Dolomite powder is widely utilised as a refractory, fettling, and ramming material in steel melting facilities, and as a fluxing substance in blast furnace. The other applications of the product include its use in the glass industry, particularly in the production of sheet-glass. In some regions, it is also used in the production of magnesite.
Rising Steel Demand Propelling the Global Dolomite Market Forward
Steel making represents one of the significant applications of dolomite powder. The growing demand for steel from several end use sectors, including automotive and construction, is, in turn, driving the demand for dolomite. The product is also witnessing an increased demand from cement and concrete manufacturing facilities due to its high surface hardness and density ratio.North America and Asia-Pacific Dolomite Powder Markets to Witness a Healthy Growth
Region-wise, North America and the Asia-Pacific are expected to witness a healthy growth rate over the forecast period. Within North America, the United States is expected to be one of the major steel consuming regions, thus aiding the dolomite powder industry. The growing urbanisation and industrialisation in emerging nations of the Asia-Pacific, particularly India and China, will provide enhanced growth opportunities to the industry. In India, dolomite consumption stood at a value of around 8204.1KMT during 2018-2020.Dolomite Powder: Market Segmentation
Dolomite powder refers to the limestone powder containing CaCO3 and MgCO3. In general, mineral dolomite is an anhydrous carbonate substance made up of calcium magnesium carbonate, that is, CaMg(CO3)2. It has high natural whiteness, and it is known for its ease of dispersion. It finds wide range of applications as it enhances weatherability, reduces shrinkage, fissure development rate, and water absorption.On the basis of application, the market is divided into:
- Agriculture
- Cement
- Glass and Ceramic
- Paint and Coating
- Rubber
- Steel
- Others
The regional markets for the product include:
- North America
- Europe
- Asia-Pacific
- Latin America
- Middle East and Africa
The major factors aiding the growth of the industry include the growing demand for steel, rapid industrialisation and urbanisation, growing infrastructure and construction activities, increasing product demand for agricultural applications, and growing consumer demand for refractive ceramic glazes for domestic purposes.
Owing to technological advancements, the product is witnessing an increased demand in a wide range of applications. This is expected to have a positive effect on the expansion of the global dolomite powder market over the forecast period.
