Developing Products to Suit Price-Sensitivity of Developing Economies Creates New Opportunity for Fluorspar Market, Says TMR

The leading players – China Kings Resources Group Co., Ltd, Mexichem S.A.B de C.V., Centralfluor Industries Group, Inc., MINERSA Group, and Kenya Flourspar Company Ltd (KFC) – held a collective share of 37.2% in the global fluorspar market in 2014. These players will focus on strategic acquisitions and mergers to fortify their hold in the overall market.

“Though the degree of competition is high due to an oversupply of fluorspar in the market, vendors will have to focus on introducing cheaper products due to price-sensitivity, especially in developing countries,” suggests the lead author of this research report. The opportunity in the global fluorspar market will be worth US$3,489.7 mn by 2023 as compared to US$2,193.0 mn in 2014, with the market surging at a CAGR of 5.4% between 2015 and 2023.


Fluorspar manufacturers are also tying up with final product manufacturers to acquire steady supply contracts and build goodwill. The market will also witness the entry of new players, especially in the emerging economies of the Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific as there are abundant reserves of fluorspar in South Africa and China.

Demand for Cooling Equipment Generates Demand for Fluorochemicals

The growing demand for refrigerators and other types of cooling equipment in residential as well as commercial sectors is anticipated to augment the demand for fluorochemicals. Advanced cooling systems being developed by the automotive sector are also driving the demand for fluorochemicals. Both of these trends are especially pronounced in developing countries such as India and China. These countries have been witnessing rapid urbanization and are home to major automobile manufacturing units. The increasing sales of air conditioners and refrigerators due to a rise in the standard of living is anticipated to fuel the uptake of fluorochemicals, thereby increasing the consumption of fluorspar in the near future.

The rising production of steel and aluminum in BRIC nations has also contributed significantly to the expanding fluorspar market. Analysts predict that infrastructural developments in these countries and the need for steady transportation and construction activities will also bolster the fluorspar market.

Restriction on Ozone-depleting Substances Hampers Market Growth
Despite several growth drivers, the market is hampered by stringent government regulations aimed at protecting the ozone layer in the wake of global warming. The Montreal Protocol signed in 1987 urges about 22 countries across the globe to reduce the production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) to prevent the depletion of the ozone layer. Over the years, such restrictions have had a negative impact on the demand for fluorspar.

Asia Pacific Remains Leading Consumer and Producer of Fluorspar during Forecast Period

The acidspar segment holds a dominant share in the global market and is expected to lead the market in the coming years. The high demand for acidspar in the hydrochloric acid industry is expected to boost this product segment in the near future. The report states that the acidspar product segment will represent an opportunity worth US$2,523.1 mn in 2023 as it expands at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2015 and 2023.
Currently, Asia Pacific is the leading producer and consumer of fluorspar. China and Japan have been driving the demand for fluorspar in Asia Pacific and are expected to lead the region with high production levels of steel and aluminum.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
