The global zeolite market size is projected to reach USD 6.06 billion by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. Exponential growth in construction activities worldwide is expected to surge the product demand in the coming years, states Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Zeolite Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Natural [By Application {Construction & Building Materials, Animal Feed, Wastewater Treatment, Soil Remediation, and Others}], Synthetic [By Application {Detergents, Catalysts, and Adsorbents}]), and Regional Forecast, 2019-2026”. A report published by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) forecasts that the global construction output volume will rise by 85% in the next decade, reaching a value of USD 15.5 trillion by 2030. Zeolite is extensively used in the construction as an additive and natural zeolite is commonly applied in cement production for blending purposes. This material provides the necessary strength to cement and concrete, which makes the structure durable and long-lasting. Thus, accelerated pace of construction projects will augur well for this market in the near future.

Efficacy of Zeolite in Water Treatment to Stoke Adoption
Zeolite media for water treatment has proven efficacy and high efficiency in wastewater filtration. The effectiveness of water treatment processes is dependent on the pores in the filtration media. Zeolite media have a large number of pores which enables them to not just capture particles between grains, but also absorb them into their pores to trap them. Its high pore density gives zeolite structures greater effective surface area, implying that this material can catch high concentrations of contaminants during the initial filtration process itself. As a result of these properties, zeolite is useful in treating hydrocarbons, oils, heavy metals, bacteria, turbidity, and nitrates & phosphates. Moreover, it can be applied in industrial process water treatment, drinking water treatment, radioactive water treatment, and grey water treatment.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific to Lead the Pack Supported by Rapid Infrastructure Development
Promising economic growth in Asia Pacific, especially in India, China, and Vietnam, is expected to enable the region to dominate the zeolite market share during the forecast period. This growth can be seen through the lens of rapid development of various infrastructures in these countries, which is skyrocketing the demand for efficient building materials such as zeolite.
In North America, where the market size stood at USD 724.7 million, the market growth is premised on the expanding activities in the animal feed industry. Stringent regulations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on animal health are expected to further propel the regional market. The market size in Europe is set to expand owing to active adoption of advanced wastewater treatment materials and technologies in the region.
