Analisis pasar expanded perlite Indonesia

The availability of perlite is always associated with volcanic activities, so perlite has a huge potential in Indonesia. The use of perlite abroad has developed for various applications, but is still limited in Indonesia. One of the perlite development efforts in Indonesia is an analysis to seek market of the expanded perlite. The purpose of this market analysis is to find out the characteristics and opportunities of the expanded perlite market both domestically and export. Methods of data collection were carried out through direct survey and non-survey, while the processing model and technical analysis used descriptive statistical approaches, trend analysis, and economic analysis models. Expanded perlite is most widely used as a construction raw material, filler, and filter. Domestic market opportunities include insulation or heat in cryogenic tanks, cement in drilling, lightweight brick, mortar, refractory aggregate, plaster, and planting media. The results of this study are expected to be use as an input for the government and stakeholders in formulating their policies so that the potential of perlite can be developed on a prospective basis.
