根據 Stratistics MRC 的資料,2022年全球高嶺土市場規模為 49 億美元,預計預測期內年複合成長率為 6.8%,到2028年將達到 77 億美元。
高嶺土是一種純色顏料。這種顏料無論是天然存在還是製造過程中產生的,都非常強大。它用於塗覆我們日常使用的紙張表面。這種塗層使紙張具有明亮、光澤和絲滑的表面效果。塗層有助於墨水附著在紙張表面,使墨水顏料的光澤更加明亮。最大限度地減少絨毛黏附在紙張表面的可能性,並增加印刷機直接接觸區域的粗糙度。
根據美國人口普查局的資料,2023年 6月的建築總支出(住宅和住宅)與去年同月相比增加了 3.5%。單戶住宅支出成長 2.1%,多用戶住宅支出成長 1.5%。
造紙工業的成長
造紙工業的成長對高嶺土市場有重大影響。高嶺土是造紙的關鍵成分,由於其具有提高紙張品質的特性,其需求量不斷增加。隨著造紙工業在全球擴張,特別是在新興經濟體,對高嶺土作為填充材和塗層材料的需求迅速增加。該成長軌跡是由各行業紙產品消費量增加所推動的,凸顯了高嶺土在支持造紙產業發展的關鍵作用。
數位化和網際網路的發展
數位化和網路的發展對市場產生了負面影響,紙張和產品的需求大幅下降,這讓大多數大型製造商感到不安。有人指控採礦會導致與使用高嶺土相關的各種環境和健康風險,這在人們心目中造成了負面印象,並導致消費者轉向其他替代品。
建設產業需求增加
水泥產業的發展可能會創造令人興奮的成長機會。隨著水泥用於道路、高速公路、機場和橋樑等基礎建設,國家建築業的投資也將增加,增加對水泥的需求。由於汽車、建築和家居裝修行業需求不斷成長,玻璃產量增加預計將對市場產生積極影響。
替代品的可用性
具有成本效益的替代品的可用性也是限制市場收益成長的因素之一。然而,這導致了替代品的開發和引進。它是白色的並且具有窄的粒徑分佈。 Covid-19有多種尺寸和結晶型態,可改善紙張印刷和光學性能,提高造紙機生產率,並透過替代螢光增白劑降低造紙成本。
COVID-19 的影響
COVID-19的爆發擾亂了高嶺土市場的生產和供應,減緩了全球產業的擴張。許多高嶺石公司已採取方法來避免停機損失,隨著疫情的影響持續存在,這種損失越來越令人擔憂。由於需求減少和供應鏈中斷,疫情進一步導致全球經濟低迷。這增加了原料和成品的價格。然而,病毒的傳播導致包裝商品的消費增加,增加了產品需求。

水洗細分市場預計在預測期內將達到最高水準,因為其收益預計將在預測期內快速成長。水洗高嶺土經過製漿、碾碎、研磨、篩分、分選、離心、化學處理以及有時濃縮、乾燥和磁力處理等嚴格過程,以達到粒度、純度、殘留物和亮度後製造。它廣泛用於陶瓷釉藥,也可用於控制濕法或皮革五金製品中使用的泥漿的收縮和可塑性。
造紙業預計在預測期內年複合成長率最高
造紙業在預測期內將出現最高成長,因為許多其他紙張性能可以得到改善,例如油墨吸收性、油墨顏料保留性、低襯砌性和粗糙度,提高紙張的印刷適性。此外,電子商務活動的活性化(尤其是在新興國家)以及包裝和印刷媒體用紙需求的增加預計將推動該市場的發展。對紙製品的需求不斷成長將推動塗層紙應用市場的發展。
由於亞太地區國家擁有大量高嶺土蘊藏量,預計在預測期內該地區將佔據最大的市場佔有率。此外,陶瓷叢集的崛起日益增加產品消費。此外,各國的都市化和建設計劃預計將增加家用產品中陶瓷產品的採用。此外,塗料系統中的不溶性、醫療用途和高耐化學腐蝕性等特性預計將在未來幾年推動該地區高嶺土市場的發展。
由於塑膠、橡膠、紙張和玻璃等最終用途產業對高嶺土的需求不斷增加,預計歐洲在預測期內的年複合成長率最高。隨著消費者偏好轉向包裝食品和食品和飲料,對高品質食品包裝材料的需求不斷增加。該設備和工具廣泛用於室內種植和家庭高嶺土。這種成長是由於橡膠、紙張、塑膠和玻璃產業對這種材料的需求不斷增加。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Kaolin Market is accounted for $4.9 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $7.7 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Kaolin is a pure colour pigment. The pigment is tremendously powerful, whether it occurs naturally or as a result of a manufacturing process. It is utilized to put a coating on the surface of the papers that we use on a daily basis. This coating gives the paper a bright, glossy, and silky finish. The coating promotes ink adhesion to the paper's surface, allowing the pigment in the ink to shine out even more. It minimizes the potential for lint to build on the paper's surface and raises the roughness where the printing machine comes into direct contact with the paper.
According to U.S. Census Bureau, total construction spending (residential and non-residential) grew by 3.5% in June 2023 on a y-o-y basis. The spending on single-family housing increased by 2.1% and multi-family housing by 1.5%.
Growth in paper industry
The paper industry's growth is significantly impacting the kaolin market. Kaolin, a key component in paper production, is witnessing increased demand due to its properties enhancing paper quality. As the paper industry expands globally, particularly in emerging economies, the demand for kaolin as filler and coating material is escalating. This growth trajectory is driven by the rising consumption of paper products across various sectors, underscoring kaolin's pivotal role in supporting the paper industry's advancement.
Digitization and the developments of the internet
The digitization and the developments of the internet which have negatively impacted the market since the demand for paper and products have reduced considerably which has created an upset for the most of the large scale manufacturers. There have been claims that mining of the results in a variety of environmental and health risk which have created a negative impression in the minds of people relating to the use of kaolin and have led to the shift of consumers to other substitutes.
Increasing demand in construction industry
The development of the cement industry will create stimulating growth opportunities. Increasing investment in building and construction sector of the country also will augment the demand of cement since it is used in the construction of roads, highways, airports, bridges and other infrastructure. Escalating production of glass owing to the expanding demand from automotive, construction, and renovation industries will have a positive impact on the market.
Accessibility of substitutes
Availability of cost effective substitutes is another factor expected to restrain market revenue growth. However, this has led to the development and introduction of alternatives. It has a bright white colour with a narrow particle size distribution. It is available in various sizes and crystal morphologies that can be tailored to improve printing and optical properties of paper, increase productivity of paper machines, and reduce papermaking costs by replacing optical brightening agents.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak disrupted kaolin market manufacture and supply, delaying the worldwide industry's expansion. Many kaolinite enterprises are employing ways to avoid downtime losses, which are increasingly concerning as the pandemic's effects endure. The pandemic further caused a decline in the global economy due to the falling demand and disrupted the supply chains. This increased the charges of raw materials and finished products. However, the spread of the virus led to increased packaged goods consumption, augmenting the product demand.
The water-washed segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The water-washed segment is is expected to be the largest during the forecast period, due to its revenue is expected to register a rapid growth rate over the forecast period. Water-washed kaolin is produced through a rigorous process of slurring, crushing, grinding, sifting, sorting, centrifuging, chemically and possibly concentrating, drying, and magnetically treating to achieve particle size, purity, residue, and brightness. This is used extensively in ceramic glazes and can also be used to adjust shrinkage and plasticity of slips used on wet or leather-hard ware.
The paper segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The paper segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to virtues of enhancing numerous other paper properties like ink absorption and holdout ink pigment, low lining propensity, and roughness, which, in turn, improve the printability of paper, are some of the major factors propelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the mounting e commerce activities, particularly in emerging countries, and escalating demand for paper in packaging and print media is projected to boost the market. Rising demand for paper products boost the market owing to its application for coating paper.
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to presence of a large number of kaolin reserves in countries in the region. In addition, rise of ceramic clusters has increased product consumption. Moreover, urbanization and construction projects in countries are expected to increase adoption of ceramic-based products for household items. Also, characteristics like insolubility in the paint system, medical purposes and high resistance to chemical attack, are expected to drive the market for kaolin through the years to come in the region.
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to rising demand for kaolin from end-use industries like plastic, rubber, paper, and glass. Consumer preferences have shifted toward packaged foods & beverages, which has resulted in a high demand for high-quality food packaging materials. The equipment and tools are used significantly in indoor farming and kaolin at home. This growth can be accredited to the rising demand for this material in the rubber, paper, plastic, and glass industries.
