According to a new report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled 'Silica Flour Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018-2026,' the global silica flour market was valued at US$ 655.0 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 5.0% during the forecast period.

Expansion in the global silica flour market is primarily driven by the growth of the fiberglass industry and the rise in crude oil prices. The silica flour market in the Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 5.5% during the forecast period, owing to the high demand for silica flour from various end-use industries across the region, especially in China, Japan, and the ASEAN sub-region.

Silica flour is highly pure, finely ground silica sand. Silica flour is utilized for several applications in end-user industries such as oil & gas, fiberglass, plastics, rubber, paints, sodium silicate, etc.. It forms an integral part of the fiberglass production process. The fiberglass industry has experienced significant growth in the past few years. Fiberglass is used in the automotive, aerospace & defense, energy & power, metals & mining, and chemicals industries. The rapid growth of the end-user industries of fiberglass is driving the fiberglass industry. Fiberglass is a major application segment of silica flour. Production of fiberglass and its products involves the use of silica flour at 52%-74% by weight, depending on the class and grade of fiberglass being manufactured.
