Potassium and sodium oxide are more abundant in nepheline syenite. While reacting with quartz in the glass furnace, it lowers the melting temperature. It contains a lot of alumina. This mineral's commercial products contain no crystalline silica. As a result, it is consumed in smaller quantities than feldspar. It also aids in lowering energy consumption and improving end-product quality. It is also used as a transparent filler in coatings, plastics, rubber, paints, adhesives, and sealants due to its low refractive index. It provides improved flatting efficiency, improved pellet flow, optimum particle shape, and ease of mixing in coatings. So, this can drive the market growth.

Paint and coating manufacturers are always working to improve the performance of their products. As a result, these manufacturers are constantly on the lookout for advanced fillers. It has been used in a variety of decorative, industrial, and OEM coating applications over the years. However, there are some advantages to using ultrafine nepheline syenite. It has a refractive index and physical properties that improve coating, ink, and adhesive performance. Ultrafine syenite is less expensive to formulate and has excellent UV-curing properties.

The global nepheline syenite market was dominated by North America. The United States is the world's largest importer as well as consumer. The growing demand for high-quality glass products from the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries prompted manufacturers to switch to high-quality alumina sources for glass production. As a result, demand for nepheline syenite in the United States is increasing. Canada is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of this product. Over time, the majority of the produced quantity has been exported to the United States.
