4A Zeolites Prices (Q4 2021)

Asia

Increased government infrastructure spending in markets such as India and China were expected to drive product demand due to the increasing use of zeolite in the production of lightweight construction materials and as a major component in the production of asphalt concrete.

North America

After a long period of inactivity, the market saw some restrictions reintroduced as a result of the discovery of a new variant of COVID. There was also an increase in demand for electric vehicles, so the zeolites market was viewed favourably. Zeotech created the first bench-scale continuous closed loop circuit in November. It is used in the production of pure linde type-A synthetic zeolite products from kaolin feedstock. This development indicated that the zeolite market was expanding.

4A Zeolites Prices (Q1-Q3 2021)

Europe

The zeolite industry was expected to be driven by stringent government requirements for greenhouse gas emissions, as well as a strong production base of detergents and refrigerants in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, during the first three quarters of 2021.

North America

The increased production volume of zeolites as detergent builders was expected to boost the industry's expansion due to their excellent cleaning capabilities. The commodities, on the other hand, are classified as hazardous chemicals under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200. Because increased exposure to such things has been linked to an increased risk of malignant mesothelioma, government laws have had a positive impact on market growth.

Latin America

There was a growing emphasis on eco-friendly products. Dirt and other foreign particles are removed more effectively by zeolite-based detergents than by conventional detergents. As a result of this factor, the zeolite market grew positively. Separation processes such as water purification and filtration have seen an increase in demand.

4A Zeolites Prices Overview 2020

Asia

In India, the zeolite market in 2020 maintained a consistent price of 764 USD/MT throughout the year, while it was priced at 728 USD/MT in China. Water contamination was a major concern, so governments all over the world enacted strict regulations for the disposal of waste generated by the production of detergents and other chemicals. Because zeolites, as cation-exchangers, aid in pollution control, this boosted market growth.

Europe

Europe had the second-largest revenue share in 2020. In the Netherlands, the metal's price was recorded at 553 USD/MT.

North America

The detergent builders segment accounted for more than 55% of total sales in 2020. The increased production volume of zeolites as detergent builders, owing to their superior cleaning properties, was predicted to aid the industry's growth. Because of its excellent efficacy in removing dirt and preventing the deposition of any unwanted particles, this metal is commonly used as a phosphorus alternative in detergent manufacturing.

Latin America

The price in South America is heavily influenced by the North American market. There was a demand for zeolite in the detergent market, which influenced the South American market. Zeolite was chosen over phosphorous due to environmental concerns and government restrictions. Governments were also providing incentives, resulting in a positive growth in this region's zeolite market.
