Inflated Demand from Steel Industry to Foster Growth
The surging steel and iron industry is expected to spur business opportunities for the market during the forecast period. Dolomite is used as a slag flux in the production of steel to remove impurities. Dolomite powder is also used in refractory linings of open-hearth steel furnaces. The increasing demand for dolomite in mini-steel plants for fettling and refractory applications will have an excellent effect on the market. The rising production and consumption of steel is expected to enable speedy expansion of the market. As per the World Steel Association, 98% of the raw materials used to make crude steel are converted to products and by-products. The steel industry’s goal is zero waste. The rising emphasis on steel recycling is likely to generate sales openings for the market. Nonetheless, the increasing construction projects will simultaneously increase the demand for steel, which, in turn, will bode well for the market.
Dolomite powder is an anhydrous carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate. It finds extensive applications in steelmaking, cement production, agriculture, ceramics, glass, rubber, and mining. According to the World Steel Association, global steel production rose from 1,657.9 million tons in 2018 to 1,681.2 million tons in 2019. This steady increase in steel output is a major factor driving the demand for dolomite powder.
Additionally, dolomite is widely used as a substitute for limestone in processes requiring both calcium and magnesium minerals. With its broad utility across multiple industries, the demand for dolomite powder is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

Break on Construction Activities to Dampen Market During Coronavirus
The strict regulations concerning the export and import of raw material during the pandemic will dwindle the growth of the market. Moreover, the slowdown of the construction and cement industry will indirectly hamper the demand for dolomite. The lack of distribution from major steel manufacturing countries will subsequently restrict the expansion of the market. For instance, decreased production and export from the major producer of steel, china will have a horrendous effect on the market amid coronavirus
