—Forecast till 2025
Market Overview
Global Kaolin Market is anticipated to expand at a healthy CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period. The kaolin clay is also known as white or china clay and is used for skincare treatment. The kaolin clay is the richest silica dioxide and has neutral pH hence it doesn’t make your skin dry. The kaolin clay market is attributed to the adoption of kaolin clay in the healthcare and cosmetic sector. Furthermore, the rising use of kaolin in the end-use industries such as paper and building & construction and the healthy growth of these industries is expected to propel the growth of the global kaolin market during the study period.
The global kaolin market is expected to witness a significant market expansion owing to the highest market value of USD 4,462.65 Million in 2018. The global market growth is driven by the adoption of kaolin clay in the production of high-grade ceramics, which is further used in the formulation of whitewares, such as tableware, sanitaryware, and tiles. Nevertheless, the availability of potential substitutes is estimated to restrain the growth of the global kaolin market. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the disruption of production and supply and is expected to hamper the global market. Furthermore, increasing activities on research & development, manufacturers have developed medical and cosmetic grades of kaolin to widen its application areas are also expected to fuel the growth of kaolin during the forecast period.
