Asia
In Q2’26, Fluorspar prices in China declined to ~RMB 3.48/kg in April and ~RMB 3.26/kg in the following month, showing a ~6.2% decrease. The market remained supported initially by mining restrictions, environmental controls and cautious producer output, which limited rapid supply growth. Demand from hydrofluoric acid, aluminium fluoride, refrigerants and specialty fluorochemicals supported purchasing activity. However, prices softened later as supply availability improved from China and other producing regions, while refrigerant manufacturers reduced purchases after earlier inventory building. Mining controls continued limiting supply expansion, but improved availability reduced immediate shortage concerns. In India, fluorspar prices declined to ~INR 53.11/kg in April and ~INR 52.24/kg in May, showing a ~1.6% decrease, following softer regional supply conditions.
Europe
Fluorspar prices in Germany declined to ~EUR 0.54/kg in April and ~EUR 0.49/kg in the subsequent month, showing a ~8.9% decrease. European markets remained structurally tight due to limited domestic mining and dependence on imported acid-grade material. Supply constraints continued supporting higher fluorine-chain costs, but improved availability and weaker seasonal refrigerant demand reduced price pressure. Demand from semiconductor chemicals, fluoropolymers and specialty fluorochemicals remained relatively stronger, while refrigerant producers reduced purchases after seasonal stock preparation. Higher energy costs and regulatory pressure on fluorochemical products continued supporting production expenses across the value chain.
North America
Fluorspar prices in the United States increased to ~USD 596.60/MT in April and ~USD 601.70/MT in May, showing a ~0.9% increase. The market remained supported by limited domestic production and high dependence on imported material from major producing regions. Acid-grade fluorspar availability remained important for hydrofluoric acid, refrigerants, aluminium fluoride and advanced fluorochemical applications. Demand from semiconductor-related chemicals, fluoropolymers and industrial uses provided support, while imported supply costs kept delivered prices elevated. Limited domestic mining capacity continued to maintain supply concerns for US buyers.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, fluorspar prices are expected to remain supported by concentrated supply and steady fluorochemical demand, although improved production availability may limit further increases.

Asia
The Asian fluorspar market experienced considerable pressure during the second half of 2025, primarily driven by supply-side challenges in China. Mining operations faced disruptions as authorities enforced stricter safety and environmental regulations, which significantly limited production capacity. This supply tightness kept raw material costs elevated for downstream industries. Demand conditions presented a mixed picture across the region. While the refrigerant sector showed resilience with certain products maintaining steady consumption, overall procurement activity remained subdued. Downstream buyers adopted highly conservative purchasing outlook, focusing primarily on immediate needs rather than building inventories. The combination of restricted supply and cautious demand created a relatively stable but pressured market environment.
Europe
The European fluorspar market maintained relatively stable conditions during the second half of 2025. Supply availability was adequate as producers managed to maintain regular operations using existing stockpiles and controlled feedstock costs. However, demand remained subdued across the region due to continued weakness in key downstream sectors. The construction industry showed limited activity, while cement production levels declined, reducing overall fluorspar consumption. Export demand from Asia provided some support but not enough to raise prices.
North America
The North American fluorspar market remained relatively stable throughout the second half of 2025, owing to continued import dependence. The United States maintained its reliance on foreign suppliers as local production remained limited. Demand from the refrigerant and fluorochemical sectors provided consistent support, though other industrial segments displayed more cautious consumption patterns. Elevated freight costs added some pressure to import prices, but overall market conditions remained balanced with steady procurement activity.
A mineral made of calcium fluoride (CaF2) is known as fluorspar, commonly referred to as fluorite. It is a vibrant mineral that can be found in a range of hues, such as purple, green, yellow, and blue. Due of its luminous characteristics under ultraviolet light, fluorspar is highly valued. It is utilized in a variety of industrial processes, including those that produce steel, aluminum, hydrofluoric acid, ceramics, glass, and as a flux in metallurgy. Due to its special qualities, fluorspar is also used in lithium-ion batteries and dental items.

The procedure starts with the extraction of the fluorspar-containing mineral ore from the veins of other ores, including slate, gneiss, limestone, etc. The recovered material is subsequently processed through crushers to get fine powder-like materials. The next part is the flotation stage, which is the most important step. When water and a flotation agent are added to the powdered extracted material, the flotation agent causes the fluorspar to float to the top while the impurities sink to the bottom of the vessel. The essential material is gathered and dried in preparation for further packaging and delivery.
