Wollastonite Market - Global Industry Analysis

Global Wollastonite Market: Overview

Wollastonite is a calcium metasilicate composed of manganese, magnesium, and iron filling in for calcium. However, these are available in very few quantities. Wollastonite is widely available in two forms, namely, synthetic and natural. The natural wollastonite finds the trace measures of varied metal particles, for example, sodium, potassium, manganese, iron, aluminum, and others. Also, it is very less accessible in an adulterated form. It also comprises various metals like garnet, calcite, and dropsied as polluting influences that are eliminated during preparation. It finds a large number of applications in friction products, metal making, ceramics, and paint fillers. The key characteristic of wollastonite powder includes enhanced durability, ability to lower crazing, and good strength. Its composition includes 8.3% calcium oxide and 51.7% silicon dioxide.

Global Wollastonite Market: Growth Factors

The global wollastonite market is likely to grow indefinitely during the forecast period due to the fast-growing construction sector globally. Wollastonite is widely used in tiles and flooring applications in infrastructural activities worldwide. Besides this, wollastonite finds a huge number of applications in exterior and interior automotive applications. The increasing investments in growing economies in the automotive sector will further complement the growth trajectory. Wollastonite initially occurs as a prismatic crystal with distinct characteristics that segment mass into acicular fragments. However, owing to its advanced processing abilities, it has emerged as one of the most versatile functional fillers in the global marketplace. Also, wollastonite offers an optimum performance by accurately matching the ideal coupling agent on the right concentration level to the polymer system. Such surface-modified wollastonite is very much adopted globally due to its advantages like improved dispersion of resin, advanced processing, and enhanced physical properties. The high consumption and production of ceramic-based products globally are likely to further push the growth of the global wollastonite market significantly. Wollastonite is also extracted through crystallization from molten rock, which comprises high carbon content. However, wollastonite is inert in nature, but it will dissolve in concentrated HCL. Additionally, it does not react with other elements both during and after the production process. Owing to the whiteness and brightness of pure wollastonite, these are widely used in white pigment products. Commercial wollastonite contains around 85 to 90% value that of common brightness standards like barium sulfate and magnesium oxides. The advent of Covid-19, the global pandemic, has significantly lowered the growth trajectory of the global wollastonite market, but it is expected to grow with an average CAGR during the forecast period due to the several initiatives undertaken by the leading players along with the ease in Covid regulations globally.
