The water washed segment is projected to be the largest segment during the forecast period

Based on the process, the water-washed segment accounted for the largest share in 2019. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the low impurity levels and improved brightness kaolin obtained through this process. The water-washed process is widely used in the production of hydrous kaolin as the process helps to retain water in the clay for about 12%-14%. Water-washed is the most widely used method to process crude kaolin into finished kaolin products. An increase in demand for ceramics from the building & construction industry is among the most significant factors projected to drive the water-washed kaolin market, as this kaolin is majorly used in the manufacture of ceramic products.

Paper end-use industry is projected to be the largest end use of the kaolin market during the forecast period

Kaolin improves paper appearance, which is characterized by gloss, smoothness, brightness, and opacity. Kaolin also improves various other properties of paper such as ink absorption and ink pigment holdout, low linting tendency, and roughness, which, in turn, enhance the printability of paper. Paper is widely being used in paper packaging and print media. The rising e-commerce activities, particularly in emerging countries, fueled the demand for paper packaging. Therefore, the growth of the paper industry is driven by the increasing demand for paper in packaging and print media

Kaolin Market

Asia Pacific projected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period
