During the third quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in the USA reached 171 USD/MT in September. The slight upward movement was primarily driven by increasing demand from the construction and cement sectors, especially in the production of high-performance concrete and sustainable building materials. Raw material costs remained stable, though energy expenses and transportation surcharges slightly elevated overall pricing. Additionally, ongoing infrastructure projects supported by federal investments sustained steady consumption levels.
During the third quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in China reached 54 USD/MT in September. Prices declined mainly due to a slowdown in domestic construction activities and weaker demand for blended cements. Manufacturers faced reduced profit margins amid rising energy and environmental compliance costs. The oversupply of locally produced kaolin-based products further pressured pricing. Export demand also weakened slightly due to competitive pricing in Southeast Asian markets.
During the third quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in Germany reached 125 USD/MT in September. The notable price increase reflected robust demand from the green construction sector, driven by growing adoption of supplementary cementitious materials. Higher energy and production costs contributed to the price escalation, particularly as natural gas prices remained elevated across Europe. Logistics costs and port handling charges further added to the overall market value.
During the third quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in Spain reached 124 USD/MT in September. Prices registered a decline due to moderate demand and excess market inventories. Seasonal slowdowns in construction activities during the summer months contributed to weaker procurement. Although energy costs remained elevated, their impact on overall pricing was mitigated by steady domestic production and adequate supply availability.
During the third quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in Canada reached 156 USD/MT in September. The market observed a slight decline as industrial and construction activities slowed marginally during the summer period. Demand contraction, particularly in infrastructure-related projects, softened procurement volumes. Supply-side conditions remained stable with consistent output from domestic processors.

- USA: USD 165/MT
- China: USD 55/MT
- Germany: USD 115/MT
- Spain: USD 125/MT
- Canada: USD 155/MT
During the first quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in the USA reached 165 USD/MT in March. In the United States, metakaolin prices in Q1 2025 were influenced by steady construction sector activity and a gradual shift toward low-carbon cement alternatives. Energy-intensive calcination processes faced cost pressures due to elevated natural gas and electricity prices. Logistical inefficiencies, particularly in cross-country freight movement, added to transportation costs. Additionally, import competition from South American and European suppliers affected local price stability.
During the first quarter of 2025, metakaolin prices in China reached 55 USD/MT in March. Metakaolin prices in China during Q1 2025 were shaped by consistent domestic production and varied regional demand from the construction and ceramic sectors. Raw kaolin availability remained sufficient, but environmental regulations tightened kiln operations in key provinces, affecting supply chains. Export volumes fluctuated due to global construction sector uncertainty, while inland freight charges and labor cost adjustments contributed to overall pricing dynamics.
During the first quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in Germany reached 115 USD/MT in March. In Germany, Q1 2025 metakaolin pricing was driven by sustained demand from the green construction and infrastructure rehabilitation sectors.

However, slower construction growth in neighboring EU markets and challenges in rail freight efficiency impacted producer margins and pricing structures.
During the first quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in Spain reached 125 USD/MT in March. Spain’s metakaolin market in Q1 2025 experienced pricing pressure from a combination of rising energy input costs and inconsistent demand from the building materials and tile manufacturing sectors. Feedstock procurement faced regional disparities due to varying quality and accessibility of raw kaolin. Limited export demand within southern Europe and competitive pricing from North African producers also influenced market dynamics.
During the first quarter of 2025, the metakaolin prices in Canada reached 155 USD/MT in March. In Canada, metakaolin prices in Q1 2025 were impacted by seasonal construction slowdowns and logistical hurdles related to winter transport constraints. Energy tariffs in industrial zones raised processing costs for calcination units. Demand from the cement and mortar additives sector remained modest, while imports from the United States and Europe introduced additional pricing variability. Transportation bottlenecks in interprovincial movement further added to cost pressures.

Europe Metakaolin Price Trend
Q3 2025:
The metakaolin price index in Europe indicated mixed performance in Q3 2025. While Germany observed price increases supported by robust construction activities, countries such as Spain experienced marginal declines due to subdued seasonal demand. Energy costs across Europe remained a key determinant influencing price fluctuations. Supply chains operated steadily, though rising compliance costs and logistics expenses affected overall cost structures. Strong demand for sustainable building materials under the EU’s decarbonization framework reinforced the market’s long-term resilience.
Q2 2025:
The metakaolin price index in Europe showed steady growth during Q2 2025. Strong demand for supplementary cementitious materials in Germany and the United Kingdom supported upward movement. Energy and transportation costs remained elevated, influencing producer margins. Spain experienced moderate price improvements amid consistent domestic consumption. Broader EU decarbonization efforts encouraged the substitution of clinker with metakaolin in construction materials, strengthening long-term demand.
Q1 2025:
As per the metakaolin price index, the European metakaolin market faced persistent oversupply, driven by excess inventory from late 2024 and weak demand from the cement and construction sectors. Reduced production rates, minimal outages, and limited new orders from builders kept consumption low. Closed trade routes and logistical bottlenecks restricted market flexibility, while shorter lead times added pricing pressure. Rising electricity costs offered limited support, but falling energy prices in March slightly eased production costs. Nonetheless, the market remained oversupplied throughout the quarter, with continued declines in cement production and dispatches reinforcing subdued metakaolin demand and bearish sentiment.

Despite these pressures, strong demand fundamentals supported price resilience across the Asia Pacific market in Q2 2025.
Q1 2025:
In Q1 2025, the APAC metakaolin market saw firm pricing trends amid persistent supply constraints and cautious demand recovery. Limited kaolin clay availability, especially following mid-January rains in Northern China, restricted production. Despite weak construction sector demand due to historically low cement output in January, prices rose gradually as inventories tightened in February. March brought continued raw material shortages and modest recovery in cement production and shipments. However, ongoing declines in real estate investment and housing starts kept overall construction activity subdued, preventing substantial price surges despite supply-side pressures and slightly improved market sentiment.

Product Description
Metakaolin is a dehydroxylated form of the clay mineral kaolinite. Metakaolin is primarily used as a pozzolanic additive in concrete and other cement-based products. Metakaolin is generally produced through the calcination of kaolin clay between 650°C to 850°C temperature, a process that drains off the water molecules and increases the reactivity of resulting material. Metakaolin is a highly sought after product in the construction industry for its ability to enhance mechanical properties and durability of concrete. Metakaolin improves the concrete’s strength and reduces its permeability. Apart from concrete, metakaolin is also used in ceramics, refractory materials and water treatment. Its ecofriendly nature and performance enhancing properties makes it a popular choice in sustainable building practices helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint of cement production.
