Market Overview

Quartz is a naturally occurring mineral made up of silicon and oxygen atoms. Quartz is one of the most lavish and broadly dispersed minerals found on the surface of the earth. The chemical formula of quartz is SiO2, and it is held by the trigonal crystal system. Quartz is renowned for its robustness and resistance to weathering, making it a popular alternative in different industries, like construction, jewelry, and electronics. Quartz can be found in significant amounts in different rocks, such as sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. It comes in different colors, such as pink (rose quartz), purple (amethyst), and brown or black (smoky quartz), depending on impurities or exposure to radiation. Quartz also plays an important role in modern technology; for example, it is used in oscillators and promptitude devices due to its piezoelectric properties, which permit it to produce an electric charge under mechanical stress. Furthermore, quartz sand is a primary ingredient in the manufacturing of glass. Overall, quartz is a flexible mineral with multiple advantages, reflecting its importance in both the natural and industrial sectors. The strong demand in the construction area mainly drives the global market. As urbanization advances globally, the requirement for robust and durable construction materials increases accordingly. Additionally, the increasing trend of product miniaturization in consumer electronics is generating positive market growth.
