Earlier Report Observations

The feldspar market volume in Northern America peaked at 550 thousand tons in 2018, supported by a rise in U.S. production from 470 thousand tons in 2016. Thereafter, the market contracted to 468.5 thousand tons in 2019, recovered to 499.8 thousand tons in 2020, declined again to 438.5 thousand tons in 2021, and saw a modest increase to 449.1 thousand tons in 2022.

Demand for feldspar was underpinned by robust developments in the U.S. residential and commercial construction sectors, as well as rising consumption in the solar energy industry for low-iron glass used in photovoltaic modules. Potassium feldspar remained the dominant segment due to its extensive use in ceramics, glass, and sanitaryware production.

Exports from the region grew from negligible levels in 2018 to 28.2 thousand tons in 2024, indicating strengthened international trade flows. Investment in high-purity feldspar extraction projects announced in 2024 aimed to meet growing demand for flux agents, while environmental regulations and digitalization in mining operations influenced production practices.
