Attapulgite finds application in oil and gas industries, as cat litter absorbent, in agriculture, in paints and coatings, in the pharmaceutical and medical field, and others including paper, chemicals, and cosmetics. The largest end-use industries were oil and gas and cat litter absorbent and together, these segments held more than 60.0% of the attapulgite market volume in 2013. The cat litter absorbent segment is driven by the need and the development of innovative absorbents that neutralize bad odor, are environment-friendly, and congeal quickly after soiling. The oil and gas industry is projected to witness the highest CAGR by 2020 owing to rise in drilling activities across the globe. While the pharmaceutical and medical segment is fueled by growing consumer preference for natural products over synthetic variants, the paints and coatings segment is propelled by the replacement of conventional organic thickeners with attapulgite in the production of water-insensitive films.
