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. Based on the end-use industry, the quartz market has been segmented into electronics and semiconductors, solar, buildings and construction, medical, optics and telecommunication and others. In 2018, the electronics and semiconductor segment led the quartz market with a share of 27.5% and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. The physical properties of quartz such as hardness, chemical purity, resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, and electrical insulation make it an ideal component in the manufacture of semiconductors. High purity quartz (HPQ) is widely used in consumer goods such as TVs, ACs, laptops, smartphones, and others. It is treated as an integral component in the solar and semiconductor industry. Thus the increasing utilization of quartz in these industries is anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period. The market for global quartz is concentrated with some very well-established players. Some of the key players in the global quartz market are Baba Quartz, Quality Quartz Engineering, Momentive, Quartz Corporation, Creswick Quartz, Saint Gobain S.A., Dupont, Sibelco NV, Thermofisher Scientific, and Caesarstone Ltd. among others. https://www.theinsightpartners.com/reports/quartz-market
