The talc market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2018 to 2023

The global talc market is projected to grow from an estimated USD 2.68 billion in 2018 to USD 3.35 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2018 to 2023. Growth of the market can be attributed to the rising demand for talc-reinforced polypropylene from the automotive industry, as automotive components made from talc-reinforced polypropylene reduce the weight of vehicles. Lawsuits related to the carcinogenic nature of talcum powder is a restraint in the market. The presence of a number of substitutes for talc is also a factor hindering the growth of the talc market.

The ceramics segment is expected to be the fastest-growing end-use industry segment of the talc market during the forecast period

The ceramics end-use industry segment is projected to be the fastest-growing end-use industry of the talc market from 2018 to 2023. Talc is an excellent thermal shock resistant and fluxing agent; it is used in ceramics to improve the mechanical and optical properties of floor and wall tiles. It is also utilized in the production of large format tiles. Moreover, talc is used to improve the properties of catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters in the automotive ceramics cordierites.

Asia Pacific is expected to account for the largest market share of the talc market in 2018

Growing demand for talc from various end-use industries such as automotive, cosmetics & personal care, pulp & paper, and food are responsible for the growth of the talc market in the Asia Pacific region. Moreover, the continuously increasing population of emerging economies such as China and India is also driving the growth of the Asia Pacific talc market.
