What is Boron

The Mine of the Future: Boron

Due to the rapid depletion of raw material resources in the world and its use in many branches of industry, the importance of boron is increasing day by day. Türkiye, which has the highest boron reserves in the world, is followed by Russia, South America, and the United States.

Approximately 5.7 million tons of boron were produced in 2016 worldwide. World boron products consumption was 3.1 million tons in 2000, increasing to 4.3 million tons in 2014 — a trajectory driven by expanding industrial applications across every sector.

Boron is used in glass, ceramics, agriculture, cleaning, adhesives, and a growing list of advanced technology applications including renewable energy storage and nuclear systems.
