Global Silicon Dioxide Market: Overview
Silicon
dioxide also commonly known as silica is a chemical compound which is
abundantly found in earth’s crust derived from reaction between silica and
oxygen. Silicon dioxide is present in natural as well as synthetic form. Due to
ubiquitous nature of silicon dioxide it is abundantly formed in various forms
such as crystalline, amorphous among others. The most popular crystalline form
of silicon dioxide is quartz which is commonly found in granite and is also
main component of sandstone. Due to abundance presence of silicon dioxide, it
finds application across different industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical
and food among others. The most common form used for the industrial purposes is
amorphous silica nanoparticles which predominantly used across different
industries due to its peculiar physiochemical properties. It is also used as
primary oxide material in the formation of glass and ceramics.
Global Silicon Dioxide Market: Drivers and Restraints
Abundance
functionality and occurrence of silicon dioxide is primarily driving the market
of silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide is used across different industries. In
food industry, the most widespread use of silicon dioxide is that of
anti-caking agent, due its property to absorb excess moisture and thereby,
prevents the sticking of the ingredients together. Therefore, it is
predominantly used in the manufacturing of spices, salt and chilli powder among
other products as it prevents their clumping. Furthermore, it can also be used
as anti-forming agent which is used production of beer and wine to remove yeast
and protein form it. Moreover, due to its anti-caking property, silicon dioxide
is also abundantly used in the manufacturing of health supplements as it
prevents the sticking of ingredients without interfering with other active
ingredients. Hence, extensive applicability portfolio of silicon dioxide is
propelling the market growth. Certain peculiar properties such as removal of
unwanted impurities, protection against diffusion of dopants and high temperature
stability significantly influences the silicon
dioxide market. Owing to these properties, it is abundantly used in the
formation of semiconductor, circuit boards, piezoelectric and refractory
material among others. Thus, pervasive application of silicon dioxide is
spurring the demand for silicon dioxide.
However,
silicon dioxide has also been associated with occupational hazards. Direct
exposure to silicon dioxide may lead to silicosis, which is a lung disease
caused due to excessive inhalation of crystalline silica particles over a
longer period of time. Thus, affecting the market growth of crystalline form of
silicon dioxide particularly in glass manufacturing, mining sector where there
is significant exposure

Global Silicon Dioxide Market:
Region wise Outlook
The global
silicon dioxide market is categorised into seven regions, namely, Western
Europe, Eastern Europe Middle East and Africa (MEA), Asia Pacific excluding
Japan (APEJ), Japan Latin America and, North America. North America holds the
major share in the global silicon dioxide market. With robust technological
development combined with widespread applicability of silicon dioxide across
industries is spurring the growth of the market. The silicon dioxide market in
Western Europe is expected to expand at substantial growth rate. However, with
associate health hazards and stringent regulation is Europe, the growth
prospects of silicon dioxide may get affected during the forecast period. The
APEJ silicon dioxide market is capitalizing on the opportunity of new product
portfolio derived from silicon dioxide. Owing to availability of resources and
opportunistic investment platform in APEJ is expected to spur the market growth
of silicon dioxide.
