Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Europe: Several factors contributed to the upward pricing movement. On the demand side, there was continued industrial growth, particularly in construction and drilling applications, where bentonite is extensively used. On the supply side, there was a tightening in supply due to the ongoing global transportation challenges, including delays in shipping and increased port handling charges. Currency fluctuations, particularly the strength of the Euro, also contributed to pricing shifts. Additionally, European compliance costs related to environmental and sustainability certifications affected prices. Notably, countries like Germany, France, and Italy were heavily impacted by both increased production costs and rising demand, which pushed the prices slightly higher during the quarter.
North America: The bentonite market in North America saw a rise in Q3 2025. The demand remained robust, especially from sectors like agriculture, drilling, and construction, where bentonite is used for its absorbent and viscosity-modifying properties. Supply-side factors were influenced by fluctuations in domestic mining outputs and higher logistics costs due to fuel price hikes and international shipping disruptions. These logistical challenges were exacerbated by port congestion and increased handling charges. Additionally, the depreciation of the US Dollar in comparison to other major currencies played a role in pushing prices upward as imports became more expensive. The US and Canada were the primary contributors to this regional price increase, with limited supply options driving up costs.

Product Description
Bentonite is a naturally occurring absorbent clay composed mainly of montmorillonite, classified under industrial minerals. It appears as a fine, soft powder that swells significantly when mixed with water, making it highly versatile across industrial applications. Its unique property of high cation exchange capacity and viscosity control places it among the most widely used clays globally. In the oil and gas industry, bentonite serves as a key component of drilling muds for lubricating and cooling drill bits. It is also used in iron ore pelletizing, foundry molds, construction projects for waterproofing, and in consumer products like cat litter due to its absorbent nature.
