Strong demand from end-use industries such as mineral processing, explosives & drilling, water & wastewater treatment, drives the mining chemicals market


The mining industry utilizes chemicals in all stages of production. These chemicals are used to increase the efficiency and productivity of mining processes such as extraction and recovery of minerals from ores. A wide variety of general and specialty chemicals are utilized for mining. The mining chemicals market has generally been characterized by fluctuations in commodity prices, low profit margins, and increased competition from producers in less developed countries, especially China which has aggressively been manufacturing and exporting mining chemicals. Continuous changes in the landscape of ores have shifted the focus of mining chemical providers towards innovations in the technology that can ensure economical treatment of ores. Advancements in terms of product innovations and technologies are expected to create substantial investment opportunities for mining chemicals.

The mining chemicals market size is estimated to grow from USD 6.02 Billion in 2017 to USD 7.54 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 4.60%. The mining chemicals market is witnessing considerable growth due to the rise in industrialization and infrastructural development. High demand for mining chemicals is primarily attributed to increasing complexity of ores and decreasing ore grades. The mining chemicals industry has come across new opportunities due to the growing stringent government regulations on wastewater pollution, coupled with the rising demand for quality minerals.

Expansions, Acquisitions, and Mergers were the Key Strategies Adopted by the Major Players to Achieve Growth in the Global Sodium Silicate Market.

The sodium silicate market size is projected to reach USD 11.03 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 4.4% between 2017 and 2022. Sodium silicate is a versatile inorganic chemical. It is produced as a white crystalline powder or in the form of lumps that are soluble in water. It is manufactured by melting sand/silicon dioxide (SiO2) and soda ash/sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) at a temperature above 1800 °F in a closed end furnace. Caustic soda/sodium hydroxide is used instead of sodium carbonate for the direct production of liquid sodium silicate. Sodium silicate is a non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-explosive chemical. It is a strong alkaline chemical having high pH ranging from 10 to 13. Its alkaline nature makes it preferable for various applications such as detergents, precipitated silica, construction, pulp & paper, textiles, paints, foundry, and water treatment. The increasing use of sodium silicate in various applications, such as detergents, precipitated silica, and pulp & paper, is expected to drive the market.
