Abstract
Total North American demand for minerals used as reinforcements, pigment extenders and fillers in a variety of end-use applications in 2002 exceeded 15 million tons, valued at $1.9 billion, according to a study by Principia Consulting. Paper applications dominate, accounting for roughly half of the tonnage consumed. However, plastics which was a minor market only a decade or so ago, has recently become the second leading end use, consuming an estimated 2 million tons of minerals in 2002 (excluding TiO 2), valued at roughly $500 million.
