Expanded Perlite Market

Market Overview

Expanded perlite is most versatile and efficient mineral that has unique characteristics such as fireproof, insulation, sterile, and light weight. It naturally occurs in siliceous rock, and when exposed to heat to a certain temperature, perlite expands by 4 to 20 times. Expanded perlite is largely applied in construction activities for its light weight and insulation properties. Therefore it is used in concrete, to provide fire resistance, insulation and light weight concrete, ideal for building roof terraces and other applications such as filling void spaces. Expanded perlite properties provide solution to rising environmental concerns and do not have any negative impact on environment while mining of perlite. It can also blend with soil for filtration of storm water runoff and reduced rainwater surge. Increased demand for perlite-based products resulted in growth of processed crude perlite. In 2017, the U.S. encountered highest quantity of processed crude perlite since 2005, and highest domestic consumption of expanded perlite since 2011.

Over the forecast period APAC is expected to continue its large market share for the demand of expanded perlite across various industries in the developing countries and also China being the top producer of crude perlite. China is closely followed by Greece, Turkey, U.S.A. and Iran, contributing the major share in global production of crude perlite.

Trends, Drivers & Challenges to Market Growth

With the advent of sustainability across various sectors, use of expanded perlite is trending in the market. Its application has gained wide attention from agriculture industry, for horticulture as a constituent of soil-less growing mixes where it stipulates aeration and optimum moisture retention for plant growth. Production of cucumber and tomato are some that gained benefit from application of expanded perlite.

The growth in allied industries using expanded perlites such as food and beverage industries, cosmetic industry, and moreover in the environment cleaning, where it can absorb oil and pollution from environment, is thus driving the growth of global expanded perlite market. Advancement in technology and practices to efficiently manufacture and utilize expanded perlite is also stimulating the growth of the market.

Exporting costs can be avoided when selling domestically, but most of these costs are linked with transportation and taxes while exporting perlite. In 2017, U.S.A. crude perlite production was 473,000 metric ton, and the prices increased by 1.6% since 2015. Thus, there is a threat of substitutes that can take over the market, such as diatomite, pumice, expanded clay and shale and slag.
