Vancouver, Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global bentonite market has demonstrated a remarkable growth trajectory, reaching a size of USD 2.00 Billion in 2022, with expectations of a steady revenue Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during the forecast period. The market is propelled by several key factors, including the increasing demand for bentonite in the oil and gas industry, the rising need for iron ore pellet production in steel manufacturing, and growing demands from the drilling industry.
Oil and Gas Industry Boosts Bentonite Market:
A major driver of the market is the escalating requirement for bentonite in the oil and gas sector. Bentonite, a fundamental component of drilling mud, exhibits superior performance, creating a slurry that cleans boreholes, lubricates and cools drill bits, and shields underground formations. The thixotropic effect of bentonite prevents penetration into surrounding soil, making it ideal for geotechnical and environmental research in oil and gas wells. However, strict government regulations in the United States, such as the Toxic Substances Control Act, may pose challenges to market growth.
Drilling Industry's Role in Growth:
The drilling industry plays a pivotal role in the market's growth as bentonite enhances the effectiveness and performance of drilling fluids. Increased viscosity and gel strength of fluids assist in suspending and carrying drill cuttings to the surface, protecting the borehole, and reducing fluid loss. Bentonite is a crucial component of water-based drilling fluids, especially in Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and other trenchless techniques. Despite potential regulatory hurdles, the market is expected to thrive as bentonite continues to be modified and blended with additives to meet diverse drilling requirements.

Market Trends:
A noteworthy trend is the rising use of organically modified bentonites in geosynthetic clay liner systems. These Organo bentonites, altered by ion exchange, offer enhanced adsorption of organic pollutants and improved chemical compatibility in geosynthetic clay liners. The market is witnessing innovation to meet environmental and engineering demands.
Product Type Insights:
In 2022, the sodium bentonite segment dominated the market due to its high demand in various industrial applications. Its superior swelling capacity and water absorption, coupled with cost advantages, give sodium bentonite a competitive edge. Meanwhile, the calcium bentonite segment is anticipated to experience rapid revenue growth, driven by its use in the food industry to absorb pollutants and enhance the clarity, flavor, and shelf life of various products.
Application Insights:
The foundry sands segment held the largest revenue share in 2022, driven by substantial demand for bentonite as a bonding agent in metal casting. In contrast, the drilling muds segment is expected to witness significant revenue growth, fueled by the need for oil and gas production and development, particularly in unconventional resources. The pharmaceuticals segment dominated end-use industries in 2022, with bentonite used as a binder, filler, and carrier in pharmaceutical formulations.
Regional Insights:
Asia Pacific claimed a significant revenue share in 2022, driven by the rising demand for bentonite in personal care, cosmetics, and construction industries. Key market players are actively participating in regional events to showcase the impact of bentonite solutions on safety and productivity. North America, with substantial bentonite deposits in Wyoming, is poised for robust growth, propelled by increased drilling and fracking technology investment. Europe, driven by the pet litter market, is expected to register fast revenue growth due to the rising adoption of cats and the demand for natural and environmentally friendly cat litter products.
