Dublin, Sept. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Pumice Market Outlook to 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
A recent report has projected a significant growth rate for the global Pumice market in the upcoming forecasted period. The Pumice market is anticipated to experience robust expansion, driven by multiple factors spanning various industries.
The rising utilization of Pumice in personal care products, including soaps, hand cleansers, body gels, and facial and foot scrub products, as an effective exfoliator is expected to be a prime driver for the global Pumice market. Additionally, its porous nature, low weight, and hardness make Pumice a preferred choice in the horticultural sector, further contributing to the market's growth.
In the construction realm, the use of Pumice in building materials, particularly in the production of lightweight concrete and cinder blocks, stands as a significant growth catalyst. Its incorporation as an additive in cement enhances its application potential. However, challenges such as potential damage to boat engines, disruption to fishing vessels due to Pumice infiltration, and risks to marine animals from ingesting Pumice fine ash may hinder market growth.
Pumice's versatility extends across various sectors, including personal care, horticulture, and industrial applications. It serves as an abrasive in polishes, pencil erasers, and stonewashed denim production. The medical field benefits from Pumice's use in treating ulcers and corneal issues.
The primary driver of Pumice demand lies within the Personal Care sector, where its application in softening calluses, corns, and foot care products fuels market growth. Notably, the U.S. Geological Survey reported a decrease in Pumice production in 2020 compared to the previous year, but the natural and eco-friendly nature of Pumice, coupled with its efficacy in hair removal and dental care, contributes to sustained market demand.
The Asia Pacific region is positioned to lead the global Pumice market, with countries like China and India contributing significantly to Pumice consumption. The region's growing population drives demand for food, while Pumice's porous structure aids nutrient retention in horticulture. Urbanization trends also fuel demand for Pumice-based building materials.
The Pumice Industry's growth is supported by its insulation properties, applicability in abrasive products, medical applications, and construction materials. Notably, market leaders such as Armisum, Ward Pumice Company, Pomza Export, and United States Pumice Co are shaping the industry landscape.
Recent developments underscore the industry's potential. In June 2021, Dry Jig Technology showcased Pumice's value in lightweight brick production, highlighting its historical significance as a construction material. CR Minerals, a key player, expanded its production capacity with a new manufacturing facility in Pueblo, Colorado in June 2020.
