The report also gives an insight into the manufacturing process of barium carbonate, covering key success and risk factors for manufacturers, detailed process flow, the reactions involved, raw materials and their requirements, etc.
The report has segmented the global barium carbonate market on the basis of end-use. Barium carbonate has applications in a wide variety of industries. It is used in the glass manufacturing industry as it increases the refractive index and lustre of the glass. Specialty glass made by using barium carbonate provides radiation shielding in CRT televisions. It is also used in making bricks, clays, photographic paper coatings, hard ferrite magnets, permanent ceramic magnets for loudspeakers and in the removal of sulphate from salt brines before they are fed into electrolytic cells. The report finds that the glass industry accounts for almost half of the total consumption of barium carbonate. It is followed by brick and clay, barium ferrites and photographic paper coating industries. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global barium carbonate market to grow at a CAGR of 7.20% during 2021-2026.
The report has segmented the global barium carbonate market on the basis of major regions. China currently dominates the barium carbonate market accounting for the majority of the total global production. On the basis of import data, Japan represents the largest global importer of barium carbonate followed by the Republic of Korea, Spain, Saudi Arabia and France. On the other hand, China represents the largest exporter of barium carbonate accounting for the majority of the total global exports. China was followed by the United States and India.
Key Questions Answered in This Report:
The global barium carbonate market size was valued at US$ 537.1 Million in 2020.
According to the estimates by IMARC Group, the global barium carbonate market is expected to witness a CAGR of 7.2% from 2021 to 2026.
The rise in construction activities represents the primary factor driving the market across the globe. Barium carbonate is widely used for glazing ceramic tiles as it acts as a crystallizing and matting agent and synthesizes unique colors when combined with specific coloring oxides.
The major trends in the market are technological innovations that have expanded the applications of barium carbonate across various end use industries.
Sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations resulting temporary closure of numerous end-use industries for barium carbonate.
On the basis of the end-use, the market has been bifurcated into glass, barium ferrites, brick and clay, photographic paper coatings, and others. Currently, glass represents the majority of the total market share.
Region-wise, the market has been classified into China, Japan, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa, where China dominates the global market.
