Market Outlook
Product Type & Applications
The market is segmented by Product Type into Sodium Bentonite, Calcium Bentonite, and Others. • Sodium Bentonite dominates due to its swelling properties, making it highly preferred in drilling, sealing, foundry, and civil engineering uses. • Calcium Bentonite and other types are more used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and applications where high swelling is not essential.

In terms of Application, sectors like drilling muds (oil & gas), foundry sands (metal casting), civil engineering (sealants, liners, water control), and cat litter are big contributors. Also, newer demand comes from personal care & cosmetics, environmental remediation, etc.

Regional Insights
Asia-Pacific is forecasted to have strong growth thanks to increasing urban infrastructure, growing cosmetics & personal care sectors, and expanding construction and oil/gas exploration activity.

North America & Europe maintain substantial share due to mature industrial usage, regulatory standards, established supply chain and mining infrastructure.

Other Regions (Middle East & Africa, South America) have opportunities especially in oil & gas, foundry, and civil engineering, though challenges exist in logistics, regulatory permits, and environmental compliance.
