The growing demand for electronics, and semiconductors is expected to increase the demand for quartz primarily, across the world. As stated by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), the worldwide semiconductor market was valued at $468 billion in 2018. The semiconductor industry consumes quartz sand, quartz glass, crucibles, etc., for various applications. Quartz is used within the electronics industry for its high stable, high-performance resonators, and for further use in filters and oscillators.  There is a high demand for newer and ergonomic electronic products, due to the rapid pace of innovation, the advancement of technology, and R&D activities in the electronics industry. Quartz crystal is used to make frequency filters, oscillators, frequency controls, and timers in the electronic circuits for a wide range of products, such as communication equipment, computers, electronic games, and television receivers.

In 2019, silicon metal dominated the product type segment of the global quartz market by capturing the largest market share of around 60% with an estimated revenue of $xx million.  Silicon possesses various properties that make it ideal for semiconductor applications. The high-purity silicon metal is utilized in several end use industries. It is mainly used in the production of silicon compounds and silicon wafers. Aluminum manufacturers also use silicon metal as it improves hardness strength & castability. Silicon metal is also used as a secondary smelting additive, for the manufacturing of photonic devices and industrial refractories. Further, rising demand from aluminum & chemical applications, coupled with the rapidly evolving solar industry, as well as the demand from batteries and electronics, are expected to augment the silicon metal applications over the forecast period.

The environmental impact of quartz mining is the key factor restraining the growth of the market. The excessive inhaling of quartz or crystalline silica by any miner can result in silicosis, which is an irreversible disease in nature. Also, the water discharged after mining of quartz needs to be purified to some extent before discharging in water bodies. Due to this, the environmentalists are trying to pitch for stricter rules for quartz mining. For example, in North Carolina, environmentalists are trying to clean up a mountain river by putting pressure on the state. Further, discoloration in quartz tiles and slabs may lead to an additional cost to the overall unit/installation, and may not stand a chance against alternatives, such as natural stone, ceramic tile, or a laminate surface.

The report on the global quartz market includes segmentation analysis on the basis of product type and end user.

Market by Product Type:

  • High-purity Quartz

Geographically, the global quartz market has been segmented on the basis of four major regions, which includes:

  • North America: the United States and Canada
  • Europe: Russia, Belgium, Poland, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and the Rest of Europe
  • Asia-Pacific: Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia & New Zealand, and the Rest of Asia Pacific
  • Rest of World: Latin America, the Middle East & Africa

In 2019, Asia Pacific captured the largest market share of around 64%, and a revenue of approximately $xx million. The Asia Pacific market is driven by several factors, such as upsurge in the building & construction activities and accelerating use in the foundry industry. Quartz and quartz sand are used as necessary materials in ceramic and cement production. China, India, and various Southeast Asian countries have aided the Asia Pacific region in becoming the biggest construction and building market in the world. The real estate investment in the region, which includes investments in the residential and commercial sector, and office spaces has risen over the past few years.

Further, owing to the presence of a large number of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the region, the electronics manufacturing in the Asia Pacific is likely to grow swiftly over the next few years. The factors, such as cheap labor, coupled with low costs and the availability of raw materials, enable the companies in the region to offer the manufacturing and assembling services for companies in Germany, France, and the United States. The market in the Asia Pacific is expected to experience high growth, over the forecast period, due to such aforementioned factors.

Some of the leading players of the global quartz market are:

  • Nihon Dempa Kogyo Co Ltd
  • Jiangsu Pacific Quartz Co
  • Quartz Corporation
  • Sibelco
  • AGC Inc
  • Others

Key strategies adopted by some of the quartz companies are:

In January 2020, The Research Council of Norway awarded the funding & NOK 50 million in project support for six projects to Elkem. In October 2019, Midsummer, a Swedish company, entered into an agreement with RUSNANO Group for the development and distribution of Flexible Solar Panels manufactured in Russia and the EAEU. In September, 2019, AGC (Formely, Asahi Glass Co) decided to build a new production plant at AGC Automotive (Suzhou) Inc. In May 2019, SJL Partners, Wonik QnC, and KCC Corp., acquired Momentive Performance Materials, for about USD 3.1 billion.

Key findings of the global quartz market are:

  • The Asia Pacific region leads the market by capturing the largest market share of over 64% in 2019.
  • The development of bioactive glass is vital to the advancement of medical care, and it will benefit the market as high purity quartz is used as a raw material in bioglass.
  • Electronics and semiconductors dominate the end user segment of the market by capturing the largest market share in 2019.
  • The growing hydraulic fracking activities will offer numerous opportunities for the growth of the market.
