Based on the end-use industry, the market has been divided into several industries, such as paper, ceramics and sanitary ware, fiberglass, paints & coatings, rubber, plastics, and others. The paper industry is predicted to dominate these sectors in the global kaolin market. This dominance is explained by its contribution to improving the appearance of paper, which is characterized by qualities like gloss, smoothness, brightness, and opacity. Kaolin also helps to improve other aspects of paper characteristics such ink absorption, ink pigment retention, less tendency to lint, and surface roughness. Together, these improvements improve the paper’s ability to be printed on. To produce coated paper with the desired properties, kaolin is frequently combined with pigments like calcium carbonate, talc, or titanium dioxide during the papermaking process.
Based on the process, the kaolin market is segmented into groups like surface-modified & unprocessed, air float, calcined, delaminated, and water-washed. The water-washed category is expanding noticeably among these sectors. The rising demand for ceramics, notably from the building and construction sector, might be blamed for this growth. Since water-washed kaolin is primarily used in the production of ceramic products, market demand for it is a key component in market growth. The ability of the water-washed technique to retain water within the clay, typically at levels ranging from 12% to 14%, is a fundamental benefit of using it in the creation of hydrous kaolin.
Based on region, from 2023 to 2028, the kaolin market is projected to grow with the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the Asia-Pacific region. China accounted for the largest market share of the Asia Pacific kaolin market in 2022. This significance can be attributed to China’s strong industrial development and ongoing economic landscape improvement. Since 60% of the world’s population lives in the Asia-Pacific region, kaolin is widely used in a variety of end-use sectors, including those that produce paper, plastics, rubber, ceramics, and sanitary ware.
