Market Overview:
The global bentonite clay market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for bentonite clay from various applications such as molding sands, iron ore pelletizing, pet litter, drilling mud, civil engineering and agriculture. Additionally, the growing demand for bentonite clay from emerging economies is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, fluctuations in prices of raw materials used in manufacturing bentonite clay may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Bentonite clay is a type of clay that is composed of montmorillonite and other minerals. It is usually light brown or gray in color. Bentonite clay has a high content of minerals, including silica, alumina, iron oxide, and titanium dioxide. It also contains water-soluble minerals such as potassium and sodium. Bentonite clay has been used for centuries as a healing agent for various skin conditions. It is also used as an absorbent in detoxification programs and to remove toxins from the body.
Sodium Bentonite:
Sodium bentonite is a mineral, which has chemical formula of (KNaO)2.9(Al2SiO8). It is primarily used as an adsorbent and clay stabilizer. It also finds application in water treatment, oil recovery and coal ash handling industries. The product helps in the removal of chloride ions from water during drinking & cooking process thus making it safe for consumption purposes.
Calcium Bentonite:
Calcium bentonite is a type of clay that has high content of the mineral calcium. It is mined from deposits across the globe and its major sources are in Mexico, U.S., China, India, South Africa and Australia. The product finds wide range applications in oil & gas industry for drilling purposes as it acts as a lubricant hence preventing drill bit to get caught up on any hard surfaces which reduces friction thereby increasing efficiency by reducing cost substantially.
Application Insights:
Molding sands were the largest application segment and accounted for a volume share of over 80.0% in 2017. Bentonite clay is used as an additive in molding sand to improve its flow properties, thereby making it suitable for use in concrete and other similar applications. The product also has a positive impact on productivity as compared to other clays, which helps reduce the cost associated with production significantly.
The iron ore pelletizing segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand from steel manufacturing companies across China, India & Brazil that are majorly dependent on imported raw materials including iron ore.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major part of global bentonite clay production owing to large reserves of natural resources, including kaolin and silica. China is one of the leading producers as well as consumers of bentonite clay products globally. The country also exports a significant amount of product to other countries in Asia Pacific, especially those with large population such as India and Indonesia.
Europe accounted for more than 20% share in 2017 on account that it is one among the top exporters globally along with being a major importer from Russia which has huge reserves there. Germany, France, Italy are some prominent markets where demand from construction sector has driven product usage over last few years accounting for high consumption across Europe particularly within construction sector due to growing need for molding sands across various applications including automotive manufacturing plants etc.).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the cosmetics industry for bentonite clay as a natural and organic ingredient in skin care products.
- Growing popularity of bentonite clay as a detoxifying agent in health and wellness circles.
- Increasing use of bentonite clay in personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks.
- Rising demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging materials made from natural ingredients like bentonite clay.
