Scope of the Report

The global Food Grade Bentonite market size is predicted to grow from US$ 84.84 million in 2025 to US$ 133 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2026 to 2032.

Bentonite is a clay mineral with montmorillonite as the main component. The clay has good cohesiveness, swelling, adsorption, plasticity, dispersibility, lubricity, and cation exchange. After being exchanged with other bases and lithium bases, it has quite strong suspensibility, and has excellent decolorization after acidification. Therefore, it can be made into various suspending agents, adsorbents, decolorizing agents, and purifying agents, which are widely used in the food industry.

US is the largest producer of food grade bentonite. Key players in US include Minerals Technologies (Amcol) and Bentonite Performance Minerals LLC (BPM). Minerals Technologies (Amcol) is the largest manufacturer of Bentonite and the food grade bentonite in the world.In the food grade bentonite, this company has a share about nearly 30 % of global market. Other key players include Clariant, Bentonite Performance Minerals LLC (BPM), Bentonite Company LLC, Laviosa Minerals SpA, Wyo-Ben Inc, Xinjiang Nonmetallic Minerals Xiazijie Bentonite. China is also an important player, with several small companies in this industry. Chinese players hold a share about 10% of all food grade bentonite market.

Europe is the largest consumer of food grade bentonite, with a share about 35%, followed by Asia-Pacific and North America, with 33% 19 % share, respectively.

The key applications of food grade bentonite are wine and juice clarification agent, edible oil purification agent, food desiccant and other applications, Other areas include white vinegar, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, etc. The share of food-grade bentonite as a wine and juice clarifier has a share over 60 percent in 2019.
