Abstract

US demand to reach 1.2 billion pounds in 2011
US demand for specialty silicas is forecast to reach nearly 1.2 billion pounds in 2011, propelled by growth in fumed and precipitated silicas. In addition, gains will be fueled by advances in the electronics and rubber industries as demand for silicas used in chemical mechanical planarization slurries and silica-reinforced high performance automotive tires continues to rise. However, success in the specialty silicas market will increasingly depend on the development and marketing of improved products and new applications, due largely to market maturity and competition from alternative materials.

Precipitated silica to remain largest segment; fumed silica to grow the fastest
Precipitated silica will remain the largest type of specialty silica, in terms of both volume and value demand. Gains will be supported by the large volume rubber market. The tire sector, in particular, will benefit from greater use of precipitated silica in the production of high performance, “green” motor vehicle tires in the US. Healthy growth is also anticipated for the cosmetics and toiletries industry, as well as the plastics market. Fumed silica will record the fastest gains in terms of volume. Advances will be propelled by substantial gains in the electronics industry, which utilizes fumed silica, as well as silica sol, in chemical mechanical planarization slurries for wafer polishing applications.
