<strong>Zeolite</strong> <strong>Market</strong> - Size, Share, Outlook, and<br />
Opportunity Analysis, 2018 – 2025<br />
<strong>Zeolite</strong> is aluminosilicate or molecular sieve, a crystalline solid made from silica,<br />
aluminum, and oxygen. They are naturally available and can be synthesized<br />
chemically. Some of the natural zeolites are analcime, chabazite, clinoptilolite,<br />
erionite, ferrierite, heulandite, laumontite, mordenite, and phillipsite. <strong>Zeolite</strong>s provide<br />
porous structure and high surface area. Due to its high selectivity, the desired<br />
reaction is catalyzed and the yield of a reaction is maximized. Molecular properties<br />
and structure of zeolite make it an ideal shape selective catalyst.<br />

<strong>Zeolite</strong>s, owing to its acidity, find application in catalytic cracking, alkylation,<br />
isomerization, and aromatization reactions. Fluidized catalytic cracking is the largest<br />
and oldest application of zeolite catalysts. <strong>Zeolite</strong>s have the unique ability to adsorb<br />
water while rejecting larger molecules and hence, find applications in drying air,<br />
organic solvents, natural gas, and refrigerants. Various type of zeolites such as<br />
ZSM-5, <strong>Zeolite</strong>s A, X, mordenite is used for removing gases such as ammonia<br />
(NH3), Sulfur dioxide (SO2), and Carbon dioxide (CO2). Purification of hydrocarbon<br />
liquids and gases is also done by zeolites.<br />
<strong>Zeolite</strong>s are increasingly being used in water treatment. In water and wastewater<br />
treatment, zeolites are used for heavy metal removal, ammonia removal, and water<br />
softening. The removal efficiency of zeolites depends upon contact time, type,<br />
amount, temperature, initial metal concentration, and pH. <strong>Zeolite</strong>s have been<br />
extensively used for removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater. <strong>Zeolite</strong>s<br />
are used for heavy metal removal in nuclear, mine, and industrial wastes. <strong>Zeolite</strong>s<br />
are also useful in agriculture to supply ammonium and potassium ions from soil.<br />
Researchers in the horticulture and agriculture sector are also focusing on zeolites<br />
for improving crop yields.<br />
By 2000, NASA scientists developed a synthetic super-soil, loaded with zeolite<br />
minerals that contain essential plant growth nutrients. This technique was named<br />
'zeoponics'. It is a new growth medium developed for space travel.
<strong>Market</strong> Dynamics<br />
A major driver for the growth of the global zeolite market is rising demand for the<br />
detergents for the domestic and industrial application. For instance, According to the<br />
department of consumer affairs, in India, the market for synthetic detergents was<br />
valued at about US $1.63 billion in 2013, with a compounded annual growth rate<br />
(CAGR) of three percent. <strong>Zeolite</strong>s remove dyes from the washing liquor by<br />
hetero-coagulation and adsorption. <strong>Zeolite</strong>s can exchange hard ions with soft ions<br />
and are used for softening of water.<br />
However, increasing adoption of catalysts, which are equally cost competitive may<br />
hamper the growth of the global zeolite market. For instance, Rare earth metal ions<br />
which are costly are being replaced by Copper, Zinc, Cobalt etc.<br />
<strong>Market</strong> Outlook<br />
Europe held the dominant position in the market in 2017. Radiation modified natural<br />
zeolites are used for treating nuclear waste and natural zeolite minerals as storage<br />
of solar energy. Europe is projected to maintain its dominance throughout the<br />
forecast period, owing to the rising use of bio-based raw materials and renewable<br />
sources of energies such as nuclear or solar. This factor will contribute towards the<br />
lucrative growth of global zeolite market.<br />
According to US Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook, in 2015, natural zeolites<br />
production was increased by 20% to 75,100 metric tons in the U.S. and global<br />
production was estimated at around 2.7-3.2 million metric tons. According to this<br />
survey, China was the leading producer of natural zeolites in 2015, with production<br />
likely in the range of 1.8 to 2.2 million metric tons.<br />
Among function, catalyst segment is projected to gain major traction over the<br />
forecast period, owing to high demand from chemical and petrochemicals industries.<br />
Properties of zeolites such as acidity and shape selectivity play a major role in their<br />
use as a catalyst and therefore is used in the manufacturing of chemicals and<br />
premium quality fuels.<br />
