The global diatomite market is anticipated to showcase significant growth with CAGR of 5.0% over the forecast period. Furthermore, the market garnered revenue of USD 1,312.4 Mn across the globe over the forecast period.
Diatomite is a naturally occurring siliceous sedimentary rock. It is a soft, earthy, chalk like, fine grained mineral which mostly occurs in white colour. Diatomite is a chemically inert substance in most of the liquid and gases. Its physical attributes also includes very fine porosity and low density due to which it is ideally suited for filtration application. Due to its high fusion point and low thermal conductivity, diatomite is widely used as filler in various end uses.

Diatomite is widely used for applications in filtering and filling. Nearly half of the diatomite consumption around the world goes in filtration application. It acts as an excellent filtering material for several beverage liquid such as soft drinks, fruit juices, beer and wine. It is also predominantly used in the filtration of cooking oil and sugar. It is also used as an absorbent, abrasive material, coating material and in safe handling of hazardous chemicals. Steadily increasing demand from end use industries, especially food & beverage industry along with growing usage for novel applications is the major driving factor for the global diatomite market over the forecast period. However, availability of substitutes such as silica and expanded perlite is expected to act as an impediment for the diatomite market in forthcoming years.
The global diatomite market is a highly competitive marketplace with presence of high number of global and local players. Imerys S.A., Showa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd, EP Minerals LLC, Calgon Carbon Corporation, Diatomite SP CJSC, Dicalite Management Group, Inc., Jilin Yuan Tong Mineral Co., Ltd., Diatomite Direct, Shengzhou Xinglong Products of Diatomite, Qingdao Sanxing Diatomite Co., Ltd.

Production Outlook:
The US is the biggest producer of diatomite across the globe. California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington have one of the largest deposits of freshwater diatomite which is considered of high quality and thus used in filtration in food & beverage industry. US followed by China, Argentina, Denmark and Peru as the top five diatomite producing countries in the world. Global producers of diatomite are focusing on further expanding their production owing to increasing demand from end use segments. It is estimated that world resources available of diatomite are adequate to suffice the global demand in foreseeable future. End price of the commodity depends upon the application and grade of diatomite. The price of diatomite dropped sharply in 2008 and 2009 after which the market conditions gained stability in 2013 and this trend is projected to continue given the end user demand trends remain stable.

The global diatomite market is segmented in the basis of type and application.
On the basis of type, the market is segmented into natural, calcinated and flux calcinated category. Calcinated diatomite dominates the global demand with nearly 50% of the market share. Calcinated diatomite is highly suitable for filtering application, which is by far the largest application for diatomite and hence calcinated diatomite dominates the demand. The calcinated diatomite can be further processed to produce flux calcinated diatomite that offers a wide variety of particle size, therefore suitable for novel applications. The flux calincated segment is projected to show healthy growth with CAGR of 4.4% over the forecast period.
By application, the global diatomite market is categorized into filter aids, fillers, absorbents, construction materials among others. Filter aid segment along with filler segment account for more than two third of the market share in the global diatomite market. These segments are further projected to witness significant growth in coming years owing to increased usage of diatomite in food & beverage, construction and automotive. Increased per capita expenditure has led to positive effect on the food & beverage industry. Consumers are spending more on beverage that has eventually led to escalation in demand for backend materials such as diatomite. Overall, filtration segment is set to continue its dominance with a impressive CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period.
The global diatomite market demand is analysed for key regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the world.
