According to a market report published by Future Market Insights titled “Global Iron Oxide market in its latest report titled ‘Iron Oxide Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2014 – 2020’, the long-term outlook on the global iron oxide market is positive with the market value expected to increase at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period (2014 – 2020), reaching an estimated market size valued at around US$ 1.8 Bn by 2020.
Iron oxides are commonly available chemical compounds composed of iron (Fe) and oxides. Iron oxides are mainly used in the form of iron ores, pigments, catalysts, etc. They are produced from both natural and synthetic resources and various types of iron oxides are produced in varying colours. The iron oxides represented by the chemical formula Fe2O3 are mainly red-coloured and brown-coloured iron oxides. Of the various types of iron oxides, primary iron oxides, consisting of red, black and yellow types are estimated to hold a majority share by value in the global iron oxide market.
The iron oxide market has been analysed on the basis of product type and application. Among the product type segments, the red iron oxide segment is expected to account for over 40% of the overall consumption of iron oxide, while growing at a significant CAGR in terms of value over the forecast period. On the basis of application, the construction materials segment holds a dominant share at present and is estimated to hold a majority share throughout the forecast period. The consumption of iron oxide in paints and coatings for aesthetic purposes in architectural and automotive industries is also high. The increase in the demand for iron oxide is driven by the growing consumption of raw materials for construction activities, which are further fuelled by the burgeoning rate of industrialization and urbanization.
