Feldspar Mining Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029

Feldspar mining market is estimated to attain US$4.733 billion by 2029, from US$3.419 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 7.28%.

Feldspar can be defined as a type of aluminosilicate mineral that contains different levels of potassium, sodium, and calcium. It is among the most abundant minerals found on Earth and constitutes about 60% of the Earth's crust. Feldspar is an important source of alumina, used mostly in the glass and ceramics industries. It is also used as a mineral filler in sealants, adhesives, paints, and plastics. In ceramics manufacturing, feldspar acts as a flux, which provides the reflective property of the chinaware and ceramic tiles.

One of the major factors for the global feldspar mining market growth is expected to be the increase in the demand for glass and its products across multiple industries worldwide. Glass is among the most common and key components of multiple industries, including automotive, architectural, and furniture. The growth of these industries in the global market is expected to push the global demand for glass, eventually propelling the feldspar market. The All India Glass Manufacturers' Federation, in its report, stated that the architectural sector offers the biggest use of float glass in the global glass industry, accounting for about 45%, followed by furniture, automotive, and value-added products, accounting for 15% each.

Market Drivers

The increase in production of the automotive industry.

In the automotive industry, glass plays an important role in the operations of any vehicle. Glass is used across multiple components of an automobile, such as the windscreen, windows, sunroof, and mirrors, among others. The growth in the global production of the automotive industry is forecasted to boost the market for feldspar mining.

The global production of automobiles witnessed massive growth in the past few years, especially in the Asia Pacific region. The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, or OICA, in its global production report, stated that in 2023, the production of automobiles worldwide was recorded at 93.546 million. The production of automobiles globally increased significantly from about 80.004 million units produced in 2021 to about 84.830 million units produced in 2022. The agency further stated that in 2023, about 55.115 million units of automotive were produced in the Asia Oceania region, which was previously recorded at 50.021 million units in 2022. Similarly, a total of 17.753 million units of automotive were produced in the American region in 2022, which increased to 19.136 million units in 2023.

Feldspar Mining Market - Geographical Outlook

Asia Pacific is forecasted to hold a major share of the Feldspar Mining Market.

The Asia Pacific region is estimated to attain a major share in the global feldspar mining market with the increase in the glass and ceramic manufacturing sector. This region is among the biggest producers of glass and ceramic tiles globally. Countries like India, China, Thailand, and South Korea are among the biggest producers of feldspar in the global market. The U.S. Geological Survey, in its report, stated that in 2023, China produced about 2.50 million metric tons of feldspar.

In contrast, India produced about 450 thousand metric tons, and South Korea produced about 900 thousand metric tons of this mineral. Similarly, the Asia Pacific region is among the biggest producers of automobiles, in which glass plays a critical role in its operations. The increasing production of automobiles in the region will push the need for various types of glass, which are produced using feldspar.
