Wilmington, Delaware, United States, Transparency Market Research, Inc. , Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global Silica flour's market size (سوق دقيق السيليكا) was estimated at US$ 836.0 million in 2022. A CAGR of 5.0% is predicted between 2023 and 2031, reaching US$ 1.3 billion by 2031. The robustness, durability, and resistance to corrosion and chemical attacks of silica flour make it an appealing choice for use in cementitious materials, concrete, and grouts, leading to a rapid market expansion.
The oil and gas industry relies heavily on silica flour during hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, because it holds open cracks and improves oil and gas flow from reservoirs.
Silica flour is used extensively in the glass manufacturing industry to manufacture specialized glasses, fiberglass, bottles, and other glassware. In addition to improving clarity and strength, silica flour increases the thermal resistance of glass. Paint and coatings manufacturers use silica flour more frequently than ever since it improves coating durability, adhesion, and resistance to weathering and abrasion, driving market growth.
