The construction industry plays a major role in the economic growth of Europe. The construction industry in Europe has been growing significantly for the last decade. Rise in demand for smart infrastructure and increase in infrastructure expenditure in developed countries, such as Germany and the U.K., are key factors driving the construction industry in Europe. Thus, increase in expenditure to improve residential, commercial, and industrial infrastructure, and energy conservation initiatives are expected to fuel the civil engineering industry during the forecast period.
Bentonite, perlite, feldspar, calcium carbonate, and kaolin are key raw materials utilized in construction. These have the ability to provide strength and resistance, primarily in excavation and foundation works. Performance minerals additives are utilized in architectural paints and coatings. Performance minerals additives provide an excellent durable coating that can resist UV rays from the sun and maintain a newly painted look for a significant time. These additives are used in paints and coatings meant for exterior surfaces for better color fading, chalking, and cracking resistance.
Performance minerals additives are also employed as an aggregate, concrete, plaster, chimney fills, fireproofing sprays, acoustical sprays, and interstitial floors. The booming construction industry, including both residential and non-residential infrastructure, across Europe is one of the major factors boosting the demand for performance minerals additives.
In terms of end-use, the automotive end-use segment is estimated to dominate the performance minerals additives market in Europe during the forecast period.
Based on type, the titanium dioxide type segment dominated the performance minerals additives market in Europe in 2021. This can be primarily ascribed to the increase in demand for titanium dioxide in paints, adhesives, papers, and cosmetics & various other applications. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a chemically inert and low-risk substance that is utilized for various purposes. Titanium dioxide powder is extensively utilized in diverse products including paints, adhesives, papers, and cosmetics, due to their ability to impart whiteness and opacity.
Titanium dioxide has good light scattering qualities and a high refractive index, implying that just a small amount of the pigment is needed for an opaque or white coating. This is boosting its usage in a wide range of technological products.
The Feldspar mineral segment is estimated to grow at a steady pace during the forecast period. The segment is likely to grow due to its use in the glass industry and to some extent, as a filler and extender in paint, plastics, and rubber.
The quartz type segment is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period, as quartz is widely used in the field of ceramics and in the manufacture of glass. The demand for pottery is considerably high in developing nations, owing to the growing population coupled with higher spending limit.

Moreover, the rubber segment offers significant opportunities for the performance minerals additives market.
Ceramics application of performance minerals additives is employed in limited uses. Therefore, the ceramics application segment is likely to grow at a steady pace during the forecast period.
Bentonite, kaolin, feldspar, talc, calcium carbonate, perlite, etc., are used in cosmetics and personal care products such as face packs, scrubs, and soaps. Minerals in these products act as rheology modifiers, suspending agents, emulsion stabilizers, and absorbents. These minerals are usually employed as absorbent powders in cosmetics, owing to their ability to absorb moisture and sweat. Furthermore, they improve viscosity and are largely utilized in cosmetic products such as masks, sunscreen lotions, foundations, bar soaps, and lotions.
The usage of minerals in the cosmetics & personal care industry has been rising. Consequently, demand for additives required to enhance the performance of these minerals is also increasing. This is boosting the performance additives market. Rise in demand for natural healthcare products and an increase in awareness about the absorptive properties of performance minerals additives is projected to increase the demand for personal care & health products.
The home care & personal care products industry in Europe is growing at a CAGR of more than 2.7%, owing to changing lifestyle, increase in disposable income of consumers, and rise in awareness about skin care products. Thus, growth of the cosmetics & personal care industry is anticipated to augment the performance minerals additives market during the forecast period.
Several waste products are released during the production of performance minerals additives; therefore, several restrictions have been enacted by governments across Europe to control the emission and ensure careful disposal of this waste.
Regulatory authorities across the regions have started monitoring the industry very closely. An extensive regulatory system has been developed to govern current mining operations in Europe in order to minimize the adverse impact on the environment. These restrictions are indirectly hampering the performance minerals additives market.
Government-approved permits are required for all new and ongoing mining operations, including exploration activities. This process ensures that environmental standards are maintained from the beginning to the end of mining and metal production operations. New mine developments are presently required to have operation and closure plans that define how a specific site would be reclaimed upon cessation of mining. This attention to the full life-cycle of a mining site prevents negative environmental impact. The subsequent impact of restrictions is expected to hamper the performance minerals additives market in Europe during the forecast period.
