Global China Clay Market Size, Share, Growth, Analysis, and Forecast Report 2030

The global China clay market was worth approximately USD 4.3 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to approximately USD 5.7 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.1% between 2022 and 2028.

The study examines the global China clay market's drivers, restraints/challenges, and impact on demand over the forecast period. In addition, the paper investigates new opportunities in the Chinese clay market.

Overview of the China Clay Market

Kaolin is a soft white aluminosilicate mineral named after the Chinese hill (Kao-ling) where it was mined for decades. Kaolin is a white, soft powder composed mostly of kaolinite and trace amounts of other minerals such as muscovite, quartz, feldspar, and anatase. It’s used to make china and porcelain, as well as paper, rubber, paint, drying agents, and a variety of other things.

It functions as an excipient as well as an antidiarrheal medication. It combines a mixture and an aluminosilicate mineral. There is kaolinite present.

China Clay Market: Growth Drivers

The paper industry's increasing demand for kaolin will propel the market forward.

In the paper industry, kaolin is increasingly being used as a coating ingredient to provide high whiteness and improve the appearance of the final paper product. According to the USGS Mineral Commodity Report for 2021, the United States exported about 1.9 million tonnes of kaolin, with Mexico, Japan, and China obtaining significant quantities, primarily for paper coating and filling. Japan and China are the world's two largest paper producers.

Kaolin improves paper printability and is used as a paper filler to extend the fiber in addition to gloss, smoothness, and brightness. As a result, the paper industry's demand for China clay is increasing.

Market Segmentation in China Clay

The Global China Clay Market is divided into the process, application, industry vertical, and geography segments.

The global market is divided into water-washed, air-float, calcined, delaminated, and surface-modified & unprocessed segments. During the forecast period, the water-washed sector will grow at the fastest CAGR. Water-washed kaolin is subjected to 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.

Water-washed kaolin retains 14% of the hydration-bound water found in crude kaolin, qualifying it as hydrous kaolin. Calcined kaolins are made by heating water-washed kaolin in a process called calcination. The end product dictates the selection of water-washed feed kaolin for processing. Calcined kaolin is anhydrous, which means that during the calcining process, 14% of the hydration-bound water in crude clay was removed. Calcined kaolin is commonly used in ceramic glazes, but it can also be used to alter the shrinkage and plasticity of slips (engobes) used on wet or leather hardware.

China Clay Market: Regional Analysis
