Attapulgite Market
REPORT DESCRIPTION
Transparency Market Research has published a new market report titled, According to the report, the attapulgite market
was valued at USD 238.5 million in 2013 and is likely to reach USD 418.8 million by 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 8.3%
during the forecast period from 2014 to 2020. In terms of volume, the global demand for attapulgite stood at 1,391.8 kilo
tons in 2013.
Increase in oil rig drilling activities, growth of the healthcare industry and rise in construction activities are some of the key
factors driving demand for attapulgite. Attapulgite is widely used in offshore oil and gas drilling activities, especially in
North America, as the mineral swells and forms gel structures in salt water. Additionally, rising demand for innovative cat
litter absorbents is expected to fuel market growth during the forecast period. Cat litter absorbent manufactured using
attapulgite clay effectively absorbs urine as it passes through the mineral layer, leaving a clean surface for the next use.
However, stringent mining regulations, especially in the U.S., are likely to hamper the overall growth of the market.
Nonetheless, use of attapulgite in novel applications such as cosmetics, chemicals and paper is anticipated to offer new
opportunities for market growth.

The colloidal grade attapulgite segment dominated the global attapulgite market, accounting for over 65% share in 2013.
Colloidal grade attapulgite is consumed in large quantities in end-use industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, cosmetics,
and paints & coatings. Hence, the colloidal grade attapulgite segment is anticipated to gain market share in the next few
years.
Demand for attapulgite in the cat litter absorbent segment stood at 508.9 kilo tons in 2013. It was the largest end-use
industry in the attapulgite market. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. However, the oil & gas
segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the attapulgite market due to rising onshore and offshore oil drilling
activities. Furthermore, demand for attapulgite is likely to be significant in the medical & pharmaceutical sector during the
forecast period due to the increasing demand for natural and organic medicines.
Global-attapulgite-market
North America was the largest market for attapulgite, accounting for a share of 35% in 2013 in terms of volume. However,
countries in Asia Pacific and Rest of the World are expected to witness the fastest growth in the attapulgite market during
the forecast period due to a rise in oil drilling and civil construction activities.
