COVID-19 impact on global silica flour market
With the rise in cases of COVID-19, implementation of emergency protocols and shutdown of various operations and facilities have been observed during 2020. The silica flour market has observed a minimal or nominal impact of the pandemic on its demand in 2020-2021. However, the silica flour market faced several difficulties with material supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages, in 2020. In the first quarter of 2021, the market for silica flour has experienced an increase in the demand for silica flour chemicals worldwide, compared to that in 2020.
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. Silica flour is commercially used in oil well cementing owing to its mechanical strength and permeability. Throughout the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, wellbore temperatures can exceed 110°C due to well depth or physical treatment. In these environments, silica flour is required as an additive to standard cement (Oilwell Class G) to meet permeability and compressive strength requirements. This creates a significant demand for silica flour for oil well cementing.
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. This means that an employer has a legal duty to identify hazards and eliminate or control any risk, provide information and training, undertake atmospheric monitoring, maintain records and, in the case of crystalline silica, carry out health surveillance. The National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC - now SafeWork Australia) has revised the exposure standards for the three forms of crystalline silica, quartz, cristobalite, and tridymite. These regulations and mandates have prompted manufacturers to employ new techniques to maintain a safe working environment. This, in turn, can lead to reduced profit margins and may hamper the growth of the silica flour market to some extent.
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. Since most skin products are manufactured using silica flour, the demand for silica flour has increased globally in recent years. According to Cosmetics Europe (The Personal Care Association), the cosmetic industry was valued at EUR 79.8 billion at a retail sales price in 2019, and the European cosmetics and personal care market is the largest in the world. Globally, the economic development in emerging countries has further increased the utilization of cosmetic products, as consumers have more disposable income. This growth in demand for cosmetic products will, in turn, drive the demand for silica flour for application in skincare products.
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. The handling or processing of silica flour can create a risk for the workers, as silica flour has a very fine dust-like structure that can be easily inhaled, causing adverse effects on human health. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has also warned the manufacturers and users of silica flour that the risk of developing silicosis may be very high for workers exposed to silica flour. NIOSH stated that workers exposed to silica flour are at serious risk of developing silicosis. Therefore, the adverse effects of silica flour on human health act as a major challenge for the market’s growth.
Quartz widely preferred type of silica flour
Based on type, quartz is projected to be the largest segment 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 higher demand of this segment.
Significant increase in the demand for silica flour for fiberglass production
By End use, the fiberglass segment is projected to be the largest segment in the silica flour market.. 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.
North American region to lead the global silica flour market by 2026
The North American region accounted for the largest market share in 2020. North America has witnessed a substantial upsurge in the tire industry due to the presence of automobile giants, such as General Motors and Ford Company. The growing tire industry has increased the consumption of silica flour as a reinforcing filler in this region. Additionally, the use of glass and silica flour for renewable energy resource applications such as solar cells and wind turbines has accelerated the growth of the silica flour market in the region.
