Earlier Report Observations

The Russian feldspar market volume showed initial fluctuations, increasing from 1 479 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 1 507 thousand tonnes in 2019, then contracting to 1 436 thousand tonnes in 2020.

A strong expansion occurred in 2021, with market volume surging to 1 649 thousand tonnes. This growth was primarily driven by rising demand from the construction and automotive sectors, specifically for ceramic tile and glass production following a period of economic recovery. The upward trend continued into 2022, pushing the market to its peak of 1 671 thousand tonnes, sustained by robust consumption in these industries and readily available raw materials.

After reaching its high point, the market volume corrected downward to 1 540 thousand tonnes in 2023 and further to 1 519 thousand tonnes in 2024. Domestic production followed a similar pattern, rising to 1 148 thousand tonnes in 2023 before decreasing to 1 130 thousand tonnes in 2024 and an estimated 1 065 thousand tonnes in 2025.
