Flint production is primarily industrial, used in glassmaking, ceramics, and construction. Key sources include the UK, France, and Poland, with global output estimated near 1.2 million tons annually. Production growth from 2018–2024 averaged 2% per year, aligned with construction and material industries. Prices for Flint have shown steady increases due to higher fuel and freight costs. In 2025, the price trend indicates a moderate rise of around 4%, reflecting stable industrial demand and energy-linked cost pressures. Decorative-grade Flint used in gemcrafts shows additional pricing resilience. Long-term, global demand is expected to remain consistent, with the price outlook depending on silica market dynamics and raw material logistics.
