Key Takeaways:
On the basis of region, Asia Pacific dominates the synthetic zeolite market due to rising disposable income and constantly expanding economies.
The detergent segment dominated the global synthetic zeolite market in 2025, accounting for 47% share in terms of value, followed by the adsorbents and catalysts segments, respectively.
Market Trends
Research and development for developing production processes
One of the current trends is the expansion of R&D programs for the development of a new production method for synthetic zeolite production. For example, in 2025, University of Manchester researchers developed a novel method for the production of zeolites using novel templates. This method was demonstrated to be capable of producing zeolites with structurally more complex structures than conventional methods.
Rapid research and development in synthetic zeolite by chemical manufacturer
The increasing focus of chemical manufacturers to develop high-grade zeolites for the catalysts and adsorbents applications is one of the current trends in the market. For instance, in 2025, Honeywell International announced that it would be expanding its production of High-silica Zeolite (HSZ) by 50%. HSZ is a synthetic zeolite and is used as a catalyst in petroleum refining and petrochemicals production, as well as an adsorption material for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Global Synthetic Zeolite Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Covid-19 led to a global decrease in the market value of synthetic zeolite. However, in few industries, a growth was observed during the pandemic. One of the few industries that experienced a growth during the pandemic was the construction industry. This was because of the use of synthetic zeolites in the production of lightweight concrete. For instance, in 2025, synthetic zeolite demand in the construction industry grew by 5%. In China and the United States, the growth was 10% and 3%, respectively, in 2025.
