Dec 10, 2021/IndustryNewsGlobal/ The unexpected shifts in the global markets because of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus have brought many major and minor tremors to industries of all sizes including the Bentonite Market.

It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak that the Bentonite Market was expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.

Bentonite is a colloidal clay mineral, formed from weathering volcanic ash often in the presence of water. It is a naturally occurring clay, prominently consisting of montmorillonite, having high water absorption capacity, which results it to expand and swell. The swelling action of absorption of bentonite is contingent on its ion exchange capacity. Bentonite market is segmented as by product type into sodium, calcium, sulphur, and others and by application type into foundry sands, cat litter, iron ore pelletizing, refining, drilling muds, civil engineering, and others.

This report studies the market covering a period of 12 years of trend and forecast. The report provides detailed insights into the market dynamics to enable informed business decision making and growth strategy formulation based on the opportunities present in the market.

Segment Analysis

Based on the product type, the market is segmented as sodium bentonite, calcium bentonite, sulphur bentonite, and others. Sodium bentonite is likely to dominate the market owing to higher water absorption than calcium bentonite, it can be used as binders,  liner materials, and as water proofing materials.

Based on the application type, the market is segmented as foundry sands, cat litter, iron ore pelletizing, refining, drilling muds, civil engineering, and others. Foundry sands application dominated the market in 2020 and is expected to remain the major application type during the forecast period.
