Talc mining involves extracting talc, a mineral with various properties such as fragrance retention, luster, purity, softness, and whiteness.
The primary types of talc are talc chlorite, talc carbonate, and other variations of talc. Talc chlorite is a hydrated magnesium sheet silicate with the chemical formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. The fundamental sheet structure comprises a layer of magnesium-oxygen/hydroxyl octahedra situated between two layers of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra. Talc deposits can be categorized into talc carbonate and talc chlorite. End-users of talc span various industries, including plastics, pulp and paper, ceramics, paints and coatings, cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, food, and other sectors. The mining methods for talc extraction encompass both underground mining and surface mining.

The talc market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.57 billion in 2023 to $10.52 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the growth in the cosmetics and personal care industry, manufacturing of plastics and polymers, activities in the paper and pulp industry, applications in ceramics and paints, and utilization in the pharmaceutical sector.
The talc market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.91 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand in the cosmetics industry, rising requirements in plastics and polymers manufacturing, the growing paper and pulp industry, expanding applications in ceramics and paints, and innovations in the pharmaceutical sector. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period include a heightened focus on talc in the paper and pulp industry, increased utilization of talc in ceramics and refractories, the application of talc in agriculture for crop protection, a shift towards talc alternatives in cosmetics, and a global emphasis on regulatory compliance in talc products.
The talc market is experiencing growth due to increased sales in rapidly developing countries such as China and India, attributed to the rising disposable income and greater availability of credit. According to the Bureau of Statistics of China, Disposable Personal Income in China reached 47,412 CNY in 2021, indicating a notable increase. Consequently, the upsurge in disposable income is a key driver of the talc market.
Anticipated growth in the pharmaceutical industry is poised to further propel the talc market. The pharmaceutical industry, engaged in the discovery, development, production, and commercialization of drugs and medications, utilizes talc to reduce friction between powder particles during tablet compression. This facilitates the flow of powder particles, ensuring consistent tablet formation and preventing issues such as sticking or capping. In October 2022, Statistics Canada reported a 2.8% increase in sales within the personal and household goods subsector, primarily driven by a 3.9% growth in the pharmaceuticals and pharmacy supplies industry, reaching $6.4 billion. This marked the highest level since January 2022. Hence, the growing pharmaceutical industry is a significant factor driving the talc market.
