Halloysite Market Dynamics and Trends by 2028

The halloysite market size is expected to grow from US$ 39.64 million in 2021 to US$ 58.88 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2021 to 2028.

Halloysite is a tubular crystal structure that is traditionally used as a carrier in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals; as a filler in plastics, particularly PVC; and as a suspension agent in paints, inks, and filters. It is also used in high-tech applications such as water purification, hydrogen storage, soil remediation carbon capture, and renewable energy. Halloysite has a high aspect ratio, high whiteness, and nano-sized structure, which is particularly utilized by the ceramic industry. Thus, advantageous features of halloysite make it preferable across various industries, which drives the expansion of the halloysite market size.

The Asia Pacific accounted for the largest portion of the global halloysite market share. The increasing number of construction projects and high usage of ceramics across the region are some of the major factors influencing the halloysite market trends in the Asia pacific. The ceramic industry is expanding across Asia Pacific due to its increasing urbanization. The existence of various end-use industries, such as metal & mining, chemical, and other manufacturing industries, in countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea has increased the demand for ceramic in the region. In Asia Pacific, the automotive sector is also growing in the post-pandemic to achieve new normal, which is further augmenting the consumption of halloysite for paints and coating applications. Thus, booming growth prospects across vertical industries in Asia Pacific is propelling the halloysite market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Halloysite Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global halloysite market owing to the manufacturing units shut down, rising raw material prices, labor shortage, supply chains disruptions, and financial instability. Halloysite is most widely used in the building and construction industry in cement and paints applications. Moreover, it is also used to manufacture ceramic products used in the construction sector. A major decline in the number of residential construction projects due to the financial crisis during the first phase of the global pandemic has negatively affected the halloysite market size.

The introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine has eased the situation, leading to a rise in business activities across the globe. Along with this, the demand for ceramics products and growth prospects in construction activities are driving the halloysite market growth. For instance, the Chinese government has recently introduced the New Infrastructure campaign to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak while also promoting long-term sustainable growth. 5G networks, industrial internet, inter-city transportation and inner-city rail systems, data centers, artificial intelligence, ultra-high voltage, and electric vehicle charging stations will be the emphasis of New Infrastructure initiatives. Such initiatives are significantly contributing to the growth of the construction industry, thereby boosting the demand for halloysite. Thus, the halloysite market is expected to gain significant growth over the coming years amid the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
