Mongolia possesses vast untapped mineral reserves, yet the local industry has traditionally focused on raw ore export. In recent years, there has been a strategic shift toward value-added processing, particularly for minerals used in skincare, where kaolin clay in skincare is seeing increased demand due to the rise of local organic beauty brands.
The extreme temperature fluctuations in the Mongolian plateau demand materials with high thermal stability. This has led to a surge in the application of specialized silicates, as the region recognizes that diatomaceous earth is silica based, providing essential insulation and filtration properties for the mining and beverage industries.
Despite the availability of raw materials, the lack of advanced purification technology remains a bottleneck. The market is currently transitioning from crude mining to precision manufacturing, focusing on the chemical purity of kaolin clay for skin whitening to compete with international imports in the Asian market.
