Earlier Report Observations

The feldspar market in the Americas expanded to 1 752 thousand tons by 2019, supported by rising demand from the glass and ceramics industries, particularly in construction and automotive applications. Key players, including state-owned and private companies, expanded production capacities during this period. However, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in late 2019, leading to industrial slowdowns and a market contraction to 1 537 thousand tons in 2020 as glass and automotive sectors faced operational halts.

A recovery began in 2021, with market volume rising to 1 592 thousand tons as industrial activities resumed and consumer demand for ceramic tiles and automotive glass picked up. By 2022, strong growth in construction and ceramics manufacturing, coupled with increased potassium feldspar production in U.S. states like North Carolina and Oklahoma, drove the market to 1 895 thousand tons.

In subsequent years, investments in production capacity shaped the market. Imerys invested €30 million to expand feldspar output in Brazil by 20%, becoming South America's largest producer, while domestic mining players increased activity. Urbanization and infrastructure development continued to fuel demand, even as environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives gained influence over mining operations.
