Report Description Table of Contents In 2020, the valuation of the Global Metakaolin Market was $767.91 million. It is predicted to reach $1.16 billion by 2028, representing a CAGR of 5.134 percent throughout the period of 2020-2028. Metakaolin is a dehydroxylated form of the clay mineral kaolinite, which is very rich in kaolin minerals and used in porcelain manufacture. However, it is mainly used in ceramics production and as a cement replacement element in concrete. Metakaolin in concrete is most commonly used as a replacement for cement, and the Metakaolin admixture is one of the pertinent cement/concrete applications. The particle size of metakaolin is usually smaller than cement particles but not as fine as silica fume. The worldwide market for concrete is expected to reach $ 972.04 billion by 2030, with a growth rate of 4.93 percent from 2021 to 2030. The parameters of the raw material utilized in the manufacturing process significantly impact the quality and reactivity of metakaolin. Metakaolin can be made from various kaolinite-containing primary and secondary sources, including Kaolin deposits with high purity, kaolinite deposits with lower purity, or tropical soils with lower purity Oil sand tailings paper sludge waste. China was the leading ceramics consumer across the globe in 2020, having an area of about 7,859 million square meters, followed by India (885 million square meters in 2020) and Brazil (829 million square meters in 2020). According to the Mineral Commodity Summaries of the United States Geological Survey, Texas, Missouri, California, and Florida were the top four cement-producing states in 2020, accounting for approximately 45 percent of total cement output in the United States. Covid-19 impact on Metakaolin Market The worldwide metakaolin market had been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the closure of various industrial facilities, increased raw material costs, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and financial instability. Furthermore, the metakaolin market has been hampered by the interruption of the building sector due to the economic downturn induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the demand for metakaolin has been lowered due to a significant drop in the number of residential construction projects during the pandemic. Market Drivers The construction industry's expansion is the key driver for the metakaolin market. The popularity of ceramic tiles and geopolymers is accelerating the rate of expansion rapidly. The method of using metakaolin as cement replacement is continuously gaining popularity across the globe and is driving the market significantly. Market Restraint Uncertainty in the cost of the raw material is hampering the growth of the metakaolin market. Moreover, the industry's manufacturing costs may limit the overall market expansion. Market Opportunity Growing restoration and refurbishment activities in the global residential building segment are driving demand for ceramic goods like tiles and bricks, likely to drive metakaolin demand globally. These elements have also enticed several multinational and global companies to extend their operations across the globe. Factors such as the rising construction industry, fast urbanization, and massive government investments in infrastructure development are predicted to boost the metakaolin market during the forecasted period. Market Segmentation Based on Application: Ceramics Mortars & Concrete Admixtures Refractories Others Based on End-User Infrastructure Works Buildings Construction Artifacts Others By Region North America U.S. Canada Mexico Europe Germany France Italy Switzerland UK Rest of Europe Asia-Pacific Japan China India Rest of Asia-Pacific LAMEA Brazil Israel South Africa Saudi Arabia Rest of LAMEA In 2020, the Mortars &Concrete admixtures segment held the most significant market share, based on applications. Moreover, the ceramics market segment is predicted to grow fastest throughout the forecasted period. Waterproofing, efflorescence control, water repellence, and air entrainment using plasticizers are increasing the workability and accelerating the growth of this segment. In terms of End- User, 'Infrastructure Works' possesses the largest share of the market, followed by Commercial, Industrial and Residential Buildings, Artifacts, etc. In 2020, The Metakaolin market in Asia-Pacific region accounted for the majority of the global metakaolin market share. The metakaolin market in China has the largest market share of around 40%, followed by Europe and South America, with a share of 30% and 25% respectively in the year 2020. According to the China Cement Association (CCA), the country's cement manufacturing capacity in 2020 was 1.83 billion tonnes per year. Also, the metakaolin market in India is playing a vital part in the contribution of the growth of the entire market during the projected period. Moreover, Europe is expected to have the most significant CAGR in the market throughout the anticipated period. According to the Mineral Commodity Summaries of the United States Geological Survey, cement shipments in 2020 were identical to those in 2019 and valued at $12.7 billion. Considering the above statistics, the Metakaolin market will grow at a rapid pace during the forecasted period.
