Global Natural Zeolites Market by Application (Construction Material, Soil Remediation, Animal Feed) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

In 2017, the global market for natural zeolites was valued at USD 6.47 million. The market is expected to grow at a rate of 2.7% between 2017 and 2025. Natural zeolites are most commonly used in the construction industry. The product is expected to see rapid growth in demand from soil amendment and water purification.

It is expected that the increasing demand for lightweight concrete within the construction industry will drive its use. Lightweight concrete is more popular than ordinary concrete for many reasons, including better fire resistance, lower thermal expansion and better sound absorption. Concrete is not the only use for natural zeolites. They are also used in dimension stones and lightweight aggregates as well as soil stabilizers.

Due to increasing environmental concerns, water treatment and soil amendment are becoming more important around the world. Groundwater contamination by soluble nitrogen-based fertilers is a serious environmental problem. Natural zeolites reduce the nitrification process of ammonium into nitrate which leads to reduced nitrate leaching. Natural zeolites also enrich soil and promote the growth of healthy plants.

Due to their toxic nature, heavy metals and metalloids can pose a serious threat to the environment. The ion-exchange ability of natural zeolites allows for the absorption and storage of heavy metals within their honeycomb structure. Natural zeolites can also be used in water purification or separation.

The product is still in demand across many industries. However, there are likely to be several alternatives that will limit its growth during the forecast period. Concrete, soil amendment, water purification, pet litter and concrete applications are some of the most important uses for the product.

Application Insights

In terms of revenue, construction materials accounted for 54.3% of the largest segment. In emerging countries, the growth in the construction industry is driving increased demand for construction materials. According to Le Quang Hung (Deputy Minister of Construction of Vietnam), the country's building industry grew at 8.7% in 2017, due to increased tourism, urbanization and renovation of older buildings. The construction industry is also benefiting from favorable government policies.

2017 was the second most popular year for animal feed. North America is a major producer of animal feed. The U.S. and Mexico are the two top countries producing feed. As they promote proper growth and weight development, natural zeolites are widely used as additives in animal feed. They also help prevent many diseases and improve the absorption of nutrients in feed.

Over the years, it has gained popularity in soil remediation and water treatment applications. When added to soil, it helps develop healthy plants. It is also effective in eliminating unwanted elements from soil and water. It is very effective at controlling odors and can be used in deodorizers, fresheners, and pet litter.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific held 64.1% of the global natural Zeolites market in 2017, accounting for 64.1% of total market volume. India, one of the emerging economies, is seeing a significant increase in demand for soil amendments. Natural zeolite producers are expanding their reach in India, given the immense importance of India's agriculture industry.

The Central and South American markets are expected to grow at a 2.6% CAGR over the forecast period in terms of revenue. Due to increasing soil and water pollution and increased animal feed production, the demand for the product in Central and South America is high. As of 2016, the region had more than 4,287 feed mills. Due to increasing urbanization, the region also needs water treatment projects.

The United States is the largest consumer of natural Zeolites in North America. Due to the high production of animal feed, the U.S. market's main application segment is animal feed. The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) estimates that there were approximately 6,232 mills in the United States, which includes animal feed mills as well as pet food manufacturing facilities. In 2016, the US consumed 236.3 million tons of animal feed.

Market Share Insights & Key Companies

Global markets are highly competitive and fragmented. Their large-scale production has been possible due to the widespread availability of these minerals around the globe. Zeocem a.s. and Zeotech Corporation are the dominant players in this market.

Major market players have adopted capacity expansion as a key strategy. In June 2016, for example, the United States Antimony Corporation announced that it had added a production line at its Bear River Zeolite facility. SDIC Shengshi, Xiao Ben and SDIC Shengshi formed a joint venture in October 2018. This is expected to increase both companies' global reach and market share.
