Application (Coatings, Polymers, Glass, Ceramic, Refractories)
The global feldspar and nepheline syenite market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into coatings and polymers, glass, ceramic, refractories, and others. Out of these, the glass segment is estimated to hold the largest market share by 2037. Glass is a transparent, non-crystalline, amorphous solid that has many uses in the packaging, construction, telecommunication, electronics, automotive, and transportation sectors. Owing to its capacity to refract, reflect, and transmit light, glass is largely utilized in lenses, windows, mirrors, and prisms. Further, the rising production and import-export of the glass are estimated to drive segment growth. It was found that in 2021, China exported glass and glassware of more than USD 23.80 billion. The increasing use of glass in the construction industry for windows, doors, ventilation, walls, and roofs improves the elegance of buildings.
Amongst these segments, the ceramic segment is expected to garner a significant share. The increasing use of ceramic in decorative items eating plates, bowls, and many household products is estimated to boost the market growth. As per the estimations, the consumption of ceramic tiles in 2021 in the United States was about 3 billion square feet of ceramic tile. The growing use of ceramic tiles, toilet seats, and other ceramic sanitary ware products such as wash basins, and bathtubs in both commercial and residential buildings. Also, the use of ceramics in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, beverages, food, and other sectors. The increasing number of laboratories, clinical institutions, and research and development institutions is also anticipated to boost market growth.
