The industrial clay market size is forecast to increase by USD 2.16 billion at a CAGR of 6.93% between 2023 and 2028.
The industrial clay industry research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD billion" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
Kaolin, a fine white clay derived from kaolinite minerals, is a valuable resource for various industries, including rubber, paper, paint, and ceramics. Kaolin's unique properties, such as its small particle size, brightness, and non-abrasiveness, make it an essential raw material for these applications. The paper industry uses calcined kaolin as a filler to enhance paper's brightness, smoothness, and printability. In paints and coatings, it improves the gloss and opacity of the final products. Water-washed kaolin is commonly employed In the ceramics industry due to its high plasticity and firing qualities, particularly in porcelain and sanitaryware manufacturing. Different types of kaolin include calcined, water-washed, and surface-modified varieties.
