Strontium carbonate is a solid salt compound that has wide industrial applications. It is an important mineral primarily used in glass manufacturing for cathode ray tubes and as a flux agent in enamel frits. Strontium carbonate possesses lucrative optical and electrical properties which make it suitable for various end-use industries. It demonstrates strong ferroelectric behavior and finds usage in electronic ceramics. Moreover, strontium carbonate is known to promote bone strength and has emerged as a popular ingredient in dietary supplements. Continued research into exploring its biomedical applications is expected to drive future demand. With rapid industrialization and growth of the glass manufacturing sector in Asia Pacific, the strontium carbonate market is poised to exhibit healthy expansion over the coming years.
Market Dynamics:
Rising demand from the glass manufacturing industry has been a key driver for the strontium carbonate market. It is favorably used in glass formulations owing to its ability to lower the melting point of glass. Expanding automotive and construction industries have augmented the glass demand, thereby benefitting the market. In addition, growth of the healthcare vertical and research into medical uses of strontium carbonate present promising opportunities. However, the availability of substitutes and volatility in raw material prices pose challenges. Supply-demand imbalances caused due to COVID-19-related disruptions have also impacted the market growth. Nonetheless, focus on infrastructure growth programs in developing nations is likely to bolster consumption.
