Fluorspar, also known as fluorite, is a white or colorless mineral with the chemical formula CaF2 that has a cubic structure and occasional fluorescence, often a tint owing to impurities trapped in it. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Fluorspar market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Fluorspar is an immediate source of Fluorine, and the inclining demand for Fluorspar in the Metallurgy industry for the processes like smelting of iron for producing steel, extraction of Aluminum its use as a flux because it melts quickly is expected to drive the Global Fluorspar market. In addition to this, Fluorspar is used for Hydrofluoric acid production, an essential chemical in the Chemical industry for the production of chemicals such as stain and rust cleaners, Pharmaceuticals, polymers, agrochemicals, and fluorocarbon chemicals, foam blowing agents, refrigerants, is estimated to drive the Global Fluorspar market. Further, the Automobile industry requires Fluorspar to produce Steel and Aluminum used in the construction of exterior and interior components of the vehicles, and the rise in the popularity of Electric vehicles escalated demand for lithium-ion batteries are projected to drive the Global Fluorspar market. However, environmental concerns about fluorocarbons, health hazards of the use of Fluorine compounds, stringent regulations related to mining activities and manufacturing processes of Fluorspar are expected to hinder the future market growth of Fluorspar.

Fluorspar is employed for the production of electrical and electronic devices, petrochemical catalyst, a non-stick cooking surface known as Teflon is made from Fluorine derived from Fluorspar, removal of impurities such as sulphur and phosphorus from metals, lens are manufactured for optical equipment such as microscopes, telescopes, and cameras.

Chemical Industry is the vital consumer of Fluorspar and is expected to drive the market. With continuous Research and Development, investments are made by multiple sectors in chemistry, the involvement of Hydrofluoric acid as a raw material in the manufacturing processes such as glass etching, metal cleaning, and the global market is bound to rise. This is primarily because of the versatility of Fluorspar-derived chemicals are applied for manufacturing products in various other industries such as computer chips and high-octane gasoline, and herbicides, refrigerants, electrical components, high-performance plastics, enamels, and coatings. According to Honeywell International, a Hydrofluoric acid manufacturer based in the USA accounted for an increase of 9% on a reported basis and up 8% on an organic basis in its sales in the third quarter of 2021. Further, with the establishing of Powerplants all around the globe, the demand for Uranium fuel as a highly efficient option for the production of Electricity is gaining pace.

Some of the market’s key players are Mongolrostsvetmet LLC, British Fluorspar Ltd., China Kings Resources Group. Co., Ltd., Seaforth Mineral & Ore Co., Inc., Minesra Group, Kenya Fluorspar Company Ltd., Masan Group, among others.

The Asia Pacific region is poised to be the leader in the production and the subsequent consumption of Fluorspar, with most of the consumption in countries like China and India. The region is swiftly emerging urbanization at its peak, and the government invests a large sum of money in infrastructure opaque glasses produced using Fluorspar find applications in offices, hospitals, and housing. Further, the region’s use of steel in the automotive industry for manufacturing hybrid and electrical automobiles, the need for lithium-ion batteries for energy storage in the medical sector, and Fluorspar-derived chemicals in electrical appliances have climbed the demand for Fluorspar in the region. China is the largest producer and exporter of Fluorspar globally, and rising downstream activities fuel Fluorspar’s use. The Fluorspar Market is bolstered by prime companies like China Kings Resources Group. Co., Ltd., Mongolrostsvetmet LLC, Minesra Group, and big Fluorspar producing plants are present in the region. Factors like these have made Asia-Pacific an essential region for growth in the Fluorspar market.

In December 2021, Commerce Resources Corp. announced a non-brokered private placement consisting of up to 10,700,000 ordinary shares issued on a “flow-through” basis.

In November 2021, Koura largest producer of Fluorspar in the world, part of the Orbia community of companies, signed a definitive agreement to acquire Silatronix, a specialist in organosilicon (OS) electrolytes, to complement its capabilities in energy storage deployment.
