Key Trends in the Market
Kaolin is a type of clay that is also known as China clay and is white in colour. It is distinguished from other industrial clays based on its pure colouring and fine particle size. It is considered an ideal pigment due to its ability to disperse in water. The major component in kaolin is the mineral kaolinite which is a hydrous aluminium silicate produced by the decomposition of minerals like feldspar.
- The surging demand for kaolin from several end-use industries, like paints and coatings, ceramics, paper, and rubber is expected to positively influence the kaolin market growth.
- The growing utilisation of kaolin in the paint and coatings industry is likely to propel the market demand for kaolin over the coming years. This is because it works as an indispensable filler, where it offers scrub resistance, pigment suspension, durability, and high opacity which is further garnering traction in the market growth.
- With the rising construction activities across the globe, the demand for kaolin is expected to increase. This is due to the increasing demand for ceramics, plastics and associated products at construction sites.

Market Share by Applications
The paints and coatings segment is expected to hold robust growth in the kaolin market share across the globe on account of the extensive usage of paints and coatings in the construction industry. It is anticipated that using the product to improve paints' performance in the form of better suspension properties, quick dispersion, corrosion resistance, superior water resistance, and reduced viscosities, is expected to help the market growth over the coming years.
Meanwhile, the rubber segment is likely to fuel the market growth of kaolin on account of the usage of calcined products in the manufacture of heavy-duty insulation rubber gaining significance. Kaolin is an ideal additive to rubber owing to its anisometric 'booklet' element form which enhances the stiffness and strength of the rubber through better stress transfer.
Market Share by Region
Geographically, the Asia Pacific region is expected to augment the kaolin market share on account of the rapid economic development and growing industrialisation. With financial advancements in countries, like China, India, and Japan, there has been a significant spike in the demand for ceramics in household and institutional applications, which is likely to aid the market growth. China is likely to hold the market growth of kaolin due to the growing construction industry in the country.
Meanwhile, Europe is expected to boost the market growth of kaolin over the coming years due to the rising demand for kaolin in the plastic, rubber, glass, and paper industries. With the shift in consumer preferences toward packaged foods and beverages, the demand for kaolin is expected to fuel market growth.
