Global Barite Market Size worth over $4.1 billion by 2024

  • Published Date: August 12, 2019

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Barite Market size is expected to surpass USD 4.1 billion by 2024 owing to the growing product demand in paints & coatings application in Asia Pacific will govern the product’s significant growth in the coming years.

The paints & coatings market in Asia Pacific is projected to grow owing to continuous growth in automobile and construction industry. The main factors behind this unceasing trend are the growing industrialization in the region, coupled with increasing per capita income, especially in the rapidly industrializing Asia Pacific nations such as India and China. Additionally, barite’s use as a filler in the rubber industry is projected to exhibit growth in the coming years. The product is used as a pigment in the paints & coating industry and its growth is directly proportional to the performance of the application sector over the forecast period.
 

The scarcityof barite in nature along with cost inccurred in its extraction, processing, and logistics is considerably higher than its substitutes such as celestite, ilmenite, etc. The increasing usage of these substitutes over the product is expected to hamper the barite market growth over the forecast period.
 

Barite market is segmented on the basis of the grades, which includes up to special grade 3.9, grade 4.0, grade 4.1, grade 4.2, grade 4.3; and above grade 4.0. Barite grades differ over its percentage content along with other materials and its specific gravity. Grade up to 3.9 are likely to increase their share in the market due to its availability and low cost. The trend is projected to govern the grade’s consistent pace over the forthcoming period. On the other hand, grade 4.1 is predicted to grow at a rate of 7% by 2024. Owing to these developments, product demand is expected to grow over the forecast period.
