Global Dolomite Powder Market Highlights over 2022 – 2031
The global dolomite powder market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of ~4% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2031. Dolomite powder is derived from the dolomite mineral, which is formed under low oxygen conditions. This powder is extensively used as a soil fertilizer, and concrete aggregate. Further, dolomite is also used as a substitute for limestone. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing application of dolomite powder in the construction and agriculture industries. Dolomite powder serves as an excellent fertilizer for the soil, as it maintains the magnesium level of the soil. Moreover, dolomite powder is essential for manufacturing steel and cement. As a result, the growing demand for steel is estimated to boost the market growth. For instance, global crude steel production reached approximately 1,850 million metric tons in 2020, whereas, the total production of cement globally amounted to around 4 billion metric tons in the same year. Furthermore, dolomite powder is also used as a plastic filler to improve hardness, heat resistance, and electrical insulation of the material. Such diverse application of dolomite powder is estimated to boost the market growth.
The market is segmented by application into steel making, cement industry, agriculture, glass, ceramic, rubber, and others, out of which, the agriculture segment is anticipated to hold a substantial share in the global dolomite powder market over the forecast period on account of increasing usage of dolomite to improve soil fertility. Dolomite powder is rich in magnesium, which is why, it is used to adjust magnesium deficiency in the soil, and reduce soil acidity. CLICK TO DOWNLOAD SAMPLE REPORT
