Baryte is a naturally occurring barium sulfate mineral, as well as a part of the baryte group. Baryte has a great range of colors along with varied crystal habits. It is mainly found in the form of crystals in sediments and sedimentary rocks. It is further found in concretions & vein fillings in limestone, dolostone, sand, and sandstones. Baryte is considered a very important industrial mineral and has a wide range of grades. The majority of baryte is utilized as a weighting agent for drilling muds in the oil & gas industry to repress pressure and prevent blowouts. Baryte is further used as a pigment in paints and as a weighted filler for cloth, rubber & paper. Since baryte is a primary ore of barium, it is utilized to make a wide variety of barium compounds, including chloride, carbonate, nitrate, and hydrate, among others, which can be utilized for ray shielding. Baryte has the ability to block X-ray and gamma-ray emissions and is further used in hospitals, power plants, and laboratories. Baryte compounds have been used in diagnostic medical tests where patients are made to drink a liquid containing barium powder to get an x-ray of the soft tissue of the esophagus. Since barium is opaque to X-rays and blocks their passage, an image of the esophagus is possible. In addition to that, a barium enema can be used to image the shape of the colon. The non-toxic property of baryte further makes it an ideal substitute for titanium dioxide in cosmetics. Moreover, baryte compounds containing nitrates are used in the manufacture of fireworks and ceramic glazes and baryte compound containing fluorides are used for infrared grades.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The barytes market has witnessed significant growth owing to factors such as wider application in oil & drilling, paints & coatings, pharmaceuticals, rubber & plastics, textiles, adhesives, and others. The increasing demand mainly for oil has lead to an increase in the drilling activities of oil along with the gas industry, which will be a major driving factor for the baryte market. The rapid economic growth in countries like Brazil, Russia, China, and India has to lead to an increase in infrastructure projects along with the increase in demand for automobiles, which is likely to have a positive impact on the barite industry. In addition to that, the booming construction industry is further expected to increase the demand for paints and coating, which will be another prime driving factor for the baryte industry. Moreover, growing demand in the construction industry owing to the rising surge for paints is another factor propelling the global market growth over the forecast horizon. Barite does not interfere in magnetic measurements taken during logging, drilling, or in separate drill hole logging owing to its non-magnetic property. However, regulations on the various raw material used to produce barytes may further hamper the growth of the barytes market. Nevertheless, with the steady growth in the chemical processing industry and automobile industry, there are opportunities for the market players to invest in this market.
