Silica Flour Market Research, 2031

The global silica flour market size was valued at $520.0 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $876.3 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2031. 

The silica flour market faced several difficulties with material supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages in 2020.The demand for silica flour market has decreased amid the COVID-19 period owing to declining of oil & gas industry where silica flour are used for reducing the heat loss within high temperature streams

Silica flour is very fine material and purified form of crystalline silica that naturally occurs in different shapes. It has high mechanical strength and provides permeability in various end-use industries and it can withstand high temperatures that make them suitable for thermal insulation and heat stabilization applications in various end-use industries such as iron & steel, cement manufacturing, glass production, petrochemicals, and others. They are used as an abrasive additive in soaps, skin care products, paint & coatings, and others.

Rapid infrastructure development and increase in demand from the automotive sector has led to rise in iron & steel production in both developed and developing economies such as the U.S., China, and India where silica flour exhibits considerably low thermal expansion, high melting point, and resistance to metal deformation owing to which silica flour is used as coating material in iron & steel sector. In addition, the surge in modern theme-based building & construction sector has surged the demand for glass used in manufacturing windowpanes, doors, and other building parts where silica flour is used as glassifying agent owing to low thermal expansion capacity and high melting point. It is used predominantly in glass manufacturing units and is projected to experience a surge in demand. These are the major factors contributing toward silica flour market growth.

However, silica flour poses threat to humans if exposed beyond the maximum concentration limits. For instance, the prolonged exposure to ceramic fiber-based silica flour may cause skin and upper respiratory irritation. In addition, breathing very small (crystalline) silica particles may cause multiple health hazards such as silicosis or may even lead to death. This factors hampers the market growth.

On the contrary, increase in industrialization, surge in manufacturing industries, and rise in prices of crude oil has surged the demand for silica flour where it is used as an additive to standard cement (Oilwell Class G) to meet permeability and compressive strength requirements. It is a key factor that is anticipated to offer new opportunities in the global silica flour market.

The silica flour market forecast is analyzed on the basis of type, application, and region. Depending on type, the market is divided into quartz and cristobalite. On the basis of application, it is fragmented into fiberglass, glass and clay, oil well cement, ceramics and refractory, foundry and others. Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The major companies profiled in the silica flour market analysis include AGSCO, Adwan Chemical Industries Co. Ltd, Delmon Group of Companies, Hoben International Limited, Opta Minerals Inc., SCR-SIBELCO NV, Sil industrial minerals, PolyOne Corporation, Sanitized AG, and BioCote Limited

The Asia-Pacific silica flour market size is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period and accounted for 43% of silica flour market share in 2021. This is attributed to the proliferating demand for iron & steel from various end-use sectors such as industrial, construction infrastructure, automotive and others have led the iron & steel manufacturers to increase their production capacities where silica flours are widely used for temperature stability purposes. For instance, according to a report published by India Brands Equity Foundation, India’s finished steel consumption is anticipated to increase to 230 metric ton (MT) by 2030-31 from 93.43 metric ton (MT) in 2020-21. In addition, China's cement manufacturing sector is increasing rapidly which has forced the silica flour manufacturers to produce high quality silica flour for high temperature applications in kilns, furnaces, incinerators, and others. For instance, according to a report published by World Cement Association, China’s cement clinker production output was 1.579 billion ton in 2020 and is growing with a year-on-year growth of 3.07%.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL SILICA FLOUR MARKET

  • The novel coronavirus is an incomparable global pandemic that has spread to over 180 countries and caused huge losses to lives and the economy around the globe.
  • The silica flour market has faced negative impact due to the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to rise in cases of COVID-19, implementation of emergency protocols and shutdown of various operations and facilities.
  • Due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the manufacturers faced challenges in terms of operation and supply chain due to government restrictions during the lockdown. 
  • The silica flour market faced several difficulties with material supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages, in 2020.

According to CXOs of leading companies, the global silica flour market is expected to exhibit high growth potential. Silica flour is used to withstand high temperature in kilns, furnaces, incinerators, and reactors in a variety of end use sectors such as iron & steel, glass manufacturing, and oil well cementing. High temperature equipment that require efficient thermal insulation lining for minimizing heat losses through the equipment can be accomplished with the use of silica flour.

In addition, silica flour has low thermal expansion and prevent the outer shell of the heating equipment from being overheated. In this way it increases the shelf life of the heating equipment. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance property of silica flour enables the consumers to use them in both acidic and alkali atmospheres.

The CXOs further added that sustained economic growth and the development of fiberglass sector have surged the popularity of silica flour.
