U.S. Talc Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Talc Carbonate, Talc Chlorite), By Application (Plastics, Pulp & Paper, Ceramics, Paints & Coatings), And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2033
U.S. Talc Market Summary
The U.S. talc market size was estimated at USD 245.8 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 315.8 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2025 to 2033. The market's growth is driven by its diverse applications across various industries, particularly its crucial role as a functional filler in plastics.
The market's growth is also supported by the continued use of talc in consumer products, such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, where its softness and moisture-absorbing properties are valued. Talc, when mined from the earth in its natural form, sometimes gets contaminated with asbestos, a carcinogen that can cause cancer when inhaled. This has spurred a new era of technological advancement. The numerous lawsuits alleging a link between talc and cancer have been a powerful incentive for the industry to invest heavily in rigorous testing and supply chain transparency. This has prompted companies to innovate, with some opting to remove talc in certain products and focus on developing highly purified, asbestos-free grades for high-value applications. This push for safety and accountability is a key market driver, compelling the industry to adopt stricter quality control and establish a new consumer trust foundation through verifiable safety standards.
In response to these concerns, the U.S. government, led by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has taken proactive steps to strengthen regulatory supervision and establish clear standards for talc purity. A major initiative is a proposed rule that requires standardized testing methods to identify and detect asbestos in cosmetic products containing talc. This proposed rule directly responds to the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA). It aims to protect public health by building trust in product safety and driving the U.S. talc industry towards more rigorous testing and compliance. In May 2025, the FDA hosted an independent panel of scientific experts to discuss the necessity and safety of talc as an additive in drugs, food, and cosmetics. These governmental actions create a framework for greater accountability and transparency.
