The global feldspar market size is expected to reach USD 1.10 Billion in 2028 and register a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. Market growth is majorly driven by rapidly increasing demand for ceramic tiles globally, increasing usage of feldspar in the glass industry, and rising investments in construction and renovation of commercial and residential buildings. Feldspar demand has substantially increased over the recent past owing to increasing number of new players in the industry, rapid expansion of production facilities, and rising production of vehicles in the automotive industry globally. Rising demand for glass and ceramic from various industries is another key factor driving revenue growth of the feldspar market.
High demand for ceramics and tiles has been observed from construction and building sectors. Fast-paced urbanization and rising number of construction projects have increased demand for ceramic tiles and sanitary ware for usage in commercial and residential infrastructure. Feldspars play a pivotal role as fluxing agents in ceramics and glass and are also used as functional fillers in plastic, adhesive, paint, and rubber industries. Increasing demand for glass and ceramic materials and increasing use of feldspars as functional fillers are some other key factors driving market growth.
Various chemical compounds and minerals such as sodium oxide, alumina, and potassium oxide are present in feldspar and this has been boosting their importance and application in the glass and ceramics industry. Ceramic tiles are majorly used for ensuring enhanced levels of hygiene at healthcare facilities. This is expected to drive revenue growth of market going ahead.
