According to a research report published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, The United States Corundum Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 1,955.6 Million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.91% from 2025 to 2035. The expansion of the United States corundum market is propelled by the increasing demand for synthetic corundum in abrasive applications, as its exceptional hardness makes it ideal for grinding and polishing materials.

Market Overview

Corundum is a naturally occurring mineral with exceptional hardness that is widely used in many different goods, including jewellery and industrial abrasives. Because corundum is widely used in jewellery as a primary material for valuable stones like sapphires and rubies, it has a substantial impact on the corundum market. The industry is expanding due to the rising demand for colourful gemstones, especially in the luxury market. High-performance abrasives are needed for industrial applications, and the nation's robust luxury goods consumer base fuels demand in gemstones like sapphires and rubies. Further increasing demand for corundum materials is the continued recovery from economic shocks, which has resulted in more investments in construction and manufacturing. Furthermore, the U.S. market is anticipated to expand gradually as processing techniques are improved by technological improvements. Furthermore, corundum is used in many industrial applications outside of the jewellery industry, which fuels the expansion of the market. Because of their hardness, non-gemstone corundum types like brown and black emery are used as abrasives in cutting, sandblasting, and grinding operations. When high-speed performance without excessive heat generation is needed, white corundum is used in polishing applications. The industrial need for corundum in abrasive applications guarantees the corundum market's continuous expansion and diversification, even though the jewellery market continues to be its key driver.
