Fluorspar Market Analysis
The Fluorspar Market size is estimated at 7.96 Million tons in 2024, and is expected to reach 9.01 Million tons by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 2.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in prolonged lockdowns and strict social distancing norms. It also led to supply chain disruptions and a lack of labor, which greatly affected mining operations all over the globe. Additionally, a slump in steel demand further hampered fluorspar demand during this period.
- With the manufacturing and services sectors slowly resuming pre-pandemic activity levels, the chemical industry is expected to recover steadily. The demand for fluorspar is anticipated to be driven by the growing demand for fluorspar-extracted chemicals. This demand is expected to be further strengthened with the recovery of the steel industry and rising steel production.
- However, the negative impacts of mining activities on the environment have led to stringent regulations being imposed on the extraction of chemicals like fluorspar, which could potentially hinder the market's growth.
- On the flip side, the impending global shift to electric vehicles is expected to create long-term demand for lithium-ion batteries, augmenting demand for fluorspar-made fluoropolymers, which have been increasingly used in these types of batteries.
- With a lot of growth in the chemical industry and more steel being made, the Asia-Pacific region is likely to be the biggest fluorspar market in the world.
