Global Cosmetic Kaolin Powder Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Cosmetic Kaolin Powder market size is expected to reach $ 305 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 5.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Kaolin clay is a natural clay that is used in skincare and cosmetic formulations to help draw out excess oil or sebum from the skin and to gently exfoliate. Kaolin clay is also used to help bulk out product, act as a mild preservative and improve the longevity of powdered cosmetics. The Cosmetic Kaolin Powder industry can be broken down into several segments, 4μm-2μm, 2μm-1μm, etc. Across the world, the major players cover Imerys S.A., Kamin LLC, BASF, etc.
Global key manufacturers of Cosmetic Kaolin Powder include Imerys S.A, KaMin LLC, Ashapura Group, BASF, Quarzwerke Gruppe etc. Those players hold a share of 40%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 40%, followed by North America and Europe, both have a share about 45 percent.
The main market drivers include the following:
Consumption upgrade and preference for natural ingredients
Consumers' demand for natural and organic skin care products has surged. Kaolin, as a natural mineral ingredient, has become the core raw material for products such as facial masks and cleansers due to its mildness, adsorption and non-irritation properties.
In high-end anti-aging products, the demand for modified kaolin materials has increased at an average annual rate of 21%, driving the market to extend to high value-added areas.
Technological progress and product innovation
Breakthroughs in the purification process of nano-scale kaolin have increased the unit price of products by 30%-40%. In 2027, domestic "ultra-fine activated kaolin" technology is expected to achieve import substitution and increase the penetration rate of domestic raw materials in the mid-to-high-end market.
The proportion of kaolin in medical beauty repair products is expected to increase from 6.3% in 2020 to 14.8% in 2025. Customized solutions such as 3D printed masks will further expand the market space.
Policies, regulations and industry integration
The revision of the "Safety Management Specifications for Cosmetic Raw Materials" has forced companies to upgrade their raw material traceability systems. 20% of small workshop-style companies are facing elimination, and the market share of leading companies is concentrated to more than 45%.
Stricter environmental protection policies have led to an increase in industry concentration.
Cross-border e-commerce and export growth
The export scale is expected to exceed 520 million yuan in 2025, and the average annual growth rate of imports in the Southeast Asian market (Malaysia and Thailand) will reach 18%-22%, becoming the main growth pole.
The explosion of cross-border e-commerce channels has promoted the internationalization of domestic kaolin powder, surpassing traditional offline channels.
Kaolin powder for cosmetics is a multifunctional and highly safe natural mineral raw material. Through strict quality control and modification technology, it is widely used in cleaning, makeup and skin care. Its core advantages are natural origin, strong adsorption and mildness, which meet the needs of modern consumers for "natural, safe and efficient" cosmetics.
