Diatomite Market
Growth Factors of Diatomite Market
The diatomite market size was valued at USD 1.06 billion in 2022, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 1.12 billion in 2023 to USD 1.68 billion in 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The diatomite market growth faced some challenges due to COVID-19 affecting the supply chain and reducing the filtration and manufacturing speed. Some borders were closed and some ports were shut down, impacting the delivery of the raw and finished goods. Nonetheless, as the world economy slowly recovers, consumers will probably increase again due to construction and manufacturing activities.
Diatomite is used in construction due to its high porosity and low-density and due to such properties. It is used as the cement and concrete activator which contributes to the increase of durability and strength of concrete besides having low emission. It is also used in the production of lightweight concrete and also in filler in plasters and stuccos. As a versatile product, its use can address different segments in the diatomite market share.
Additionally, diatomite's unique filtration properties make it essential in water treatment, driving demand for clean drinking water. It is also useful in metallurgy to lower the melting point and to enhance rinsing and smoothening when using the lost foam casting method. Its versatility extends to agriculture and construction, further supporting market growth across industries.
