Increasing demand for crude kaolin in cement, refractories, and agrochemical industries has been identified as a chief growth driver of the India kaolin market. As per a new study by Future Market Insights (FMI), the kaolin market in India is anticipated to register 3.5% CAGR between 2021 and 2031.
The report also identifies crude kaolin as the top-selling product, accounting for a little over 36% of the sales in the market in 2021. Despite its application across diverse industries, demand for kaolin significantly dropped amid COVID-19 as industries remained shuttered following lockdown guidelines implemented in India.
Nonetheless, gradual recovery of operations across industries will create growth opportunities in the coming years. The cement industry is forecast to account for the maximum demand for kaolin. Expansion of construction activities in India, in public and private sectors alike, will therefore spur opportunities for kaolin manufacturing and sales.
Besides demand in the cement industry, the kaolin market will register increasing application in paints and coatings, glass and paper, ceramics and sanitary, and pesticides and refractory sectors. Thanks to the inadequate threat of substitutes, kaolin consumption in India is anticipated to remain steady over the forecast period.
Kaolin is naturally formed mineral clay which is consumed in both crude form and processed form. These minerals are formed by the chemical weathering of minerals of Aluminum such as, feldspar and is extracted from kaolinite mineral.
Kaolin is used as a raw material, filler material, binding material, strengthening material and as other materials in various end use industries. The common product types of kaolin available in India are crude kaolin, calcined, hydrous, surface modified, delaminated, and levigated kaolin.
