Global Barium Sulfate Procurement Market Report 2018 – Key Suppliers are Honeywell, Huntsman, Solvay, Nippon, and Sakai – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Global
Barium Sulfate – Procurement Market Intelligence Report" report
has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

One of the best procurement practices for buyers is to engage with
suppliers that adopt automation in the mining process as it minimizes
the risk of supply disruptions.

According to the report, one of the key growth contributors for the
global barium sulfate market is its extensive use in the paints and
coatings industry to modify the consistency of paints, especially paints
that are used in the construction and automotive industries. Further,
the report states that a major procurement challenge experienced by the
buyers is the difficulty faced while identifying suppliers that can meet
qualitative and quantitative requirements.

One of the emerging market trends is the introduction of a new barium
sulfate grade. Conventionally, barium sulfate with a specific gravity of
4.2 was used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids. Since 2010, the
American Petroleum Institute has issued an alternative grade of barium
sulfate of 4.1-specific gravity for use in drilling fluids as it meets
the chemical and sizing requirements for drilling activities in the oil
and gas industry. Additionally, the introduction of a new grade of
barium sulfate has also provided an additional option for buyers,
driving the growth of the market in terms of volume.
