Strontium Market: Information by Product (Strontium Carbonate, Strontium Sulfate, Strontium Nitrate, Strontium Chlorates), Application (Electrical & Electronics, Paints & Coatings, Personal Care, Pyrotechnic, Refining), and Region — Global Forecast till 2030

Market Overview:

Strontium is a soft metal with silvery luster. It is mined from two principal ores- celestine and strontianite. It is available in different forms such as disc, granules, ingot, pellets, and powder. It occurs naturally in four isotopes strontium-88, strontium-86, strontium-87, and strontium-84. Synthetically, there are around 16 radioactive isotopes of strontium formed through nuclear reactions. The Strontium Market is projected to register a CAGR of  5.50% during the forecast period 2021 to 2027.

The global strontium market is primarily driven by the high demand from paints & coatings industry owing 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. The increasing use of paints & coatings in complementary end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and electronics is driving the global strontium market. Furthermore, the use of strontium oxide and strontium carbonate as frits in ceramic glazes is another factor propelling the market growth as it is nontoxic alternative to barium and lead. It is also used as a glass modifier to enhance the optical properties of glass, increase its hardness and strength, and to intensify light refraction.  The strontium-based glass is an ideal choice for cathode ray tube faceplates as it absorbs ultraviolet and x-ray radiation. It can be used in wireless devices and memory chips owing to its high dielectric constant. Additionally, it can 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.

Moreover, it is added to aluminium alloys to improve the strength and ductility of castings used in aerospace and automotive applications. It is also used in electrolytic production of zinc to remove lead impurities.

However, the stringent regulations regarding controlling mining activities coupled with the reactive nature of strontium is likely to hamper market growth during the forecast period.
