Layered Double Hydroxide Market by Type (Mg-Al, Zn-Al, Ca-Al), Application (Catalysts & Precursors, Additives, Absorbent, Water Treatment), End-Use (Chemicals, Electronics, Construction, Agriculture), Grade, Form, and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

The global layered double hydroxide market is projected to grow from USD 0.81 billion in 2025 to USD 1.22 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. The market is experiencing strong growth due to its widespread use in various sectors, including construction, pharmaceuticals, polymers, water treatment, and other sectors. There is a growing need for flame retardants, catalysts, and adsorbents. Furthermore, environmental regulations and the global shift toward sustainable materials are driving the adoption of LDH.

“Electronics segment, by end-use, is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period in terms of value.”

The electronics segment is projected to hold the second-largest share in the layered double hydroxide market by value during the forecast period, primarily driven by their exceptional performance in advanced energy storage applications. Due to their highly tunable composition, unique layered structure, and excellent electrochemical properties, layered double hydroxides are being adopted as high-performance electrode materials in next-generation supercapacitors and batteries, offering improved energy density and cycling stability, which are crucial for compact electronic devices.

“By application, the catalysts & precursors segment accounted for the second largest share during the forecast period in terms of value.”

The catalysts & precursors segment is anticipated to hold the second-largest share in terms of value in the layered double hydroxide market during the forecast period, due to their tunable composition, high surface area, and exceptional anion-exchange properties, which make them highly effective as both catalysts and catalyst supports. Their layered structure enables the controlled incorporation of active metals, resulting in superior performance in oxidation, hydrogenation, and polymerization reactions. LDHs are also increasingly valued as green precursors for mixed metal oxides, supporting sustainable and energy-efficient chemical processes. With rising demand for clean technologies, renewable energy solutions, and industrial catalysts, LDHs are becoming an indispensable material in the catalysts and precursors segment.

“By grade, the rubber segment accounted for the second largest share during the forecast period in terms of value.”

The portable device segment is anticipated to hold the second-largest share in terms of value in the layered double hydroxide market during the forecast period, as it serves as a stabilizer, flame retardant, and reinforcing filler in synthetic and natural rubber formulations. Their ability to neutralize acidic residues, improve thermal stability, and enhance mechanical properties makes them highly effective in applications such as automotive components, industrial rubber goods, and footwear. The rubber-grade LDHs are a key contributor to market expansion, particularly in sectors that emphasize sustainability and performance.

“The North America region is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period in terms of value.”

The North America region is estimated to account for the second-largest share in terms of value in the layered double hydroxide market during the forecast period, driven by advancements in infrastructure, industrial modernization, and the increasing push for sustainable materials. In the US, demand is accelerating due to the rapid expansion of electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing, stringent environmental regulations for water treatment, and the rising use of flame-retardant additives in construction. Canada’s market is supported by large-scale investments in the power sector and the growing need for efficient wastewater treatment. At the same time, Mexico benefits from agricultural modernization, sustainable fertilizer demand, and construction activities. Collectively, these factors are positioning North America as a key growth hub for the market.
