Talc as Coating and Anti-Clogging Agent: Spurring Market’s Growth, States FactMR.

As per details revealed by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, estimates the global talc market will be at US$ 1.7 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast years of 2024-2034.

Talc is obtained from talc carbonate ore, which is commonly found in metamorphic ultramafic rocks. This talc carbonate ore is processed to remove related minerals to manufacture pure talc concentrates. Talc is employed as a reliable coating agent in offset printing paper and gravure, where it enhances the runnability of offset paper and the quality of the finished paper. Additionally, it is used to improve the productivity and quality of some specialty papers, such as labels and colored paper.

Talc is also used in polyethylene as an anti-clogging agent and helps recycled plastics regain their mechanical properties. Additionally, biopolymers and semi-crystalline polymers both use talc as nucleating agents.

Among the regions, Asia Pacific is anticipated to rule the global market on the basis of revenue growth. Expansion of the Asia Pacific market is attributed to surging industrialization, proliferating automotive sector, and rising demand for talc from the cosmetics and personal care sector, besides ceramics, paints & coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
