Kaolin,
or China clay in common parlance, is composed of hydrated
aluminosilicate clay mineral known as kaolinite. It is utilized as an
additive or a coating for rubbers, papers, paints, and various other
industrial products. It is a soft powder kind of material, majorly
employed in the production of paper and paints as fillers. Metakaolin
is the dehydroxylated form of kaolinite and is a pozzolanic additive
utilized in mortar and concrete applications.

The
development in the construction sector has augmented the demand for
ceramic tiles and sanitary ware, which, in response propelled the
demand for kaolin in the global industry. Further, the increase in
the usage of concrete and cement for constructing pavements,
foundations, and other structures is expected to stimulate growth of
the metakaolin industry in near future. However, the rising demand
for calcium carbonate as a potential alternative for kaolin is likely
to limit the demand for the metakaolin. On the other hand, the
increasing employment of kaolin in medical applications is expected
to create extensive opportunities for manufacturers.
Global
Kaolin Market to Grow at a 4% CAGR between 2013 and 2019
In
2012, the paper industry held the highest demand for kaolin,
occupying over 40% share of the overall market. The increase in the
demand for paper in developing economies such as India and China has
contributed to the immense growth of this segment. However, the
market for ceramics will report the fastest growth in the future
owing to the increase in demand for white ware and sanitary ware
products in the global industry. The global market for kaolin reached
US$4.06 billion in 2012. It is expected that this industry will grow
at a moderate CAGR of 4.0% between 2013 and 2019, reaching a value of
US$5.34 billion by the end of 2019.
In
the global metakaolin industry, concrete emerged as the largest
application segment. Market experts predict that this segment will
continue to grow at the fastest CAGR over the next couple of years.
Growth of the segment will be attributed by the increase in the
number of the construction projects across the developed as well as
emergent economies. Moreover, metakaolin assists in diminishing the
rate of carbon emissions by concrete, which is likely to propel the
demand for metakaolin significantly in the coming years.

The
massive rise of construction activities across Asia Pacific has
enabled the region to register the highest demand for kaolin and
metakaolin in the year 2012. Rapid industrialization in emerging
economies such as China and India and the increase in the usage of
metakaolin as an alternative of Portland cement are likely to add
significantly to the development of the global kaolin and metakaolin
market in the region. This region is expected to maintain its leading
position as the biggest market for both kaolin and metakaolin,
registering growth at a CAGR of 4.0% and 4.3%, respectively in terms
of volume produced over the next couple of years.
Global
Kaolin and Metakaolin Market to Reach a Value of US$124 million by
2019
In
2012, the global kaolin and metakaolin industry had reached a value
of US$91.8 million. It is anticipated, growing at a moderate CAGR of
4.4% from 2013 to 2019, the market will value at US$124.2 million at
the end of the forecast period. In terms of volume produced, the
global production of kaolin amounted to 34,398.9 kilo tons and the
volume of metakaolin produced was 273.4 kilo tons in 2012, as per
records.
The
global kaolin and metakaolin market is tremendously capital
intensive. As the industry is fragmented in nature, the market
concentration is extremely low. A number of mergers and acquisitions
by the market players have, in turn, consolidated the market share.
BASF SE, Imerys SA, Daleco Resources Corporation, I-Minerals Inc.,
Kaolin AD, KaMin LLC, LB Minerals Ltd., Thiele Kaolin Company,
SCR-Sibelco N.V, and Quarzwerke GmbH are the major enterprises
operating in the global kaolin and metakaolin industry.
