Market Overview:
The global microsilica market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for microsilica from the material industry, construction industry, and other applications. In terms of type, the 80-85% silicon content segment is expected to lead the global microsilica market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high demand from various end-use industries such as construction and automotive.
Product Definition:
Microsilica is a type of silicon dioxide (SiO2) with a very small particle size, typically less than 100 nanometers (nm). It is produced by the thermal decomposition of silica-containing materials, such as sand or quartz. Microsilica has a high surface area and can be used as a reinforcing agent in concrete, rubber, plastics and other materials. It is also used as an abrasive in polishing and cleaning products.
80-85% Silicon Content:
Microsilica Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Microcrystalline Silicon, Amorphous Silicon), By Application (Packaging, Automotive), And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2025 -> The global microsilica market size was estimated at USD 8.5 million in 2018 and is expected to register a CAGR of XX% from 2019 to 2025.
85-90% Silicon Content:
Microsilica 85-90% is a type of microcrystalline silicon that has a content of less than 9.5% by weight of carbon and more than 15% by weight hydrogen, in other words it is the grade which has lower carbon content compared to amorphous silica. Microsilica 85-90% can be used as an abrasive for the production of ceramic tiles, sanitary ware and other products where low viscosity material is required.
Application Insights:
The construction industry was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Microsilica applications are used as a reinforcement filler in concrete, which helps in improving its mechanical properties and strength. It also finds application as an anti-settling additive for slurry walls, which are used to prevent settlement of foundations due to instability caused by soil reaction.
Microsilica has emerged as a potential solution provider for various problems that have hindered the growth of the construction industry over recent years such as high costs associated with steel structures, rising environmental concerns regarding waste disposal during constructions along with other related issues such as land acquisition costs etc., This factor is anticipated to drive product demand from 2018 to 2030 thereby contributing toward market expansion.
Microsilica has emerged strong competitors against polysulphide products owing to its better chemical stability.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The regional growth can be attributed to rising product demand from various applications, including construction, automotive, and material industries. China is one of the largest consumers of microsilica in this region owing to rapid industrialization coupled with a large population base.
The country’s silicon content based geosynthetics industry has witnessed significant growth over the past few years on account of increasing infrastructure activities coupled with growing automobile production in China. In addition, India's microsilica demand is expected to grow at a significant rate due to rapid urbanization along with increased infrastructural development activities taking place across major cities such as New Delhi NCR (National Capital Region) and Mumbai Metropolis Area (MMA).
North America accounted for more than 10% share of global revenue in 2017 owing to high product penetration across several end-use industries such as construction materials.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as construction, automotive and aerospace due to its superior properties such as light weight, high strength and thermal insulation.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using microsilica among consumers for various applications including concrete production, paints & coatings and rubber products.
- Growing investments by manufacturers in R&D to develop new applications for microsilica in order to tap into the growing market potential.
- Expansion of distribution networks by key players to cater to the increasing demand from regional markets worldwide.
- Emergence of new players in the market that are offering innovative products and services at competitive prices which is expected to intensify competition among existing players
