Resilient by Design: Quartz Market Expands as Tech Industry Advances and Recycles
San Diego, CA, October 27, 2025:
TECHCET projects nearly a 10% growth in 2025 to reach US$ 2.97 billion for quartz materials. Meanwhile, the five-year CAGR for quartz materials is estimated at 7%. Market momentum is driven by the continued ramp of advanced nodes, AI and data center demand, and a broader recovery across logic and memory segments. As wafer starts increase through late 2025, demand for quartz crucibles and fabricated parts is expected to strengthen globally as supported by TECHCET’s 2025-2026 Critical Materials Reporton Quartz.
Quartz Forecast 2024-2029
Significant developments have reshaped the quartz supply chain. The recovery of Sibelco’s Spruce Pine Mine following Hurricane Helene has restored critical HPQ output, while China’s April 2025 announcement of a 35 million metric tons of high-purity quartz resource could add additional supply capacity. Meanwhile, The Quartz Corp. has begun pilot production of 4N8 purity synthetic quartz, Homerun Resources launched HPQ purification in Canada, and suppliers like Pacific Quartz and Beijing Kaide Quartz expanded capacity to meet growing semiconductor demand. Across the industry, sustainability initiatives are gaining traction, with fabs in Korea and Taiwan initiating quartz recycling development programs to reduce raw material supply chain risks.
Overall, the industry’s strategic focus on high purity, process control, and sustainable supply chains positions it for continued expansion.
