Barite, a mineral primarily composed of barium sulfate, holds significance in various industries. Its dense nature makes it valuable in oil and gas drilling as a drilling mud additive, helping control well pressure. Barite is also used in the medical field for X-ray contrast agents. Additionally, it finds applications in paint, plastics, and rubber manufacturing due to its high refractive index. Its diverse uses underscore its importance in various sectors of the economy.
Expansion of the automotive industry is creating revenue streams for manufacturers due to growing demand for brake pads and clutches for cars, as indicated by a new Future Market Insights (FMI) report. Global barite market size will cross the US$ 2 Billion mark by the end of 2030.
Drilling mud applications are expected to account for substantial revenues amongst all applications, in the global barite market. Untapped opportunities in the medical industry are also generating incremental opportunities for manufacturers. Barite would experience steady demand growth in paints and plastics industries, as it is widely utilized to control the viscosity and add brightness to end products.
Key companies in the barite market are set to experience disruptions in supply chains owing to recent developments related to coronavirus crisis. Manufacturers are accelerating efforts to join the fight against COVID-19 pandemic by taking a step forward to donate barite cement for the construction of hospital radiotherapy bunker where coronavirus treatments are carried out.
