K-Feldspar or Potassium feldspar is a naturally occurring mineral compound and a significant component of many felsic igneous rocks used as decorative building stones. However, K-Feldspar finds its larger application as aggregate in concrete & asphalt, in the manufacture of glass, and enamel & scouring powder. Also, a bi-product of K-Feldspar ‘microcline’ is extensively used in the production of ceramics & ceramic glazes.
Microcline is used to form a wide range of ceramic & porcelain products, including fine pottery & dinnerware, sinks, bathtubs, electrical insulators, and floor tiles. In addition, some varieties of K-Feldspar have significant value as gemstones, such as a glassy sanidine crystal known as moonstone and a variety of microcline Amazonstone that is used as jewelry or as ornamental stones.
Middle-Eastern populaces are always known for their fascination for gemstones. Due to its diverse & important application areas, such as the building & construction industry and ceramic & porcelain products, K-Feldspar garners a colossal market prominence throughout the year. Moreover, the prominent end-use of K-feldspar such as the glass industry and enamel & frits support its market growth to an extent.
According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the Middle East K-Feldspar Market Growth is projected to create a valuation of over USD 191 MN by the end of 2022. In its recent study report, MRFR also asserts that the market is estimated to register a 4.2% CAGR throughout the forecast period (2023-2030). Similarly, in terms of volume, the Middle East potassium feldspar market is estimated to witness approximately 1069.9 ‘000 tonnes of production of K- feldspar, with a CAGR of 3.9% over the forecast period.
The augmenting demand and consumption of K-Feldspar is a key driving force behind the growth of the market. The increasing consumption of K-Feldspar in construction applications and growth in the automotive sector & automotive glass manufacturing, drive market growth significantly. Also, rising demand for K-feldspar from abrasives & electrode manufacturers, ceramic industry, dentistry, and other industrial manufacturing fosters the ME K-Feldspar Market.
Construction and automotive glass manufacturing are the largest end-user industries of K-feldspar. Resultantly, the recent spurting growth, especially in automotive production, has spurred the market demand. Furthermore, the increase in the industrial manufacturing sector offers lucrative growth opportunities.
On the other hand, the presence of alternatives substrates, which have similar strength and other physical properties as K-feldspar, is estimated to obstruct the market growth during the review period. Also, the relatively higher production cost is a key factor limiting the growth of the ME K-feldspar market.
