Product Definition:
Special Silica is a high purity quartz powder that has been specifically processed for use in the semiconductor and solar industries. It is used as a dopant or additive to silicon wafers and solar cells to improve their performance.
Precipitated Silica:
Precipitated silica is a form of silicon dioxide, also known as quartz. It has a high melting point and is used in various industries including glass, ceramics, construction materials and adhesives. The global precipitated silica market size was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2015 owing to its increasing demand from the glass industry for manufacturing frits which are used extensively in the production of potash (KOH).
Fumed Silica:
Fumed silica is a type of speciality silicon dioxide used in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, and adhesives. It has properties such as high thermal stability and low volatility which make it suitable for use in various applications. Fumed silica can be easily differentiated from other types of silicon dioxide by observing its physical appearance. It appears as very fine particles with an almost transparent look due to its small particle size (less than 5 microns).
Application Insights:
Rubber emerged as the dominant application segment and accounted for over 30.0% of the overall volume in 2017. The product is used to produce high-performance rubber, which is further utilized in tires and tubes owing to its superior characteristics such as durability, grip, abrasion resistance and temperature stability.
The global special silica market has witnessed significant growth on account of increasing demand from various end-use industries including automotive & transportation, electronics & semiconductor, food & beverage and personal care & cosmetics among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global special silica market in terms of revenue with a share of 59.1% in 2017. This is attributed to rapid industrialization and growth of various end-use industries, such as automotive, construction, electronics, food & beverage and others across the region.
Europe also held a significant market share due to increasing use from several major end-user industries including construction.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Special Silica in various end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics due to its unique properties such as thermal stability, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of Special Silica among consumers is expected to boost its demand over the forecast period.
