The bentonite market is estimated to witness lucrative growth by 2027 owing to surging product demand across varied applications. Additionally, increasing research efforts surrounding the usage of bentonite are projected to further contribute to market growth over the forecast period.

After the COVID-19 outbreak, research findings suggested that bentonite could be an efficient dermal sanitizer that is gentler on the skin than alcohol-based products, which has positively impacted business outlook. Recent studies have found that repeated hand cleansing with bentonite paste could provide complete protection from any viruses, and also improve the skin condition. Thus, the product could potentially be useful in contact isolation and as an effective infection control tool in public and hospital settings.
