The global andalusite market was valued at USD 179 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 5.3% from 2025 to 2034.
Andalusite is valued for its strong thermal and chemical resistance, making it a key material for high-performance refractory products used in kilns and furnaces. Growth in the construction and automotive industries, especially in emerging markets, is driving the demand for refractories and boosting the andalusite industry. A major factor supporting this growth is the increasing use of andalusite, a natural aluminum silicate mineral, in the refractory industry.
The market is also growing due to rising demand for refractories in the steel industry, increased cement consumption from infrastructure projects, and higher adoption in glass manufacturing. Andalusite is more cost-effective than synthetic alternatives and has an eco-friendly mining process, which adds to its appeal. Industrialization in emerging economies and expanding applications in ceramics and foundries are further driving market growth.
The U.S. market was valued at USD 82 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6%, driven by investments in industrial facilities and infrastructure projects.
