Know More About “Dolomite Mining Market 2020-2027� Growth Worldwide

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on January 13th, 2022

The global dolomite mining market size is projected to reach USD 2.33 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2020 to 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising government and private spending in development of transport infrastructure in emerging economies of Asia Pacific is the major factor driving the industry.

Dolomitic rock, also known as dolostone, is sized and crushed before its use as a base material construction of road. It is also used in cement manufacturing. Furthermore, it is used in the steel industry as a fluxing material or as a refractory raw material. Besides the aforementioned applications, the product is used in many other applications, including ceramics and glass, paper, and animal feed.

Technological advancements in mining, coupled with increasing logistical efficiency, have played a key role in facilitating increasing profit margins for miners. This is expected to positively impact the market growth over the coming years. The COVID-19 pandemic is predicted to negatively affect the industry growth in short term owing to restricted demand caused by halt in construction activities.

The global dolomite mining industry is composed of few international players as well as a large number of local players catering the regional pockets. For instance, according to the United States Geological Survey, U.S. alone produces dolomite with more than 1,000 companies from approximately more than 3,740 operations with roughly 3,700 quarries and 370 sales and distribution sites.
