Talc Market

Increased Consumption of Talc in Engineering Polymers to Create Notable Opportunities in Talc Market

Increasing consumption of talc as an anti-blocking agent in polyethylene, coupled with proliferation of engineering polymers will propel the demand for talc during the forecast period (2019-2029).

Rising demand for glass-fiber replacements and foaming agents in polypropylene and engineering polymers will amplify market growth. Efficacy to restore mechanical properties of recycled plastics will also boost the demand of talc worldwide.

Furthermore, trend of light weight automotive parts will positively influence talc consumption in the near future. In last decade, automotive production has risen by nearly 25 million units and the scenario is projected to continue which will create fruitful environment for talc’s market growth. The aforementioned aspects are projected to expand the market at a CAGR of ~4% throughout the forecast period.

Ceramic Industry Will Continue to Dominate the Demand Pie

Ceramics industry has shown high demand growth for talc in 2018 and is projected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. Talc offers a range of applications within ceramic industry including but not limited to technical ceramics, automotive cordierite ceramics, and fireproof ceramics. Growing consumption of talc in electrical ceramic applications will create remunerative opportunities in the market.

Efficacy to enhance mechanical and optical properties of ceramic material and glazes will continue to be a key driving factor during the forecast period.

Furthermore, paints & coatings have emerged as a prominent industry to create substantial demand for talc and is forecast to account for over one fourth of the global demand by the end of 2029.

Talc’s significant characteristics to limit penetration of water and corrosive agents into paints & coatings will fuel its demand. Stain free and weather resistive talc is set to remain an ideal ingredient in paints and coatings industry.

East Asia to Maintain its Supremacy in Talc Market

East Asia is poised to remain a highly lucrative region and is forecast to account for more than one third of the revenue share by the end of 2029.

In terms of production and consumption, China is the leading country across the globe and the scenario is projected to remain the same during the forecast period. East Asia is followed by South Asia & Oceania owing to a significantly rising manufacturing industry.

Furthermore, Asia Pacific alone produces about half of the global paper and paperboard, and accounts for 50% market share in global plastic production. Thus the APAC region is estimated to remain a prominent market in coming years.

Mature markets like North America and Europe are set to witness sluggish growth during the assessment period. Both regions will experience a similar trend and will grow in line with their regional GDP growth rates.
