According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Diatomaceous Earth market size was valued at US$ 1197 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1722 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.4% during review period.

Diatomaceous Earth, also known as D.E., is a type of powder made from the sediment of fossilized algae found in bodies of water. The raw diatomite is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. It has a particle size ranging from less than 3 micrometres to more than 1 millimetre, but typically 10 to 200 micrometres. The properties which make Diatomaceous Earth valuable include low density, high porosity, high surface area, abrasiveness, insulating properties, inertness, absorptive capacity, brightness, and high silica content. It is mainly used as filter aids, fillers, absorbents etc.

Global 5 largest manufacturers of Diatomaceous Earth are Imerys, EP Minerals, Showa Chemical, Kuraray (Calgon Carbon Corporation) and Dicalite Minerals Corp. (Dicaperl), which make up over 42%. Among them, Imerys is the leader with about 18% market share.

North America is the largest market, with a share about 35%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific, with the share about 27% and 31%. In terms of product type, Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth occupies the largest share of the total market, about 70%. In terms of product application, Filter Aids occupy the largest share of the total market, over 55%.
