Quartz Global Market Report 2024

The quartz market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.01 billion in 2023 to $9.76 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth witnessed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of the electronics industry, urbanization and construction activities, industrial applications, utilization in healthcare and medical sectors, and demand from the aerospace and defense industries.

The quartz market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.48 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including a growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, evolving dynamics in the global supply chain, shifts in consumer preferences, increased demands in military and aerospace sectors, and ongoing expansion in healthcare and biotechnology.

The growth of the quartz market is anticipated to be propelled by an increase in demand for semiconductors. Quartz plates and discs play a crucial role in the semiconductor sector, particularly in the manufacturing of boats, pedestals, wafers, wafer carriers, and batch processing equipment. In the semiconductor industry, high-purity quartz is utilized for producing crucibles and quartz glass products such as windows, rods, and tubes. As per the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), a US-based semiconductor industry organization, global semiconductor sales reached $48.8 billion in October 2021, reflecting a 24.0% increase from $39.4 billion in October 2020 and a 1.1% rise from October 2021. Consequently, the surge in demand for semiconductors is a key driver for the growth of the quartz market.

The increasing demand for solar energy is expected to contribute to the growth of the quartz market. Quartz is integral in the solar energy sector, where it is utilized to convert solar energy into metallurgical-grade silicon through various chemical processes, including reduction with carbon and purification to produce high-purity silicon. In July 2023, the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based intergovernmental organization, reported that solar photovoltaics (PV) energy generation experienced a notable increase of 270 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2022, marking a 26% rise and reaching almost 1300 terawatt-hours (TWh). This underscores the growing demand for solar energy, driving the growth of the quartz market.

Major players in the quartz market are strategically introducing advanced solutions to enhance their competitiveness. One such innovation is the introduction of quartz collections, featuring a range of surfaces or countertops with innovative designs and colors, spanning from icy white tones to midnight black tones. A notable example is Akrilika Holding Company, a Russia-based manufacturer of solid surfaces and quartz, which launched Alfa Quartz in May 2023. Alfa Quartz is a premium material that blends natural elements with durability and innovative design, offering a palette of the first 10 colors. These surfaces are characterized by being non-porous, scratch-resistant, and do not require sealing, making them low-maintenance and durable.

Major companies in the quartz market are emphasizing the introduction of white quartz products to gain a competitive advantage. White quartz products, engineered quartz countertops made of natural ground quartz and resin, are in focus. An instance of this is the launch of KalingaStone Quartz products by Classic Marble Company, an Indian-based marble company, in October 2023. This product line comprises seven white quartz variations with tones of grey, brown, and black veins, including Calacatta Lazza, Calacatta Pristine, Calacatta Venezia, Calacatta Nero, Crystal Bliss, Crystal Serene, and Calacatta Rivolo. Engineered for strength, hardness, hygiene, non-porosity, and resistance to stains and wear, these products reflect a commitment to innovation.

In March 2022, Sibelco, a Belgium-based mining company, made an undisclosed acquisition of Kremer Zand en Grind. This strategic move aligns with Sibelco's 2025 strategy, aiming to become the world leader in silica sand. The acquisition expands Sibelco's client base and enhances its deposits and reserves of silica sand in Western Europe. Kremer Zand en Grind (KZG), a Dutch producer of wet, dried, and calibrated silica sand and gravel, adds to Sibelco's capabilities in the silica sand market.
