Calcium Fluoride Market Overview
Globally, the calcium fluoride industry covers a calcium fluoride market value of USD 1.9 billion during the market forecast period thus holding a CAGR of 8% by the end of 2030.
Calcium fluoride is an inorganic compound that is composed of calcium and fluorine where it has been the first most important source of fluorine and is used for the production of hydrogen fluoride and calcium sulfate throughout the world. It is a white-colored solid and is found in the form of mineral fluorite which is also named fluorspar. It is used for various purposes like aluminum metallurgy, producing different welding agents, for optical purposes, for manufacturing glass, and also used for many other applications. It has also been used for the production of some beauty products.
Some of the targeted audience so present globally are the manufacturers of calcium fluoride, traders and distributors of the inorganic compound, industries producing the end-products in large quantity, investors investing potentially for the market growth, suppliers supplying the carbon fluoride raw material, and the nationalized laboratory for manufacturing derivatives of calcium fluoride.
