Global Barite Market: Overview
Barite is basically a mineral which is rich in barium. Barite usually occurs in the depositional atmosphere and it is also found in the zinc-lead veins, hematite ore, and hot spring deposits. Barites are even found in meteorites. Barite is comparatively static and demonstrates a physical property with high density. Barites are extensively used as a weighting means for drilling mud. Barites are found in other applications in rubber, the electrical and electronics, paints radiation shielding, ceramics, glass industry and medical among others.
Global Barite Market: Growth Factors
The increasing automobile sector is anticipated to drive the overall development of the paints and coatings sector which in turn is projected to fuel the development of the global barite market. The global barite market is anticipated to develop due to its rising demand and popularity in other applications such as paper & paints and textiles, among others.
Barites offer a number of advantages such as good constancy, moderate rigidity, strong inertia, high specific gravity and acid & alkali proof. Due to such benefits, barite is broadly utilized in applications which comprise middle and high-grade paint, engineering plastic, rubber, medicine compounding, pottery, cosmetics, and paper-making, among others, thus driving the growth of this market.
Global Barite Market: Segmentation
Based on the type, the global barite market is broadly classified into bedding, residual, cavity filling, and vein. Residual deposit is mostly preferred over cavity filling and vein since cavity filling and mining from a vein is a costly and complicated method. Most important applications comprise plastics, paints, engine compartments, ceramics, automobiles & trucks, and medical appliances. Grade-wise, the global barite market can be categorized into Sp. Gr. 4.3 and above, Sp. Gr. 4.2, Sp. Gr. 4.1, Sp. Gr. 4.0, and up to Sp. Gr. 3.9.
Global Barite Market: Regional Analysis
On the basis of revenue, Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the highest rising market for barite, and it is also estimated to grow at a significant rate in the years to come. The rapidly increasing gas and oil industry in the emerging economies of the region such as China and India are projected to be the most significant driving aspect of market development. North America is also projected to be the highest market for barite. The shale oil uprising in the region is expected to surge the growth in the development and exploration activities, which has led to major capacity addition in the region thus consequently propelling the demand for barite as a weighting agent in the gas and oil sector. Europe is projected to be the second highest market for barite. The dominant consumer and automobile goods sector in the region has augmented the demand and popularity for coating and paint in the region, which is considerably fueling the growth of the global barite market owing to its key use in coating industry and pigments in paint.
