Dolomite Mining Market By Mineral type (Calcined Dolomite, Sintered Dolomite), By Application (Construction, Agriculture, Animal Feed, Ceramics and Glass, Iron and Steel, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The dolomite mining market was valued at $1.8 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $2.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2022 to 2031.
Dolomite is a type of limestone, a sedimentary rock containing large amounts of the mineral dolomite. Calcium magnesium carbonate, calcite, aragonite, and dolomite make up around 2% of the crust of the earth. Crystals of dolomite are colorless, white, buff, pinkish, or blue. Granular dolomite is found in rocks and is light to dark grey, tan, or white. Dolomite crystals are translucent or almost opaque.. Dolomite is the predominant component of dolostone and dolomite marble. As it includes magnesium metal and magnesia, dolomite is used to create refractory bricks (MgO).
Dolomite is used in glass industry to improve and enhance process parameters and end product qualities in a wide range of application. It is often used as an aggregate of both cement & bitumen and sometimes as a flux also, it improves the viscosity of the glass melt and increases the scratch resistance and chemical resistance of the glass. It is used in agriculture owing to high nutrition value, it helps in maintaining the PH of soil that is why it is also called dolomitic lime or dolomitic limestone. It is used in a variety of application, including steelmaking, rubber, mining, and in agriculture for the production of fertilizers, which drives the Dolomite mining market.
However, fluctuating prices and replacement of dolomite as an igneous rock, which contains olivine mineral, could also hamper the dolomite mining market. Moreover, the harmful influence in the aquatic environment of dolomite products, which is also the most prevalent pollutants for any water environment, is also expected to hinder the market growth. Demand for dolomite has increased in the construction industry and in steel making as well as in glass industry. It provides rigidity, stability, and high viscosity and hence is in more demand.
The Dolomite mining market is segmented on the basis of mineral type, type, application, and region .On the basis of mineral type, the market is categorized into calcined dolomite and sintered dolomite. On the basis of application, the market is categorized into construction, agriculture, animal feed, ceramics & glass, iron & steel, and others.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL DOLOMITE MINING MARKET
Dolomite is a raw material for several industries, including the glass, ceramic, cement, ferroalloys, and fertiliser sectors. The mining industry provides the majority of dolomite; however, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the production lines of mining industry to collapse.
The pandemic affected the global construction sector as well as other industries, like cement and fertilisers, also experienced a decline in growth.
Due to the lockdown imposed in several nations, national and international transportation have been restricted, which has had a substantial influence on the supply chain of different sectors throughout the world, consequently expanding the supply–demand gap.
Consequently, an insufficient supply of raw materials is anticipated to hamper the production rate of dolomite, which would have a negative influence on market expansion.
Consequently, an insufficient supply of raw materials is anticipated to hamper the production rate of dolomite, which would have a negative influence on market expansion.
However, this scenario is anticipated to improve as governments throughout the world have begun to ease restrictions on the resuming of commercial activity.
