Global Strontium Market

Strontium Market Insights

The global strontium market is estimated to witness a significant CAGR both in terms of volume and value during the forecast period. Strontium is a soft silver-white yellowish metallic alkaline earth metal that is highly chemically reactive. Strontium finds applications in various applications such as electrical & electronics, pyrotechnic, medical & dental, personal care, paints & coatings and others such as automotive, aerospace, etc. Economic rebound in developed economies and growth in emerging nations have made industries across the globe more willing to invest in strontium carbonate. In addition to this, the continuously rising use of strontium in traditional areas will bode well for the global strontium market.

Strontium Market: By Product

The market is segmented into strontium carbonate, strontium sulphate, strontium nitrate, others (strontium nitrate, strontium hydroxide, etc.) on the basis of product. The strontium carbonate segment is expected to dominate the market owing to growing demands from electrical & electronics, pyrotechnic and paints & coatings segment. The strontium sulphate, strontium nitrate segment is also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. This can be attributed to demands from medical & dental, personal care segment. The use of strontium oxide and strontium carbonate as frits in ceramic glazes is growing as it is nontoxic alternative to barium and lead.

Strontium Market: By Application

On the basis of application, the market is classified into electrical & electronics, pyrotechnic, medical & dental, personal care, paints & coatings, others (automotive, aerospace, etc.). The global strontium market is driven by the high demand from the paints & coatings industry. This demand can be attributed to its superior properties such as gloss, contrast ratio, opacity, resistance to salt, fog, weather, and UV, improved film coverage, easy dispersion, high pellet flow, and smooth surface among others. Increasing use of paints & coatings in complementary end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and electronics is driving the global market. It can also be used as a substrate material for semiconductors and piezoelectric applications. Other factors propelling the market growth include its use as a coloring agent in pyrotechnic applications such as civilian and military flares, fireworks, and tracer ammunition to produce a bright red and in combination with copper compound to produce purple color.

Strontium Market: By Region

The market in Asia-Pacific dominated the global market owing to the high demand from packaging industry for paints & coatings, electronics, personal care, and others. The high growth of the market in this region can also be attributed to the fast-paced industrialization and urbanization in the emerging countries such as India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. North America accounted for the second-largest market share owing to the high demand for strontium from the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries in the region. Highly developed militarily and army strength in the US is the major driver of the high product demand for military applications in this region.

The high production and sales of automotive parts in the Western European countries such as UK, Germany, France, and Italy are expected to fuel the demand for paints & coatings, which will further drive the demand for strontium in the region. Developing economies including Middle East & Africa are expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to the account of the rise in disposable income and increasing urbanization.
