Feldspar is extracted through the mining process from pegmatite or feldspathic sand deposits. Aplite, a fine-grained igneous rock with the same mineralogical composition as granite, is also commonly mined for its feldspar content.
The primary types of Feldspar are plagioclase and potassium. Plagioclase refers to any member of the series of abundant feldspar minerals characterized by light-colored, glassy, transparent to translucent, and brittle crystals. End-users of Feldspar include industries involved in glass, ceramics, and fillers. Mining methods encompass both underground mining and surface mining, utilizing various equipment such as excavators, robotic trucks, drills, breakers, and load haul dumps. Additionally, the components involved in the process comprise hardware, software, and services.
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.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the mining sector, especially in areas such as equipment acquisition, export flows, and supply chain stability. Increased tariffs on imported heavy machinery, drilling tools, and specialized parts have driven up both capital and operational expenditures, leading to delays in project development and reduced production efficiency. Simultaneously, retaliatory tariffs from major trading partners have diminished global demand for U.S. sourced minerals particularly critical resources like lithium, copper, and rare earth elements intensifying revenue challenges. These impacts are hitting mid-sized and niche mining companies the hardest due to their reliance on international markets. In response, the industry is focusing on building domestic equipment supply chains, scaling up mineral recycling programs, and lobbying for tariff relief to regain competitiveness and safeguard long-term resource availability.
