Market Overview:
The global unexpanded perlite market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, 2018-2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for agricultural and industrial applications, globally. In terms of volume, the global unexpanded perlite market is projected to reach 906 kilo tons by 2030. Based on type, the industrial unexpanded perlite segment is estimated to account for a major share in terms of revenue in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5%, during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to its growing demand from various end-use industries such as chemicals and petrochemicals, construction & building materials, horticulture & agriculture and others across the globe. In terms of application, chemical industry held a dominant position in 2017 with respect to revenue generated.
Product Definition:
Unexpanded Perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass that has a relatively high water content, typically formed by the hydration of obsidian. It occurs as a result of the eruption of volcanoes and has a white, glassy appearance. It is used as an aggregate in lightweight concrete and other construction applications.
Industrial Unexpanded Perlite:
Industrial unexpanded Perlite is a naturally occurring mineral, which is used as an adsorbent for gases and moisture. It has high surface area and porosity, which makes it very effective in absorbing molecules with the help of its large surface area. The material also provides excellent thermal stability to the packaged product thereby increasing its shelf life.
The global demand for industrial unextended Perlite market was valued at USD 14 million in 2015.
Agricultural Unexpanded Perlite:
Agricultural Unexpanded Perlite is a naturally occurring, sterile, white to pale yellowish-white crystalline rock. It has a very distinct odor and taste. Agricultural Unexpanded Perlite is used as an adsorbent in the agricultural industry for various applications such as soil conditioning and water treatment.
Application Insights:
The chemical segment led the global unexpanded perlite market in 2017 and is projected to expand further at a steady CAGR from 2018 to 2030. The key chemicals extracted from expandedPerlites are MgO, CaO, Fe2O3, and others. Chemical industries such as fertilizers and paints use these minerals as raw materials.
Agricultural uses of Perlite include soil improvement for growing crops on a large scale or for farming purposes. It is also used in animal feed supplements owing to its high content of micro & macronutrients required by animals for optimum growth. In addition, it improves soil structure & fertility by increasing the available pore space within the soil which helps plant roots access nutrients & water more easily resulting in improved crop yield over time. These factors are anticipated to drive product demand over the forecast period especially in agricultural applications across various regions globally including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is anticipated to witness significant growth owing to rapid industrialization coupled with increasing per capita income of consumers and rising population. China, India, Japan, South Korea are some of the major countries that are likely to drive regional demand for upexpanded perlite over the next eight years.
North America emerged as a prominent consumer as well as producer of expanded Perlite products in 2017 due to growing chemical processing industries along with expanding oil & gas industry mainly in U.S., Canada, Saudi Arabia and Mexico which resulted into high product consumption especially for filtration applications resulting into high production capacity utilization rates which positively influenced market growth across this region during recent years.
Europe was another prominent consumer due its large automotive manufacturing sector particularly automobile manufacturers such as Volkswagen Group; BMW Group; Mercedes-Benz AG Daimler AG; Ferrari SPA Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Perlite from horticulture and agriculture sector as a soil amendment and growing medium.
- Rising demand for lightweight aggregate in construction industry.
- Growing popularity of green roofs, which use Perlite as a substrate material.
- Increasing application of Perlite in filtration and insulation industries.
