Perlite Market Research Report - By Form (Expanded Perlite and Crude Perlite), Application (Construction, Agriculture & Horticulture, Industrial, others) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America)  - Forecast to 2030

Market Snapshots:

As per the analysis of Market Research Future (MRFR), the perlite market is poised to grow at a CAGR of approximately 6.85% over the forecast period of 2018-2023. The Perlite Market stood at USD 1,512 Mn in 2017 and is slated to reach a valuation of USD 2,250 Mn by the end of 2023. Perlite is a naturally occurring amorphous volcanic glass which expands and becomes porous when heated. Perlite expands exceptionally, as much as 20 times to its original volume when heated, which sets it apart from other volcanic glasses. Perlite finds application in various industry verticals such as agriculture & horticulture, construction, and others which propels the growth of the Perlite Market. 
The Acceleration in the growth of the construction industry, especially in residential construction is expected to reflect positively on the growth of the market. High functional properties of perlite make it desirable in various application. In the construction industry, perlite is used for fire ratings, reduction of noise transmission, insulation, and for applications in under-floor insulation, chimney linings, paint texturing, gypsum boards, and others.
Expanded perlite, in particular, forms an essential part of the construction industry for lightweight insulating concrete, masonry fill insulation, loose fill insulation, and others.  Expanded perlite has demonstrated outstanding yield in horticultural applications. They are used for moisture retention in soil-less growing mixes, greenhouse plantations, and landscaping purposes. Encouraging results in horticulture has fostered the growth of the perlite market.
On the downside, the growth of the Perlite Market can be dampened by the availability of substitutes which are environmentally less hazardous and can be used without losing any of the benefits of perlite. Fine particles found in perlite may cause breathing problems in humans.
