Kaolin refers to the clay, which is a soft white powder composed primarily of the mineral kaolinite with trace amounts of quartz, anatase, muscovite, feldspar, and quart. It is widely used in the ceramic industry, where its white-burning properties and high fusion temperature make it ideal for producing porcelain, refractories, and whiteware.
Sizing and Forecast
The kaolin market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.37 billion in 2023 to $10.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrialization and urbanization, ceramic industry demand, paper industry growth, rise in construction activities, cosmetics and pharmaceutical usage.
The kaolin market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.67 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to consumer preference shifts towards natural products, globalization and trade expansion, rise in agricultural usage, environmentally sustainable alternatives, growing cosmetic applications. Major trends in the forecast period include nanotechnology applications, R&D for innovative applications, bio-ceramics and medical uses, kaolin-based filtration systems, inclusion in polymers and composites.

Major Driver Impacting Market Growth
Rising demand for paper and ceramic products is expected to propel demand for the kaolin market. A ceramic is a product composed of either metal or non-metal compounds after being shaped and hardened by heating to high temperatures. Paper products are items such as paper napkins, towels, and corrugated papers made of sugar cane waste, flax, bamboo, wood, linen rags, cotton, and wheat straw. The use of kaolin coating enhances the appearance of ceramic and paper by varying their gloss, smoothness, brightness, opacity, and printability. For instance, in November 2021, according to an article by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, global paper and paperboard output is expected to expand by 1.5% annually to 2030. Therefore, the rising demand for paper and ceramic products will drive the kaolin market.
