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

Strontium Market Overview The Strontium Market is projected to register a CAGR of 5.50% during the forecast period 2021 to 2027. Strontium is a silvery-white soft metal. Celestine and strontianite are the two main ores from which it is mined. It comes in a variety of forms, including discs, granules, ingots, pellets, and powder. Strontium-88, strontium-86, strontium-87, and strontium-84 are the four isotopes found in nature. Strontium has roughly 16 radioactive isotopes that are created synthetically by nuclear processes. Due to its outstanding qualities such as gloss, contrast ratio, opacity, resistance to salt, fog, weather, and UV, better film coverage, easy dispersion, high pellet flow, and smooth surface, the worldwide strontium market is primarily driven by high demand from the paints & coatings industry. The global strontium market is being driven by the increasing use of paints and coatings in related end-use sectors such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and electronics. Furthermore, as a benign alternative to barium and lead, the use of strontium oxide and strontium carbonate as frits in ceramic glazes is propelling market expansion. It's also utilized as a glass modifier to improve glass's optical characteristics, hardness and strength, and light refraction intensity. Because it absorbs ultraviolet and x-ray radiation, strontium-based glass is an excellent choice for cathode ray tube faceplates. Because of its high dielectric constant, it can be employed in wireless devices and memory chips. It can also be utilized as a substrate material for semiconductors and piezoelectric devices.
