Wollastonite Production by Country

Wollastonite production by country measures how much wollastonite each country produces, expressed in metric tons. Wollastonite is a calcium silicate mineral used in ceramics, plastics, paints, and construction materials. The statistics are based on USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026. The table below lists 4 countries with 2024 and 2025 data available for all of them. The United States figures are withheld to avoid disclosing company proprietary data, and the source reports the World total as rounded.

Among the 4 countries with available 2025 data, China accounted for about 71 percent of the reported production values, and China and India together accounted for about 85 percent. Only China produced more than 200,000 metric tons in 2025.

Wollastonite Production Around the World

In Asia, China (600,000 metric tons) is the dominant producer, ahead of India (120,000). In the Americas, Mexico (100,000) and Canada (30,000) are the listed producers, while the United States figures are withheld. In Europe and Africa, no producers are listed.

Wollastonite Production Structure

Wollastonite production is dominated by China, which alone accounts for 71 percent of the reported total, while the next two producers, India and Mexico, together contribute about 37 percent of China's figure. This is a small, concentrated dataset, with only 4 listed countries and no producer outside the China-India-Mexico-Canada group.

Largest Changes in Wollastonite Production, 2024–2025

Canada recorded the largest percentage increase, rising from 20,000 metric tons in 2024 to 30,000 in 2025 (up 10,000, a 50 percent rise), the largest percentage move of the period. India rose from 115,000 to 120,000 (up 5,000). Mexico recorded the largest absolute decline, falling from 112,000 to 100,000 (down 12,000). China held 600,000 metric tons, unchanged.

Total reported production among the 4 listed countries rose from 847,000 metric tons in 2024 to 850,000 in 2025, an increase of 3,000 metric tons, or about 0.4 percent. North American changes offset each other partially: Canada's rise of 10,000 nearly offset Mexico's decline of 12,000, and India's increase of 5,000 accounts for the net change.

Methodology

The statistics are based on USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, with major processing by Our World in Data. Values refer to wollastonite production, in metric tons, as mine production. 2025 figures are estimates from the source. The United States figures are withheld to avoid disclosing company proprietary data. The source reports the World total as rounded and it is not shown in the table.
