The global activated bleaching earth market size is expected to reach USD 3.61 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.7% from 2025 to 2030, as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is majorly driven by the rising demand for edible oils due to the growing population across the globe. The product demand is also affected by the recently growing demand for biodiesels. Activated bleaching is a well-known absorbent, which has bleaching and filtering properties. It is widely used for the refining of edible oils, such as vegetable & seed oils, and animal-based oils, such as fish oils. The product refines, purifies, and decolorizes the oil making it suitable for human consumption.
Major applications of the product include refining and decolorizing vegetable & mineral oils, and animal fats. It is also used for the removal of phospholipids, phospholipids, tars acid, sludge, sulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, free fatty acids, and bits of the toxic metal. Apart from these uses, it is also utilized as an absorbent in sewage plants and as a component in cosmetic goods. The largest and fastest-growing market for activated bleaching earth is estimated to be Asia Pacific. This is due to the high population. Asia Pacific is the largest producer as well as a consumer; wherein the region has the presence of numerous players owing to the easy availability of bentonite, a fundamental component for the production of activated bleaching clay.
