Halloysite Market Outlook 2030
Halloysite is an aluminosilicate clay mineral composed of aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen, with empirical formula Al2Si2O5(OH)4. It naturally occurs as nanotubes and is typically formed due to hydrothermal alteration of alumino-silicate minerals. It is a biocompatible, cost-effective and readily available nanomaterial as compared to carbon nanotubes. Halloysite is used in the fabrication of electronic devices and other high-tech ceramic composite applications, owing to its non-clump characteristic.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- Complete hazard appraisal and industry proposals were made for Halloysite in an exceptional period.
- Through all this and in an effort to maintain the availability of goods across the economy, the chemical (and other manufacturing industries) dedicated much attention to understanding the pandemic’s impact on stocks (e.g., managing volumes or production location to match shifting demand)
Top Impacting Factors
The market exhibits a high degree of integration from raw material supply to the processing and distribution of the product. All major manufacturers in the industry are involved in raw material extraction, which is directed wholly to captive consumption. Key industry players are also involved in collaborations with large clay manufacturing and distributing companies on a profit-sharing basis. Production of raw material varies annually with manufacturers changing trends to meet the annual projected demand for halloysite material. Extensive integration of manufacturers to the raw material supply leads to its abundance, which in turn benefits the overall market growth. Besides this, rising raw material extraction due to spiraling product demand is anticipated to work in favor of the market. Booming construction industry in Asia-Pacific is leading to an increase in the demand for ceramic products, which in turn, is expected to boost the growth of the market.
Market Trends
- The substance is documented as safe to use in serious and niche applications by agencies such as the European Commission. The presence of a restricted regulatory framework for use of products across numerous end-use industries is assessed to propel the demand for halloysite during the forecast period.
- The market displays a substantial hazard of external substitution by kaolin and other clays, mainly in the ceramics industry. Moreover, the high consumption of the product by the ceramic industry attached with limited availability surges the substitution threat. Nevertheless, the product is projected to substitute a number of nanomaterial presently used in applications such as medical and cosmetics.
- Growing investments in the manufacture of advanced halloysite products for use in medical, cosmetic, and filtration applications are expected to boom growth prospects and expand production levels. Moreover, increasing monetary investments in R&D activities for the integration of nanomaterial in medical applications are poised to kindle market growth.
- Legal principles overriding the industry approve the use of halloysite for use in serious & semi-critical applications such as medical and cosmetics.
- Buyers in the market are subtle to product quality and lay minimal emphasis on price. As a result, the product price is found to vary broadly in harmony with the application for which it is supposed to be used.
- The market is subject to guidelines relating to the mining and processing of the product. Increasing concerns regarding the impact of unmanageable mining practices for the extraction of halloysite and other clays are expected to result in a restricted production, which is further expected to restrict the growth of the market during the forecast period.
- Fluctuations in raw material cost, may hamper the growth of the global halloysite market during the forecast period to a certain extent.
