FUSED SILICA MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global fused silica market size was USD 0.67 billion in 2023 and the market is projected to touch USD 1.04 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period.

Fused silica is made of very high purity crystal silica (quartz sand), melted by fusion in electrical arc ovens at temperatures of 1800-2000 ℃ and then cooled sufficiently fast to avoid crystallization and obtain transparent amorphous silica (silicon dioxide). It is a noncrystalline (glass) form of silicon dioxide (quartz, sand). It lacks long range order in its atomic structure. Its highly cross linked three dimensional structure gives rise to it's high use temperature and low thermal expansion coefficient.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Fused Silica market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 problem has had an impact on the global economy, causing a strict lockdown and a halt to day-to-day activities in every industry. With the limits imposed by the government, the panic scenario has had a negative influence on the industries. This has resulted in a market drop as well; there was a direct and indirect impact from numerous sectors producing Stepper Motor Linear Actuators. With the revival of the market following COVID-19, we are seeing a recovery of the market where the blanks are restructured with product innovation and investments into R&D activities to develop advanced technologies to meet advanced requirements, which will project a proposed increase in the Fused Silica market share in the forecasted period.
