Barite is a colorless mineral, primarily comprising barium sulfate with few impurities. It is the primary source of barium. Barite is used in industries such as oil and gas and chemicals. It is also employed in electronics, medical, automotive, rubber, and paint industries. Barite is an important component of drilling fluids that are used in the crude oil drilling process in the oil and gas industry. It is used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids to inhibit overflow and suppress high formation pressure during the drilling process due to its high specific gravity.

Rise in exploration and production activities in the oil and gas industry is estimated to drive the barite market in the near future. Barite forms an indispensable component of drilling fluid. It is used in drilling as well as completion process of oil and gas production. Barite elevates the hydrostatic pressure of drilling mud, enabling it to offset the high-pressure zones encountered during drilling. Specific gravity of barite is highly important in the drilling process; hence, drilling grade barite is offered by manufacturers. However, availability of substitutes such as itabirite, celestite, illmenite, and hematite is likely to hamper the barite market. Potential application of barite in various industries is projected to provide immense opportunities to market players in the near future.
