Barite Market: Dynamics
Barite is primarily employed as a weighting agent in the oil & gas industry. The global demand for energy has been increasing at a significant pace after a decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is boosting oil & gas exploration and drilling activities. Thus, increase in the production of oil and gas is propelling the global barite market.
Barite is used as a filler agent in coatings. It is used as a pigment in paints, while it is employed as a weighted filler in paper, textile, and rubber industries. It is widely used in the paints industry as an extender for primers, as it provides clean whiteness. It is used in walls and undercoats to beautify smooth walls. Led by the rise in usage of barite as a filer agent in coatings, the barite market is expected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period.
Barite is used as filling agent in the rubber industry. It helps increase the life of rubber products, as products become waterproof and their durability increases. It also helps reduce the cost of rubber products. The strength of these products also increases, making them resistant to alkali and acid. This has led to a rise in the demand for barite.
Barite is increasingly used in the construction industry, specifically for the manufacture of reactors. Barite is added to concrete aggregates during the construction of an atomic reactor, owing to its ability to absorb gamma radiations. Manufacturers focus on paints and rubber industries, as the share held by these end-use industries in the barite market is likely to increase during the forecast period.
