Global Mullite Market Overview:
Mullite is a rare aluminium silicate mineral that forms when aluminosilicate raw materials are fired. It is a major component of ceramic whiteware, porcelains, and high-temperature insulating and refractory materials. Although mullite is a natural mineral, it is incredibly difficult to find it in nature. Synthetic mullites are made by melting or ‘calcining' alumino-silicates such kaolin, clays, and, less commonly, andalusite or fine silica and alumina to high temperatures. Physical properties of mullite include good creep resistance, low thermal expansion, good chemical stability, low thermal conductivity. The Asia Pacific is the largest market for mullite followed by North America.

Latest Market Insights:
On 1st Dec 2020, Imerys a leading player in the mullite market announced the acquisition of a majority stake of 60%, with options to purchase the remainder, of the Haznedar group, a Turkish-based, high-grade refractory monolithic and bricks manufacturer, serving the iron & steel, cement, and petrochemical industries. This business generated USD 64 million in revenue in 2019.
In May 2021, Topfibre Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Chase Mining Corporation, has completed a collaborative topaz research project with the University of New South Wales (UNSW), and the company has decided to seek a financial or commercial partner to advance its proof-of-concept outcomes with the best commercial application potential. Because single-crystal mullite is the most sought-after fibrous additive but is not commercially accessible, CML anticipates rapid interest from laboratories and firms that serve the aviation and military industries.
