Dolomite is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of the mineral dolomite, which is calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO3)2). It is utilized in the production of glass and ceramics and typically forms from limestone through a process known as dolomitization.
The main types of dolomite products include calcined dolomite, agglomerated dolomite, and sintered dolomite. Calcined dolomite is created by heating dolomite to high temperatures, resulting in a material rich in magnesium oxide and calcium oxide. It is available in various crystal forms, such as planar-E, planar-S, and non-planar. This product serves multiple industries, including agriculture, ceramics and glass, cement, mining and metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment, among others.
The dolomite market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dolomite market statistics, including dolomite industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a dolomite market share, detailed dolomite market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dolomite industry. This dolomite market research report delivers a complete perspective on everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The dolomite market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.4 billion in 2024 to $2.57 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased use in horticulture, increased investments in mining infrastructure, growing demand for magnesium compounds, an increased focus on eco-friendly farming, and a growing emphasis on eco-friendly and sustainable construction practices.
The dolomite market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.34 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand in construction, steel production growth, rapid urbanization, the demand for dolomite in glass production, increasing demand for pharmaceuticals, and rising ongoing infrastructure projects. Major trends in the forecast period include advances in mining technology, advanced processing techniques, innovations in dolomite extraction and processing techniques, sustainable mining practices, and the development of new dolomite products.
The expanding construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the dolomite market in the future. The construction sector involves planning, designing, and executing various building and infrastructure projects, including residential, commercial, and civil engineering works. Increased demand in the construction industry stems from factors such as population growth, urbanization, infrastructure improvements, and real estate investments, which fuel new projects and renovations. Dolomite is a key material in construction, used as an aggregate in concrete and asphalt, for lime production in soil stabilization, and in building products and road construction. For example, a report by the Office for National Statistics in February 2023 indicated that the UK's annual construction output increased by 5.6% in 2022 compared to 2021, following a notable rise of 12.8% in 2021. Consequently, the growth in the construction industry is propelling the demand for dolomite.
Leading companies in the dolomite market are focusing on broadening their product offerings through strategic collaborations to strengthen their market presence and meet diverse consumer needs. These alliances allow companies to expand their product range or services by partnering with other businesses. For example, in July 2024, Blastr Green Steel, a Norway-based green steel producer, formed a partnership with Lhoist Group, a Belgium-based producer of lime, dolomite, and minerals. The collaboration aims to supply low-carbon lime and dolomite for Blastr's upcoming steel plant in Inkoo, Finland, with the goal of reducing Scope 3 emissions in steel production. This partnership leverages Lhoist's LEVEL|GREEN products, which could reduce emissions by up to 50 kg CO2 per tonne of steel produced, helping Blastr meet its target of 300 kg CO2 emissions per ton, a 90% reduction from conventional methods. The collaboration also includes technical support for integrating these materials into production and exploring the establishment of a terminal for efficient supply logistics, contributing to Blastr's objective of producing 2.5 million metric tons of ultra-low CO2 steel annually.
In June 2022, SMA Mineral AB, a Sweden-based lime manufacturer, formed a partnership with SaltX Technology AB valued at 73 million. Through this collaboration, SMA Mineral AB intends to utilize SaltX Technology AB's cutting-edge energy storage solutions to speed up the production of "green lime," thereby promoting sustainability in lime manufacturing and advancing environmentally friendly practices in the industrial sector. SaltX Technology AB is a Sweden-based company specializing in energy storage.
