The North America quartz market is accounted to US$ 2,235.5 Mn in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2019 – 2027, to account to US$ 3,605.8 Mn by 2027.

Quartz is a mineral form of SiO2 stable at low temperatures and pressures. It is found in igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and hydrothermal mineral environments, mainly in continental regions. It is highly resistant to mechanical and chemical weathering, and the high durability makes it the dominant mineral of mountaintops and the primary constituent of river, beach, and desert sand. One of the major properties of quartz crystals is the ability to vibrate at a precise frequency. Due to its high precise frequencies, quartz crystals are used to make extremely accurate time-keeping instruments and equipment that can transmit radio and television signals with precise and stable frequencies.

Quartz products such as quartz sand is used in the production of container glass, specialty glass, flat plate glass, and fiberglass. High-purity quartz HPQ is used in the production of silicon wafers, which is key component on any semiconductor device. It is used for flooring and glass manufacturing. Quartz is also used as a crystal oscillator or piezoelectric cell in many electronics products. Thus, wide applications in various end-use industries have impacted the Quartz market in North America. However, the electronics industry is a major contributor to the growth of the North America Quartz market. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, the average American household spent $1,380 over the past year on consumer electronics (CE), such as HDTVs, cell phones, video game systems, computers, portable music devices, and Blu-ray players. Electronics-grade quartz is used in a large number of circuits for these products. In addition, there is a recent trend of combining the various functionalities of more than one product into a single product and reducing the size of the final product with ease of functionalities. This has brought the adoption of advanced technologies in the electronics industry, propelling the growth of electronics-grade manufactured quartz significantly. These factors further propel the growth of quartz market in North America.

Market Insights   

Wide range applications of quartz to favor the North America quartz market

Quartz finds usage in a wide range of applications in industries such as electronics and semiconductor, solar, buildings and construction, medical, and optics and telecommunications. Quartz is naturally available in different varieties, shapes, transparencies, and colors, which further increase its value and application. Different types of colored quartz are considered semi-precious gemstones, and they are often used in jewellery and stone carving. Amethyst, ametrine, citrine, and opal are precious or semi-precious gemstones that are widely used in jewellery for their color and durability. When quartz is ground up into quartz sands, it can be used in the production of fiberglass, and as an abrasive in sandblasting and stone-cutting. Pure quartz sand is extensively used in water purification systems. Small chips produced of quartz are used in watches, televisions, clocks, computers, and stereos as quartz when under pressure can produce an electric voltage that can control the frequencies of electric impulses. Additionally, quartz has higher melting point than most of the commercially available metals, thereby making it an ideal choice for molds and cores of common foundry work. Refractory bricks are produced from quartz sand because of its high heat resistance. Quartz sand is also used as a flux in the smelting of metals. Quartz sands are used for sandblasting, scouring cleansers, grinding media, and grit for sanding and sawing. Therefore, abundant availability and a wide range of applications of quartz are the key factors driving the quartz market in developed and developing countries.
