Europe Quartz Market to 2027 - Regional Analysis and Forecasts by Product; End-User Industry, and Country

The European quartz market was valued at US$ 1,692.5 million in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ 2,972.7 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2019 to 2027. Quartz is a mineral form of SiO2 stable at low temperatures and pressures. It is found in igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and hydrothermal mineral environments, mainly in continental regions. It is highly resistant to mechanical and chemical weathering, and the high durability makes it the dominant mineral of mountain tops and the primary constituents of river, beach, and desert. One of the major properties of quartz crystals is the ability to vibrate at a precise frequency. Due to its high precise frequencies, quartz crystals are used in making extremely accurate time-keeping instruments and equipment that can transmit radio and television signals with precise and stable frequencies. Quartz sand is used in the production of container glass, specialty glass, flat plate glass, and fiberglass.

Based on product, the quartz market is segmented into quartz surface and tile, high-purity quartz, quartz glass, quartz crystal, quartz sand, and others. The quartz surface and tile segment held the largest share of the quartz market in 2018. Moreover, the high-purity quartz segment is projected to grow at a faster pace during the forecast period. Quartz surface and tile segment holds the dominant share in the Europe market as it is increasingly used for creating building surfaces. Quartz is used in the flooring application in various industrial, residential, and commercials sector as a cost-effective alternative to granite and marble. Quartz is mainly used in kitchen countertops and bathroom floors. Therefore, the rapid expansion of the construction sector in the developed and developing countries such as Germany, France, Italy, the UK, and Russia is projected to provide a huge market opportunity for quartz surface and tiles producers.

Based on country, the European quartz market is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and Rest of Europe. The rest of European countries hold the largest share in the European quartz market, which is followed by the UK. High resistance to heat and high electrical conductivity of quartz makes it a suitable mineral for various industrial sectors such as construction, semiconductor, electronics, energy, and power industries. The rising demands for high-end consumer electronics and electrical products coupled with the presence of semiconductor manufacturers in the European countries are propelling the growth of quartz market in the region.
