Attapulgite Market Growth & Trends

The global attapulgite market size is expected to reach USD 349.9 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 2.8% from 2025 to 2030. Increase use of the attapulgite mineral in pet waste absorbents, such as cat litter, is projected to assist in the market growth. The pet waste absorbents segment accounted for a volume share of 12.9% in the global market. The mineral is used in the manufacturing of absorbent products, which are primarily used as pet litter for cats, birds, dogs, and guinea pigs.

It absorbs 300% more liquid or urine compared to other minerals in pet litter applications and also has the ability to restore itself while staying intact. Superior absorbent properties of attapulgite prevent the clumping of pet waste. It also draws moisture and smell from animal/pet feces. It is lighter in nature compared to bentonite pet litter products. These products provide several advantages, such as they are economical, have excellent odor control & absorbing capacity, and can be recycled.

Attapulgite products are widely used in oil drilling applications. Some of the advantages of attapulgite-based suspending agents are effective in lost circulation methods, easy availability, low cost compared to other lost circulation methods, and high shelf life of up to 24 months. In addition, these products remain stable at high temperatures and high-pressure conditions at the bottom of oil wells. Hence, an increase in the demand for oil & gas products is likely to fuel market growth over the coming years.

The U.S. has large deposits of attapulgite in Florida and Georgia states, wherein multinational companies, such as BASF, hold a prominent position. The country is among the leading producers and consumers of attapulgite minerals and related products. The demand for the product from refining & processing in the oil & gas industry is projected to assist in the market growth in the long run. BASF is the leading producer and processor of attapulgite minerals. The company’s mining operations cover over 16,000 acres of area in Florida and Georgia.
