Global Bentonite Market 2025 | Bentonite Clay Uses, Applications & Benefits
                     The Silent Powerhouse: 
Global Bentonite 
MBentoanitre cklaye, oftten called “the clay with a thousand uses,” is a 
versatile material quietly shaping modern industries from 
construction to cosmetics.
This presentation explores the global bentonite market, its trends, 
opportunities, and its growing importance across multiple sectors.
What is Bentonite?
A Volcanic Wonder
Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay derived from volcanic 
ash. It primarily consists of the mineral montmorillonite.
High Swelling
Absorbs water and expands multiple times its size.
Sealing & Binding
Incredibly useful for sealing, binding, and absorption 
applications.

Bentonite in Agriculture and Health
The "Soil Doctor"
When mixed with sandy soil, bentonite prevents water from draining too 
quickly, improving water retention and nutrient availability. This promotes 
sustainable farming and enhances crop yields.
It is also used to create animal feed pellets for better nutrient absorption.
