Global demand for kaolin is forecast to grow nearly two percent per year to 25 million metric tons in 2013. Over the forecast period, demand for kaolin in paper production is expected to improve, offsetting an expected slowdown in the ceramics market. In general, kaolin demand in advanced economies is projected to recover from the declines of the 2003-2008 period, while demand in the faster growing emerging markets will decelerate.
