Perlite market is expected to grow at a considerable rate during the forecast period 2019-2025. Perlite is a natural volcanic gas that inflates the particle around 20-30 times to its usual shape, in presence of heat at around 900°C. The water content within the raw perlite vaporizes and creates a glass bubble, which bids beneficial properties to perlite such as lightweight and good insulation. Perlite is available in two forms in the market that include crude perlite and expanded perlite. The expanded perlite is used in various applications such as wall insulation, lightweight insulating boards, and cryogenic insulation, among others. Moreover, it offers soil ventilation and drainage improvement properties in the agriculture sector.

Increasing adoption of perlite in the agriculture and horticulture industry, mainly in the production of tomato is significantly stimulating the growth of the global perlite market. There are various regulatory bodies that have provided safety certification to the companies for the use of perlite in food production, which includes the Environmental Management System and the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA).
