Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/14/2017 -- Non-metallic minerals are also called industrial materials. They have no metallic luster, are non-malleable, and break easily. Limestone, dolomite, magnesite, talc, phosphorite, clay, quartz, gemstones, mica, silica sand, and decorative and dimension stones are common examples of non-metallic minerals. With the rapid proliferation of the real estate sector and rising consumer interest regarding home decoration, the market for non-metallic minerals is expected to witness positive growth in the coming years. Growth of the construction industry is expected to generate substantial demand for building materials, which will indirectly translate into enhanced demand for non-metallic minerals across the world over the next few years.

Apart from this, several manufacturers are focusing on enhancing their presence in segments like decorative glass and glass based products as demand for such products has been on the rise since the past few years, especially from residential end-users. Demand for decorative glass will be high due to an increase in non-essential expenditure by households. Increase in GDP growth and rising disposable income in developing countries such as India and China has contributed to an increase in per capita income, thereby leading to consumer spending on such decorative products.
