Market Overview:
The global Fuller's Earth market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X% during the forecast period. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for refined animal oil and vegetable oils, and refining of mineral oils. In terms of type, the wet technology segment is expected to account for a major share of the global Fuller's Earth market during the forecast period. However, the dry technology segment is projected to register highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to its growing demand from end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Product Definition:
A type of clay that is used to absorb oils.
The Wet Technology:
The wet technology is a method of mining where the minerals are extracted from the earth without changing its physical properties. The water used in this method is either recycled or fresh water. In this process, the soil remains unaffected and can continue to provide natural fertility for plants.
The Dry Technology:
The dry technology is used to eliminate the liquid from the fuller's earth market. It is a process of separating solid particles from a solution by adsorption, usually using activated carbon as an adsorbent. The dry technology can be applied to any soil or mud sample and has been used in agriculture, geology, hydrology (water resources), forensics (crime scene investigation), environmental science and engineering for decades.
Application Insights:
Refining of animal oil and vegetable oils is the major application segment and accounted for over 60% of the total revenue in 2017. The use of fullers earth as a refining aid helps to remove impurities from animal or vegetable fats and oils. It acts as a carrier for carrying fatty acids, which are released from triglycerides during processing.
Fuller's earth is used in refineries across the globe to process edible oilseeds such as soybean, palm, rapeseed (Colombia & Ecuador), cottonseed (India & China) and sunflower seed among others. The product also finds applications in lubricant manufacturing along with mineral oil refining activities globally owing to its properties including odor absorption and filtration that help enhance production output at lower costs over time compared with other filters such as activated carbon or diatomaceous earths alone.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region, with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for lubricants in countries such as China and India. The presence of major automotive manufacturers in this region will boost the product demand further over the forecast period. In addition, rising production levels of lightweight motor vehicles will augment market growth over the coming years.
Europe was estimated as one of the largest regional Fuller's earth market in 2017 due to high animal feed production levels coupled with growing demand for mineral oils used for manufacturing paints & coatings and plastics on account of their low smoke properties along with high flexibility.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the cosmetics industry for natural ingredients in skin care and color cosmetics products.
- Rising demand for fuller's earth in oil drilling muds as a result of increasing exploration and production activities in the upstream oil and gas sector.
- Growing use of fuller's earth as a filtration media to remove impurities from water, air, and other fluids.
- Increasing application of fuller's earth in agriculture as a soil amendment to improve crop yields and quality.
