Increasing Demand from Various End-Use Industries Fuels South & Central America Talc Market

Talc is used in various end-use industries such as paints & coatings, plastics, agriculture, and food. In the paint industry, talc use reduces the use of primary pigment in paint production, which reduces manufacturing costs. Talc reinforces the paint film and improves the durability and stain resistance of paint. Owing to its rust-inhibitive and corrosion-resistance properties, the finish lasts longer. Also, talc as an extender increases the viscosity of a paint. The strong growth of the construction, automotive, and industrial sectors propels demand for paints and coatings. In the plastics industry, the use of talc improves the characteristics of plastics such as quality, aspect ratio, particle size distribution, and whiteness. The high demand for plastics in automotive, construction, consumer goods, electrical & electronics, and other industries boosts the need for talc. In the agriculture industry, talc is an effective anticaking agent and dispersing agent for pesticides and fertilizers. Also, in agricultural chemicals, talc has been considered as an ideal inert carrier. Increasing demand for fertilizers due to the growing agricultural production in different regions bolsters the need for talc. Further, food-grade talc is hydrophobic. Therefore, it functions as an anticaking agent by coating other substances and making them water-repellent. It also prevents lump formation. This property makes talc an ideal ingredient to be used in starch, chocolates, chewing gums, baked goods, dried fruits, cheese, seasoning, and table salt. The growing demand for all these products boosts the use of talc in the food industry. Therefore, the rising demand for talc from end-use industries is driving the growth of the South & Central America talc market.

South & Central America Talc Market Overview

The South & Central America talc market in South & Central America is segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South & Central America. South & Central America is one of the largest producers of pulp and paper due to the wide availability of raw materials. Talc is widely used to reduce pitch-related deposits during pulp, paper, and board production and improve machine performance. According to the Indústria Brasileira de Árvores (Ibá) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Brazil held 11.3%, and Chile held 2.8% of global pulp production in 2020. Thus, the large quantity of pulp and paper production in the region is anticipated to drive the demand for talc.

Further, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the total number of vehicles produced in South & Central America grew from ~2.3 million in 2020 to 2.7 million in 2021, registering an increase of 18%. In addition, rising car ownership due to increased spending power and higher living standards is expected to boost the market for automotive refinishes. This growing production of vehicles is boosting the demand for talc in the region.
