Market Definition
Diatomite is a type of naturally occurring siliceous sedimentary rock, it is a chalk-like, soft, earthy, fine-grained mineral that mainly occurs in white colour. It is a chemically inert substance in most of the liquid and gases and its physical attributes also include excellent porosity and low density. Due to its low thermal conductivity and high fusion point, diatomite is widely used as filler in various end-uses.
Global Diatomite Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growing demand of diatomite in several sectors
The diatomite has several product characteristics, such as high absorptivity, light weight and high porosity due to this diatomite use in several application in numerous sectors such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, chemicals, sealants, adhesives, paints, plastics, and paper. The increasing application of diatomite is expected to drive the growth rate of the diatomite market
- Growing application of diatomite in construction and infrastructure
Diatomite is widely used to increase the quality of cement and concrete in the construction industry while also making heat-insulating bricks with several binders. Diatomite is a sedimentary, porous rock which is formed by the combination of remnant diatoms. The abrasiveness, high surface area, insulating characteristics, high porosity, low density, high silica content, and inertness are some of the major properties which make diatomite a popular choice in the construction industry. The growing construction industry is projected to spur the growth of the global diatomite market during the forecast period worldwide
Furthermore, diatomite is also used for filtering of soft drinks, beer, wine and juices which act as a vital factor escalating the market growth. Moreover, increasing demand for diatomite in medical and pharmaceutical application are some major factors, which is expected to drive the growth of the diatomite market.
Opportunities
- High demand of diatomite in waste water treatment
The growing application scope of diatomite filters in biological filtration as well as portable water treatment will also flourish industry growth during the forecast period. By 2028, The Europe diatomite market will record a high revenue because of the huge efforts by employing varied directives and norms concerning limiting impacts of industrial discharges. For instance, The urban waste water treatment directive was designed to curb severe impacts of urban and industrial wastewater discharges in the Europe. Such a factor will drive the diatomite industry's growth and create immense market opportunities.
