    Global Talc Market: Production Rebounds, Consumption Patterns Change
    Mar 1, 2022

    Plastic Industry to Keep Afloat the Talc and Steatite Market Stroked by the Pandemic

    The global talc and steatite market was hit severely by the pandemic, with the volume of the global trade dropping twofold in May 2020 and failing to recover. The decreases in the printing paper and cosmetics industries challenge the talc market, being partially offset by rising demand from the plastics industry. China appears to be less severely hit by the pandemic than the rest of the world, which points out the Chinese downstream industries to buoy the expected slight growth of the global talc market.
