New York, Sept. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global feldspar and nepheline syenite market size is predicted to grow at a CAGR of over ~6% from 2023 to 2033. The market is projected to garner a revenue of USD 7 billion by the end of 2033, up from a revenue of ~USD 5 billion in the year 2022.The growth of the market can majorly be attributed to the increasing usage of the product as a flux agent in manufacturing glass and ceramic products, supported by the rising glass and ceramic industry across the globe. For instance, the Europe region manufactured around 40 million tons of glass and glass products in 2021, which is roughly 6% higher than the glass production volume in 2020, and in the same year, the ceramic industries in the region valued more than 29.5 billion and accounted for about 24.8% global ceramic production. Further, feldspar is a key ingredient in glass manufacturing by acting as a flux agent. It helps in lowering the melting point of quartz and thereby giving the required viscosity to the glass.

On the other hand, owing to unique nepheline syenite composition they are widely used in ceramic manufacturing by providing silica-free high alumina. In addition to this, the feldspar and nepheline syenite market is also predicted to gain lucrative growth opportunities over the forecast period on account of the rising usage of ceramic and glass in various end-use industries including paper, automotive, construction, paint, plastic, and rubber industries, supported by the expanding industrialization across the world. It was noted that in the last two decades, India's industrial production increased by an average of about 6 percent, hitting an all-time high of nearly 134 percent in April 2021.
Growing Construction Sector and Rising Urbanization to Boost Market Growth
The growth of the feldspar and nepheline syenite market can also be attributed to the growing construction sector and the increasing investment in construction industries by the various key players in the market and governments across the globe. Further, given the fact that glass and ceramic products are the major materials in any construction facility and feldspar and nepheline syenite are widely employed in producing glass and ceramic, the market is predicted to grow tremendously over the upcoming years. Moreover, the growth is backed by the rising construction of new buildings owing to increasing urbanization and old building restoration. It was found that in December 2021, there were reportedly 174,880 new construction units started in the USA, a 35% increase from the previous year, and nearly 175,390 new homes were finished in the same year, which is around 19% more than the last year. Additionally, when making ceramic tiles and sanitary items, including premium bathroom fixtures, urinals, and sink fittings, nepheline syenite is used as a fluxing agent as it’s a good source of alkalis and alumina, which help manage the temperature of ceramic wares. Therefore, the feldspar & nepheline syenite market is predicted to grow over the course of the forecast period, owing to rising demand for high-quality and cost-efficient sanitary ware items among the population. For instance, one of the market leaders in sanitary ware items, Roca Bathroom Products Pvt. Ltd., has announced a growth of more than 52% in their sales volume for the year 2021.
