Growing applications of engineered plastics in consumer electronics and the automotive industry is anticipated to be a chief growth factor.
In a recent market survey, Future Market Insights (FMI) has projected the global fine hydrates market size to total US$ 371.6 Mn in 2021, with sales growing at a robust 7.2% CAGR throughout the forecast period.
Growing demand for fine hydrates for the production of thermoplastics, polyester resins, and engineered plastic from various end-use industries is expected to drive growth of the market. As per FMI, demand for fine hydrate is expected to grow year-over-year by 7.40% between 2020 and 2021, with total volume reaching 531.1 Mn Tons in 2021.
Fine hydrates are increasingly adopted in the automotive sector to produce lightweight vehicles. Shifting consumer preference for lighter vehicles driven by stringent regulations to curb carbon emissions is expected to have a positive impact on demand for fine hydrates in the forthcoming years.

Besides this, fine hydrates are used in the paints and coatings industry for improving the color payoff in pigments and enhancing transparency in coatings. Rising focus on the visual appeal of automobiles is spurring demand for fine hydrates in the paints and coatings segment for automotive refinishing. This trend is expected to bode well for the fine hydrate market.
The advent of nanotechnology to reduce the particle size of fine hydrate will continue propelling sales over the forecast period. Smaller particle size of fine hydrates will make them more effective in fire retardants, which in turn will fuel prospects for the sales in the market.
As per the report, the U.S., Germany, and China are projected to emerge as key exporters of fine hydrates. Demand for fine hydrates in the automotive sector in the U.S. is expected to remain high. Meanwhile, expansion of the construction and consumer electronics sector will continue augmenting sales in Germany and China.
"Growing demand for non-halogenic fire retardants made from eco-friendly materials is expected to fuel the demand for fine hydrates. Apart from this, increasing adoption of fine hydrates in nanoclays for applications in wires and cables in the construction sector will continue augmenting growth of the market through 2031,” says an FMI analyst.
