Natural Zeolites Market Analysis - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends and Forecast 2018 - 2026

The global natural zeolites market size is projected to be worth USD 7.2 Billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period.

Construction industry all across the world is growing with rapid pace owing to increase in population base and also growing need for better and efficient construction infrastructure. Both the factors drive the need for efficient construction material such as natural zeolites. Therefore increasing natural zeolites applications in constructions sector drives the natural zeolites market during the fourth coming years.

Report coverage

Market Dynamics

The growingneed for lightweight concrete in mining and construction sector is expected to push the use of the application. Lightweight concrete is chosen over ordinary concrete due to numerous reasons for instancebetter-qualityless thermal expansion, fire resistance, and better sound absorption. Other than concrete, the usage of natural zeolites is predominant in dimension stones, lightweight aggregates, and soil stabilizers under construction and mining materials.

Market Insights

The construction sector is observingthe substantialdevelopment not only in developing economies but also in emergednations such as the U.S. In 2017, construction expenditure in U.S. was around 5.0% higher than in 2016. The development of global construction sector has led to the augmented use of cement. Cement manufacturing is a main contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore, natural zeolites are used in construction and mining materials as a partial alternative for cement.
