Silica Flour Market Dynamics

Driver: Increase in demand for silica flour for oil well cementing
Oil well cementing is one of the key applications of silica flour, and the growth of the oil industry coupled with the increase in crude oil prices has contributed to the growth of the silica flour market

Restraint: Stringent government regulations on the usage of silica flour
Silica is classified as a hazardous substance and is therefore regulated under Chapter 4 of the Hazardous Substances of the 2017 Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.

Opportunity: Growth in the cosmetic industry to drive the demand for silica flour
Silica flour is used in cosmetics as a natural absorbent. Skin products have gained the attention of the masses in recent times, and people of all age groups use them.

Challenge: Adverse effect of silica flour on human health
One of the major effects of silica flour on human health is silicosis, which is a long-term lung disease caused by inhaling large amounts of crystalline silica dust, usually over many years.

In terms of value & volume, quartz is estimated to lead the silica flour market in 2020.

Quartz, by type, accounted for the largest market share in the silica flour market. Quartz silica, often called quartz sand, white sand, industrial sand, and silica sand includes sand with high silicon dioxide (SiO2) content. It is a hard, crystalline mineral that consists of silicon and oxygen atoms. Quartz is estimated to be the largest segment in the silica flour market in 2020. Quartz is extensively used in the production of paints, cosmetics, fiberglass, silicone rubber, and ceramic and in oil well cementing. The hardness, high density, and high chemical resistance offered by quartz flour are likely to contribute to the growth of this segment during the forecast period.

Fiberglass dominated the silica flour market in 2020, in terms of value and volume.

Fiberglass, by end use, accounted for the greatest demand for silica flour in 2020, in terms of value and volume. Fiberglass is a fiber-reinforced plastic in which the reinforcement material is a glass fiber. Properties such as high strength and low weight make fiberglass preferable for use in composite and insulation applications in the construction, automotive, and wind energy industries. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the keen interest of contractors and builders to use silica flour to produce fiberglass for construction activities (as a construction and insulation material), especially in the emerging economies of APAC and South America.
