The forecast for fluorspar consumption in the US indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 301.53 thousand metric tons in 2024, consumption is projected to decrease by around 4.5% year-on-year in 2025, followed by similar decreases in subsequent years, reaching 249 thousand metric tons by 2028. This trend suggests a compounding average negative growth rate over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in alternative materials may further reduce fluorspar demand.
Shifts in global trade policies could impact availability and pricing.
Environmental regulations might affect the mining and processing of fluorspar.
