Dolomite Market size was worth over USD 1.7 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow significantly at 6.7% CAGR from 2023 to 2032 driven by the increasing steel production globally.
Dolomite is a critical fluxing agent used in steelmaking that helps remove impurities and enhances the quality of steel. The surging demand for steel across various industries, such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing is driving the need for dolomite to cater to the rising flux demand. The rapid industrialization and infrastructure development in several emerging economies has further bolstered steel production, driving the need for dolomite. For instance, the World Steel Association reported that the world's crude steel production reached 1.87 billion tons in 2022.
