Quartz Global Market Report 2026

Quartz, a mineral comprising silicon dioxide, is found in colorless, transparent, or colored hexagonal crystals or crystalline masses. Extracted from open-pit mines, quartz serves various purposes, including abrasives, foundry sand, hydraulic fracturing proppant, and gemstones.

Quartz is categorized into engineered quartz stones, quartz sand, quartz pebbles, and quartz crystals. Engineered quartz stones are crafted from a mixture of quartz aggregate chips, a resin binder (typically unsaturated polyester), pigments, and additives. Different grades, including high-purity quartz sand, grade I, grade II, and grade III, cater to various industries such as electronics, semiconductors, building and construction, metallurgy, optics, telecommunications, and solar.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the quartz market by increasing import costs for engineered quartz stones, high-purity quartz, and decorative pebbles, affecting supply chains in asia-pacific, europe, and north america. Building and construction, electronics, and solar segments face price pressures, while procurement delays are observed in high-demand regions. On the positive side, tariffs have encouraged local quartz processing, investment in domestic manufacturing facilities, and development of cost-efficient production techniques.

The quartz market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.61 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in renewable energy installations, increasing adoption of engineered quartz in premium construction, rising demand for high-purity quartz in advanced electronics, expansion of quartz applications in telecommunication and optics, focus on sustainable mining and eco-friendly processing technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high-purity quartz in electronics and semiconductors, increasing use of quartz in solar energy applications, expansion of engineered quartz stones in construction and interior design, growing adoption of quartz pebbles and crystals in decorative applications, rising focus on advanced processing and purification technologies.

Rising demand for semiconductors is expected to drive the growth of the quartz market in the coming years. In the semiconductor industry, quartz plates and discs are essential for producing boats, pedestals, wafers, wafer carriers, and batch processing equipment. High-purity quartz, in particular, is used to manufacture crucibles and various quartz glass products like windows, rods, and tubes. For example, in December 2023, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), a US-based industry organization, reported that global semiconductor sales reached $46.6 billion in October 2023, a 3.9% increase from $44.9 billion in September 2023. Thus, the growing demand for semiconductors is fueling the expansion of the quartz market.

Major players in the quartz market are strategically introducing advanced solutions to enhance their competitiveness. One such innovation is the introduction of quartz collections, featuring a range of surfaces or countertops with innovative designs and colors, spanning from icy white tones to midnight black tones. A notable example is Akrilika Holding Company, a Russia-based manufacturer of solid surfaces and quartz, which launched Alfa Quartz in May 2023. Alfa Quartz is a premium material that blends natural elements with durability and innovative design, offering a palette of the first 10 colors. These surfaces are characterized by being non-porous, scratch-resistant, and do not require sealing, making them low-maintenance and durable.

In April 2025, Redbrick Technologies Inc., a Canada-based company focused on building, acquiring, and supporting innovative businesses in media and technology, acquired Quartz for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Redbrick aims to expand its digital media portfolio, strengthen its technological capabilities, and drive the next phase of growth in a rapidly evolving media environment. Quartz Media Network US Inc. is a US-based provider of advanced digital media services, assisting global executives in exploring new industries, markets, and innovative business strategies.
