Fluorspar, also known as fluorite (CaF₂), is a critical industrial mineral used in steelmaking, aluminum production, hydrofluoric acid (HF) manufacturing, and chemical industries. It plays a key role in producing fluorochemicals, refrigerants, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics.

The global fluorspar market has been driven by increasing demand from the chemical and metallurgical industries, particularly in emerging economies with growing manufacturing sectors. Fluorspar is classified into acid-grade, metallurgical-grade, and ceramic-grade based on its purity and application.

The market was valued at approximately USD 2.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4–5% over the next decade, fueled by industrial growth and fluorochemical demand.
