India Barium Carbonate Market | Forecast, Industry, Revenue, Size, Analysis, Share, Growth, Value, Trends & Companies | Market Forecast By Product Form, By Application, By Region And Competitive Landscape

The barium carbonate market in India was characterized by robust growth driven by rising construction and ceramics industries. During COVID-19, the market faced downturn due to decline in various industries, including construction and real estate, where real estate sector suffered losses exceeding Rs 1 lakh crore and a 40% decline in Q1 of the financial year 2021.

The ceramic tile industry was also impacted, with India’s economy falling by 7.3% in the Apr-Jun quarter of 2021. The nationwide lockdown in Mar 2020 caused about 10 million migrant labourers to return to their home countries, resulting in severe labor shortages and significant challenges for ceramics, glass, bricks and tile manufacturers in meeting project deadlines.

The downturn in construction and real estate during COVID-19, coupled with labor shortages and a 7.3% GDP drop, led to reduced demand in barium carbonate application areas. This negatively impacted the barium carbonate market, as lower production and project delays constrained growth. Moreover, in 2021, the removal of the anti-dumping duty on Chinese barium carbonate intensified competition from cheaper imports, which potentially affected the growth of the Indian market. However, post covid strong rebound of construction, real estate and ceramic sector led to increased demand for barium carbonate, resulting in production ramp-ups, improved supply chains, and market expansion.

India Barium Carbonate Market Overview

India Barium Carbonate Market revenue size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during 2024-2030F. The construction and real estate industries have experienced significant growth. Moreover, India is undergoing rapid urbanization, with projections suggesting that 40% of the population would reside in urban areas by 2036. This surge in urban living is due to rising preference for luxury accommodations, which has increased the demand for ceramic tiles and could potentially drive up the demand for barium carbonate.

Additionally, India is emerging as a preferred manufacturing hub for speciality chemicals for domestic market due to various factors such as increased demand, government policies, expanding domestic consumer base, and lifestyle premiumization. Further, India's chemical industry is anticipated to hold 10-12% share of the global market by 2040. The sector is expected to grow at a steady rate of 11-12% during 2021-2027, and 7-10% during 2027-2040.

Additionally, the Indian tile market is expected to reach a volume of 1.39 billion square meters by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.49% from 2022 to 2027. The expanding chemicals and tile markets would drive higher demand for barium carbonate, further boosting its growth and market opportunities.

India Barium Carbonate Market Segmentation

Market Segmentation by Product Form

In 2023, the powder segment held the highest revenue share as powdered barium carbonate provides a sufficient surface area for effective dissolution and reactivity in processes where moderate reactivity is required. It strikes a balance between the high reactivity of ultra-fine powders and the lower reactivity of granular forms. Further, powdered barium carbonate are easier to handle, and mix compared to ultra-fine powders, which could be prone to dusting and aggregation. It also flows better in automated systems and is less likely to cause issues with equipment clogging or uneven feed. The powdered form's versatility and balance between reactivity, handling ease, and cost-effectiveness contribute significantly to its leading position in the market.

Market Segmentation by Application

In 2023, Frits & Enamel led the India Barium Carbonate market in revenue share due to their heavy use of the compound in ceramics, glass, and enamel products. This dominance was further fueled by the booming ceramic tiles, glass, and construction sectors, which increased demand for durable, high-quality materials.

India Barium Carbonate Market Opportunity Assessment

Market Segmentation by Region

In India, barium carbonate market is particularly strong in the western region, due to its strong industrial base and expanding infrastructure in Gujarat and Maharashtra. These states, key consumers of barium carbonate, have a booming construction sector driven by urbanization, boosting demand for materials like glass, tiles and bricks that use barium carbonate.
