Introduction
Worldwide more than 50 million tons of fillers with a total sum of ca. 25 billion Euro for different application areas, such as paper, plastics, rubber, paints and adhesives, are consumed annually. As such, fillers, produced by more than 700 companies, rank among the world's major raw materials and are contained in a variety of goods for daily consumer needs.
Formerly, fillers were used predominantly to cheapen end products. Today, it has been proven that fillers are also able to enhance technical properties of the products. As a result, a number of optimized types of fillers, nano-fillers or surface treated goods have been developed.
Among the 20 most important fillers, calcium carbonate holds the largest market volume and is mainly used in the paper industry and increasingly in the plastics sector. While formerly ground calcium carbonate was used, today precipitated calcium carbonate which is manufactured with the natural mineral is increasingly applied to enhance technical properties of the end product.
Another tendency can be seen in a partial shift of the filler market from North America and Europe to Asia, particularly China and India. There are several reasons for this development. Two factors need to be accentuated: On the one hand, these countries comprise of sufficient mineral deposits that can be exploited at low costs. On the other hand, parts of the plastics, rubber and paper manufacture have been shifted from industrialized to aspiring countries. As a result many companies purchase their raw material, especially fillers, locally.
Not only demand for fillers in Asian countries has increased, but also exports of mineral fillers to Europe and North America. We expect the whole filler market to grow by average rates of ca. 3% annually to xx million tons and a total sum of xx billion Euro in 2016, as all Western markets tend to grow and the percentage of fillers in goods will further increase. Since Asia is growing disproportionately high, its share in the global filler market will grow from 26% to presumably 44% in 2016, while the other regions will lose shares in the world market despite slight growth rates.
