COVID-19 IMPACT

Engineered Quartz Surfaces Market Had a Positive Effect Due to Increased Amount of Time Spent at Home During COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The engineered quartz surfaces industry experienced a huge blow from COVID-19 and especially in the early stages of the pandemic. In context of global lockdowns, construction across most of the world practically halted and project delays built up demand for the installed interior surfacing material. Municipal building departments curtailed activities thus delaying projects and residential spending on home improvement projects initially slowed to nothing but greatly improved after lockdowns ended with increased consumer spending through stay-at-home recommendations. Eventually spending on projects / renovations took off as demonstrated by the increase in demand for residential applications. The change in style of home improvement growth even resurrected demand for residential applications. Quarantine changes in methods for understanding with help from digital tools even in the design/selection stage became more common which helped businesses keep customers relevant virtually during isolation. Manufacturers did have to quickly change to adapt safe practices with production continuity and they were even able to continue production with home shipment and direct-to-consumer marketing.

ENGINEERED QUARTZ SURFACES MARKET SEGMENTATION

BY TYPE

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Press Molding Quartz, Casting Quartz:

• Press Molding Quartz: Press molding quartz is the most frequently used engineered quartz surfaces. Press molding is the method of taking a mixture of quartz crystalline, resins, as well as pigments and applying extreme pressure and heat to form dense, non-porous slabs. It is a surface use is durable, consistent in color and will not change, and patterns will be seamless. It also provides a durable and impermeable surface against stains, scratches, and moisture. Therefore, it is ideal for many surface applications in residential and commercial building applications. Press molding is also convenient for mass production and consistency in a large project. Due to the precision and efficiency of the process, less waste is produced, so it is also more environmentally sustainable and lowers costs. Finally, press molding remains the preferred choice for engineered quartz surfaces for the beauty, structural integrity, and maintainability of engineered quartz surfaces.

• Casting Quartz: The process of casting quartz, or pour molding, allows for a liquid mixture of quartz and resin to be poured into molds to create custom shapes and designs. The casting offers greater customization options for unique surface patterns and edge profiles. Casting quartz is incredibly versatile and practical for decorative and artistic purposes where finishes are critical. Casting quartz will, on average, have slightly less density than press-molded quartz, however, it is still a durable product for everyday use. Overall, casting has allowed producers to cater to niche/unusual design trends, and taste preferences. Additionally, this method allows for small-batch production, making it ideal for bespoke (one-off) interior design projects. The process of casting creates an unusual method of use rather than another type of cement or method that hinders diversity in the quartz marketplace.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

High Initial Cost Compared to Alternative Materials to Potentially Impede Market Growth

High upfront cost is a key limiting factor for the engineered quartz surfaces industry, compared to laminate, tiles, and lower-end granite surfaces. Though quartz surfaces are both durable and offer minimal maintenance in the long run, the upfront cost will often dissuade price-sensitive customers and small contractors from purchasing quartz surfaces. This consideration is especially important in a growth-oriented market where cost reduction continues to be the leading consideration in decision-making. Additionally, custom installations and/or custom specialty designs also increase project costs such that a potential customer is more apt to choose lower-cost alternatives to even consider quartz surfaces, despite the relative advantages of quartz versus other products.

Rising Adoption in Emerging Markets to Create Opportunity for The Product in The Market

Opportunity

Emerging markets are providing tremendous growth prospects for engineered quartz surfaces. As urbanization rises and per capita incomes in nations in areas like Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and new territories in Africa increase, consumers are getting access to tailored, contemporary, durable interior materials. The increase in consumer spending has been compounded by the increasing demand for surface materials generated by governments around the world spending money on infrastructure and residential housing, and growing consumer awareness of quartz area sanitary or hygienic benefits, design features, durability, and longevity.

Health and Safety Concerns in Manufacturing Could Be a Potential Challenge for Consumers

Challenge

The manufactured quartz surfaces industry has an emerging challenge in the health risk of possible exposure to crystalline silica dust from products and workplaces, during manufacturing and fabrication processes. When workers cut, grind, or polish quartz slabs to prepare the slabs for milling (without suppressing dust), the workers face a potential risk of developing serious impairing respiratory maladies, like silicosis. The risk of exposure to silica dust has led to increased scrutiny from labor regulators and advocates and given rise to new regulations on silica that are more serious than more typical hazardous risk groups. Manufacturers will have to rethink safe workplace policies for managing hazardous dust in the workplace, new HD workplace arrangements, and possible investments to make workplace safety better for exposure to hazardous dust in the workplace. Dust suppression technologies will have to be improved, including dust shrouds, and ventilation and filtration systems. Small manufacturers may be bounded by compliance costs or also incur additional costs to limit the workplace and liability risks which may be frictions to market entry.
