Report Code: CH 6100 May, 2020, by marketsandmarkets.com

[161 Pages Report] The global kaolin market size is estimated at USD 3.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 4.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2020 to 2025. The growth of the market is primarily driven by the rising demand for kaolin from end-use industries such as paper, ceramics& sanitaryware, and paints & coatings. Rising demand for paper packaging due to e-commerce activities has fueled the need for paper. High demand for ceramic tiles in the construction sector of highly populated and emerging economies.

Kaolin Market

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

The Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the global kaolin market in 2019, followed by Europe and North America. China is one of the significant consumers of kaolin in the Asia Pacific region. The market in the Asia Pacific is witnessing growth owing to industrial development in the region and it�s improving economic conditions. The availability of kaolin reserves in the region is also one of the major factors responsible for the growth of kaolin.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the kaolin market. Exhaustive secondary research was carried out to collect information on the market, peer markets, and the parent market. The next step was to validate the findings obtained from secondary sources, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

Secondary data includes company information obtained from annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations; white papers; and articles by recognized authors. In the market engineering process (including calculations for market statistics, market breakdown, market size estimations, market forecast, and data triangulation), both top-down and bottom-up approaches were extensively used, along with several data triangulation methods to obtain, verify, and validate the market revenue arrived at. Extensive qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed on the complete market engineering process to list key information/insights throughout the report.

Primary Research

In the primary research process, experts from the supply and demand sides were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information and to validate the data arrived at through secondary research. Primary sources from the supply side included industry experts such as CEOs, vice presidents, marketing directors, technology and innovation directors, and related key executives from various key companies and organizations operating in the kaolin market.
