MARKET ANALYSIS
Perlite is naturally occurring, lightweight and inert material derived from volcanic rocks. Perlite is hydrophilic rock, composed of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide and other trace elements. Perlite is obtained through mining using ripping and blasting methods. It possesses several characteristics such as thermal & acoustic insulation, elasticity, fire resistance, thermal & mechanical stability, high permeability, high absorption, eco-friendly, and matting agent. Perlite is extensively used in several end-use applications such as agricultural sector, construction, cosmetics, paints, industrial filtration, and cryogenic insulation.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
The rising demand for lightweight building materials from construction industry across the globe has aided the perlite market growth in the past few years. Perlite is significantly utilized in construction industry for production of tiles, roof insulation, refractory bricks, fire insulation products and heat resistant concrete. The distinct properties of perlite namely, optimal thermal resistance, lightweight and fire-resistance, makes it ideal for utilization in applications such as cavity walls, block fillers, coatings, fireproofing, specialty binders, and plasters. Rapid industrialization and urbanization have prompted government of several countries to invest in the infrastructure development and building & construction sector. According to the 2021 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction by United Nations Environment Programme, government of the US passed US$ 1.0 trillion infrastructure bill in 2021, to rehabilitate and invest in the country’s infrastructure along with other initiatives. Increasing population in India and China is another factor fuelling the demand for residential construction, thereby aiding the share of India in global perlite market share. Additionally, increasing residential and commercial construction across emerging countries worldwide is fuelling the demand for perlite. Environmental concerns related to perlite processing pose a challenge to the perlite market. Perlite processing involves several operations such as drying, expansion furnaces, and handling, leading to emission of significant number of pollutants, namely particulate matter, sulfur dioxide and other trace elements. Stringent regulations imposed by several governments on emission of particulate matter and other pollutants can challenge perlite processing. However, several scrubbers and filters can be used for emission control during perlite processing.

IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the global economy and slowed the growth of various industries such as chemicals & materials, and agriculture, among others. The shutdown of multiple manufacturing plants and factories in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa affected the global supply chain. This hampered the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of various goods. Various companies announced possible delays in product deliveries and projected a slump in the sales of their products. In addition, travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America affected business collaborations and partnership opportunities. All these factors hampered the progress of the chemicals & materials industry, along with restraining the growth of various markets related to this industry. Moreover, construction activities also witnessed a decline during this period owing to the shortage of raw materials and limited supply of labor. However, in 2021, businesses regained their production capacities as the governments of various countries eased out the previously imposed restrictions. Moreover, introducing the COVID-19 vaccine further eased the situation leading to a rise in business activities across the globe. The start of operations in the manufacturing units positively impacted the perlite market. Further, manufacturers could overcome the demand and supply gap by operating at total capacity. Moreover, the export and import volumes in the chemicals & materials industry increased due to the relaxation of border and trade restrictions. Therefore, the perlite market has recovered quite well from the aftermath of the pandemic and is expected to grow over the coming years.
