Key Players in the Bentonite Market: Kemira OYJ, Mineral Technologies Inc. Clariant AG, and Alfa Aesar

Increasing oil drilling and construction activities across the world are expected to create increasing demand for the bentonite market between 2021 and 2031, finds Future Market Insights (FMI) in a new study. According to the report, the market is expected to reach US$ 2.37 billion by the end of 2031.

Through the course of the forecast period, it is expected to record solid growth, especially since developing economies are expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities. Bentonite is a highly colloidal clay mineral containing a variety of accessory minerals such as quartz, feldspar, calcite, and gypsum.

Properties such as water absorption, swelling, viscosity, hydration, and thixotropy make bentonite a valuable material across various industries. The chemical and mechanical properties of bentonite materials can be altered through various additions and combinations of raw materials, which are based on the application or use of the finished product.

Bentonite is known for its versatile nature and application in numerous industries such as construction, oil & gas, food, pharmaceutical, foundry, and among others. Of these, the oil industry is expected to remain dominant, accounting for nearly one-fourth of bentonite sold globally.

Key Takeaways

  • Driven by applications across diverse industries, the bentonite market will exhibit a CAGR of 6.2% between 2021 and 2031
  • With oil and drilling activities pacing up, the U.S. is expected to account for 88% of bentonite sales in North America
  • Bentonite production in France and Poland will pick up at an impressive pace after post lackluster growth registered in 2020
  • Germany and Russia are expected to emerge as leading markets for bentonite in Europe
  • China is expected to spearhead the growth of the bentonite market in East Asia

“Role of bentonites in oil drilling applications continues to propel the overall market growth. However, due to stringent regulation imposed by governments on the use of some of the intermediate chemicals, which are used collectively with bentonite in drilling applications, the market might witness some hindrances to growth. Nonetheless, key manufacturers are focusing on enhancing the production rate which will aid the overall expansion of the market in the coming years.” says FMI analyst.
