REPORT DESCRIPTION

Transparency Market Research has published a new market report titled “Attapulgite Market - Global

Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020.” 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.
