The U.S. Kaolin market size was worth USD 596.3 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period.


Kaolin, also known as china clay, is significantly used in manufacturing rubber, plastics, paper, and fiberglass. This product used as raw material also tracks down applications in the ceramic business, where it is utilized for assembling porcelain and refractory. China clay is highly used in ceramic production because it does not contain iron or alkalis. Besides, involving this material as a filler in elastic assembling works on the mechanical strength and scraped spot opposition of elastic. The aforementioned factors together are augmenting the U.S. kaolin market share.


For instance, China-Clay has the particular town of Sandersville, known as the "Kaolin capital of the world." There are product deposits in Georgia and other southeastern states, and there are pure, white, or difficult to mine as those in Washington County. As the U.S. geographical review indicates, Georgia consistently mines USD 1 billion worth of clay, higher than some other states in the U.S.


The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the kaolin market. The industry has witnessed a decline in demand due to the lockdowns and restrictions on manufacturing activities. The increasing product demand in the healthcare sector for producing face masks and other medical equipment has also boosted the market during these challenging times.


LATEST TRENDS


Several End-use Industries have a Significant Demand for Kaolin, Providing Growth Opportunities 


The U.S. kaolin market growth is influenced by the rising demand for the product from various end-use industries, including paper, rubber, paints and coatings, and ceramics. This essential filler is utilized in the paint and coatings industry because it offers durability, high opacity, pigment suspension, and scrub resistance. These properties will surge product demand for assembling ceramic-based items such as cups, plates, and other family utensils to dominate the U.S. market growth.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Demand from Paper Industry to Fuel the Market Growth


The rising consumption of fillers from the paper business is a driving element for the china-clay market. This material offers expanded fiber, better paper mistiness, printability, and shine. The growth of the product in paper business under developing countries is expected to drive the market revenue. The rising demand for paper in printing and packaging applications is the cause of this expansion. Accordingly, mounting interest from the paper and clay businesses will develop the china clay market.
