Synopsis
The global market for Hydrotalcite was estimated to be worth US$ 236 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 314 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Hydrotalcites (CAS 11097-59-9), is a Layered Double Hydroxide whose name is derived from its resemblance with talc and its high water content. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) comprise an unusual class of layered materials with positively charged hydroxide layers and charge balancing, mobile anions located in the interlayer region. This structure gives these material anion-exchange properties. The natural form of hydrotalcite is mined in small quantities in the Snarum area of Norway and the Ural area of Russia. Carl Christian Hochstetter (1842) was the first to report about hydrotalcite, which was attached firmly to a schist. He described a white material with a pearl like luster, with the formula Mg6Al2(OH)16CO3. 4H2O.
Hydrotalcites are mainly used in PVC and CPVC, and Polyolefins.
Polyolefins are utilized in a wide range of applications, including packaging, cable insulation, clothing, and medical products. However, before polyolefin materials from the reactor can be used for their intended purpose, they must undergo several processing steps.
Renowned for their pivotal role and performance as co-stabilizers in PVC and CPVC, Hydrotalcites play a crucial role in capturing the chlorine released during the thermal degradation process, thus significantly enhancing heat stability. Their exceptional purity and anion exchange mechanism make them highly effective acid scavengers, solidifying their status as unparalleled PVC and CPVC stabilizers.
The hydrotalcite industry is experiencing steady growth, driven by its versatile applications across various sectors such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection. As an eco-friendly and non-toxic material, hydrotalcite has gained significant traction as a halogen-free flame retardant and stabilizer, especially in the polymer and automotive industries. The rising focus on sustainability and stricter environmental regulations have further propelled its adoption in wastewater treatment and as a green additive. Asia-Pacific emerges as a dominant market due to rapid industrialization and robust demand from key end-use industries. However, challenges such as raw material price volatility, high production costs, and market fragmentation persist, prompting increased investments in research and development to unlock new applications and enhance product performance. Overall, the hydrotalcite industry is poised for growth, underpinned by innovation and the global shift toward sustainable practices.
