Kaolin Mining
Kaolin is primarily used in the production of paper, ceramics, paints, coatings, plastics, rubber, and pharmaceuticals.
As of recent estimates, the world consumes approximately 26 to 28 million metric tons of kaolin annually. Regions such as China, the United States, Brazil, and the European Union are among the largest consumers of kaolin due to their significant paper, ceramics, and coatings industries.
Kaolin is expected to remain a valuable industrial mineral with continued demand across diverse sectors, supporting its future consumption growth globally.
