Top Emerging Trends Of Zeolite Market Progress Forecast 2030 |Grand View Research, Inc.Posted by Mrudula Karmarkar on July 8th, 2022 The global zeolite market size is expected to reach USD 21.7 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2030. The market is expected to be driven by rising capacity expansions in petrochemicals production coupled with investments in water treatment projects and detergent manufacturing. Zeolites are three-dimensional hydrated aluminosilicate minerals with a tetrahedra framework each consisting of four oxygen atoms surrounded by a silicon or aluminum cation. Based on product, the market is segmented into natural and synthetic. The former is hydrothermal and mostly belongs to volcanic origin. The latter is synthesized in laboratories in different types such as Zeolite A, Type X, Type Y, and others. In terms of revenue, synthetic zeolite dominates the market owing to its increasing demand from chemicals and detergent applications coupled with its high price. In terms of volume, natural zeolite dominates the market. However, the segment growth is anticipated to be low owing to numerous substitutes in the market. Synthetic zeolites are extensively used as detergent builders to extract water hardness ions and soften the water medium for cleaning and laundry purpose. Rising hygiene concerns, especially after the COVID-19 outbreak, have propelled the production of detergents, and thus, positively influenced the zeolite demand. For instance, the laundry and care business of Henkel observed a growth of over 5% in sales in 2020 owing to a rise in the demand for cleaning products globally. Based on region, Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share of the global market in 2021. The presence of countries like China and India and rapid investments in manufacturing activities in these countries are propelling the market growth. The countries are facing high production of animal feed, chemicals, and detergents, which is benefitting zeolite demand in the region. For instance, the Zhejiang Petrochemical Daishan Xylene Plant 2 is an upcoming petrochemical project in China with a capacity of 4.8 million tons per annum. In addition, around 500 other projects are anticipated to become operational in the petrochemical industry in China between 2021 and 2030. The zeolite market is highly competitive in nature. New mediums of low-cost production are projected to open new avenues for market development over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2020, the University of Queensland filed a patent for a newly developed mineral processing technology, which is likely to reduce the cost of zeolite production significantly.

The market is highly competitive with the presence of numerous players worldwide. Natural zeolite mining companies face intense competition not only from other zeolite mining companies but from companies engaged in substitutes production, for example, perlite, diatomite, and fuller’s earth. Key players are striving toward extending their market reach and increasing their customer base in the growing market. Aggressive R&D is one of the key strategies adopted by many key players. For instance, in April 2020, Metalsearch Limited, an Australian mineral and compound producer, has secured a license from UniQuest, the technology transfer company of the University of Queensland, for synthesizing zeolite. The technology will help the company to reduce the time and cost of manufacturing. Some of the prominent players in the zeolite market include:
