Description

Specialty Silicas

Growth in the US specialty silicas market will total 4.7 percent annually through 2019 in value terms. Gains will be fueled by higher loadings and new formulations of precipitated silica in automotive tires, in addition to demand from continued strength in the housing and construction industry.

This report segments the specialty silicas market by product type and market. Data is provided in million pounds and million dollars.

Specialty silica product types include:
Precipitated silica
Fumed silica
Silica gel
Colloidal silica, or silica sol
Fused silica

Of these types, precipitated silica will maintain its spot as the largest product type in the specialty silicas market. In addition, it will be the fastest growing product through 2019, buoyed by its improvement of fuel efficiency and traction in green tires for motor vehicles.

Major markets for precipitated silicas include:
Rubber
Cosmetics & Toiletries
Chemicals
Coatings & Inks
Electrical & Electronic Equipment

Rubber was the leading outlet in 2014. Because of its importance in the tire market, rubber will also show the most rapid growth in demand through 2019. Coatings and inks will see similarly strong growth, where silicas are used in formulations that can reduce the emission of volatile organic compounds.

The US specialty films industry ranges from smaller, privately held firms to divisions of large, multinational conglomerates. The industry has seen few noteworthy acquisitions in recent years, in part due to its fairly concentrated industry structure. Leading suppliers include Air Products and Chemicals, Cabot, Evonik, Grace, Imerys, JM Huber, Pemco, PQ, PPG Industries, and Solvay.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
