Filtration-grade perlite segment is expected to account for a major market share in 2026
Filtration-grade perlite is expected to hold a major market share in 2026, primarily due to increasing demand for industrial filtration materials across food & beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and water treatment applications. Imerys strengthened its European perlite and diatomite portfolio through the acquisition of Chemviron’s European business assets from Calgon Carbon Corporation. The growing use of high-performance filtration minerals in industrial processing and life sciences applications is a key factor driving segment demand. Rising focus on efficient filtration systems, product purity, and industrial processing optimization is further supporting adoption of filtration-grade perlite materials across multiple industries.
Industrial minerals processing and perlite expansion segment is expected to witness significant growth in 2026
Industrial minerals processing and perlite expansion are expected to witness significant growth in 2026, driven by increasing investments in mining assets, mineral processing capabilities, and specialty filtration solutions. Imerys completed the acquisition of Chemviron’s European diatomite and perlite business in 2025, including mining and industrial assets located in France and Italy. The acquisition significantly strengthened the company’s industrial minerals and perlite processing capabilities across Europe. Growing demand for advanced mineral-based filtration products, industrial absorbents, and specialty materials is expected to accelerate market expansion. Increasing industrial applications of processed perlite in filtration, insulation, and industrial manufacturing are further contributing to segment growth.
