Global Dolomite Market: Growth Drivers
Global Dolomite Market: Restraints
High-grade phosphate reserves have begun to diminish worldwide, and consequently, low-grade phosphate rock is now being explored as a potential fertilizer. Low-grade fertilizer is becoming popular in the agriculture sector because of its cost-effectiveness and high availability, which is hampering the dolomite demand in the fertilizer industry. Another constraint to the dolomite market is that it must be activated during the fertilizer manufacturing process, which increases the amount of phosphorous and activates some heavy metals. Metals such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn are active during the activation process. Impurities present in dolomite fertilizers such as lead (Pb) and arsenic cause several problems for humans after the consumption of arsenic- and lead-rich foods. Long-term exposure to arsenic from drinking water and food can cause cancer and skin lesions. It has also been associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Short-term exposure to lead causes vomiting, diarrhea, headache, stomach ache, and fatigue. Long-term side effects could be learning disabilities, hyperactive disorder, and several neurological disorders. Such side effects could be the major restraints for the dolomite market.

Market Trends
Covid-19 Impact
Dolomite is used as a raw material for various industries such as glass, ceramic, cement, ferroalloys, and fertilizers. A major part of dolomite comes from the mining industry; however, the Covid-19 pandemic has led to the collapse of production lines of mining companies. The pandemic also affected the construction industry worldwide. Other industries such as cement and fertilizers also faced downward growth. The glass and ceramic industries are the two main end users of dolomite, which contribute to the construction sector. The slowdown in the construction and cement industry during the pandemic affected the global dolomite market growth.

*Definition: Dolomite is a type of limestone, a type of sedimentary rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite. Calcium magnesium carbonate along with calcite and aragonite dolomite makes up approximately 2% of the earth’s crust. Dolomite crystals are colorless, white, buff-colored, pinkish, or bluish. Granular dolomite is a light to dark gray, tan, or white granular dolomite found in rocks. Dolomite crystals are translucent or nearly opaque, whereas dolomite grains in rocks are translucent or nearly opaque. Dolomite occurs widely as the major constituent of dolostone and dolomite marble. Dolomite-rich rocks in marine sequences originate from petrogenesis (formation of rocks, ingenious rocks). Dolomite is used to make refractory bricks because it contains magnesium metal and magnesia (MgO). Dolostone is often used for limestone in cement and bitumen mixes, as well as a flux in blast furnaces.
