Kaolin refers to a soft powder which is used as a coating or sometimes as additive in industrial products like rubbers, ceramics, fiberglass, refractories, paints and papers. However, ceramic applications make use of unprocessed kaolin. Papers and paints use kaolin as filler. White ware items like sanitary ware and tiles also make use of kaolin. Metakaolin is derived from the clay mineral form of kaolin. This variant of kaolin is dehydroxylated under controlled temperature which gives rise to an amorphous aluminosilicate which is known as metakaolin. This is then extensively applied in shotcrete, concrete and mortar.
The kaolin and metakaolin market is driven by rising demand for ceramics which is a result of rapid construction activities taking place worldwide. The demand for kaolin and metakaolin is fuelled by rise in construction activities and rising demand for concrete and cement respectively.
According to this report, kaolin these days is being replaced by calcium carbonate and this in turn is likely to bring down the demand in the global kaolin and metakaolin market. Another factor that will lead to lower demand for kaolin is the rising prices of the same.
Kaolin is applied extensively in the paper industry and in 2012 it accounted for almost 40% of the market share mainly because of rising demand for paper in developing economies like China and India. The demand for paper in these countries is driven by the governments’ initiatives in increasing the literacy rates. The demand for paper in Europe and North America is declining due to greater preference being given to electronic media and the internet.
