Market Analysis of White Gold a.k.a Kaolin Market

Paper dominates the market in terms of application. The addition of kaolin coating to paper improves its look by increasing its gloss, smoothness, brightness, opacity, and printability. Furthermore, the substance improves paper printability by increasing ink absorption, ink pigment holdout, lower tinting propensity, and improved roughness. The variables mentioned above all contribute to its huge market share in the paper sector.

Kaolin Market

Growing number of construction activities is expected to drive the market's growth rate

The kaolin marketspace has greatly improved as a result of the complete return of industrial and building operations in various regions. Furthermore, the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is expected to open new doors in the country's construction sector, increasing demand for kaolin and propelling the worldwide kaolin market. Furthermore, increased construction activity in developing countries has been aided by increased migration of rural populations to urban centers and increased investment in infrastructure development. Growing product demand as a result of increased residential remodeling practices in various nations such as the United States, as well as a shift in consumer preference towards replacing wood flooring with ceramic tiles, supports the kaolin market expansion. Furthermore, Europe is predicted to grow at a rapid pace due to increased ceramic production.

Segment Analysis:

The global kaolin market is segmented into three notable segments based on grade, process, and application.

  • Based on grade, the global kaolin market is segmented into calcined, hydrous, delaminated, surface treated, and structured. Calcined segment is expected to dominate the global kaolin market and is expected to reach USD 2,665.75 million by 2030 because calcined kaolin improves friction resistance. Improves mechanical properties, such as resistance to humidity, abrasion, aging, and stability of paint in stock, achieving resistance to floating (vertical pigment separation) during storage.
  • On the basis of process, the global kaolin market is segmented into water-washed, airfloat, calcined, delaminated, and surface-modified & unprocessed. Water-washed segment is expected to dominate the global kaolin market and is expected to reach USD 3,721.51 million by 2030 because water-washed kaolin offers the best raw material for producing high-grade porcelain. After deep processing and modification, the product can become an ideal raw material for papermaking, rubber, paint, coating, and other industrial departments.

The water-washed segment will dominate the process segment of the kaolin market

The water-washed segment will emerge as the dominating segment under process. This is because of the growing number of infrastructural development activities in the market especially in the developing economies. Further, growth and expansion of the materials and packaging industry all around the globe will further bolster the growth of this segment.

  • On the basis of application, the global kaolin market is segmented into paper, ceramics, paint & coatings, fiberglass, plastic, rubber, pharmaceuticals & medical, cosmetics, and others. Paper segment is expected to dominate the global kaolin market and is expected to reach USD 3,416.22 million by 2030 because kaolin improves paper appearance, characterized by gloss, brightness, and smoothness. It also enhances other paper properties such as ink absorption and pigment holdout, low linting tendency, and roughness, which, in turn, improve the printability of paper.

The paper segment will dominate the application segment of the kaolin market

The paper segment will emerge as the dominating segment application segment. This is because of the growing number of academic & research institutes in the market especially in the developing economies. Further, growth and expansion of research development services on a global scale will further bolster the growth of this segment.
