It is highly durable and is widely used in thermal insulation sheets for households and other spaces. Besides that, the technical grade mica paper is used in atomic force microscopy and in the manufacturing of electronics and electrical components. Specialized applications of the product include medical electronics, radar systems, laser devices, and aerospace components in ground, sea, and air-launched missile systems. The unique mechanical, electronic, and thermal properties of the product augment its demand across several end-use industries. Hence, the increasing product demand from-end use sectors is expected to fuel the market growth.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Businesses Resume Operation Under Strict Measure Amidst the Pandemic"

The unforeseen emergence of the coronavirus outbreak has unleashed an unprecedented global economic crisis. The growth of several industries and markets has stagnated due to the pandemic. The global mica paper market has witnessed a negative impact of the global pandemic. The halted construction activities due to the worldwide implementation of stringent lockdown and curfew restrictions have impacted the market growth. The shutdown of manufacturing facilities due to these restrictions has affected the market growth. The shift in consumer’s focus on essential expenditures coupled with the high unemployment rates has resulted in reduced demand for the product. Moreover, the disruptions in global supply chain networks due to halted air transport and global trade ban have aggravated the situation. Nonetheless, the businesses operating in the market have resumed their operations with reduced production and under strict measures. With the accelerated vaccination of the global populace, the market is expected to witness steep growth post-pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

"Makeup Brands & Skincare Products Use ‘Ethical Mica’ to Create Awareness"

Mica is safe to be used in coloring products in personal care, and cosmetics products. Mica’s refractive and reflective properties make it a vital ingredient in the foundation, eye-shadows, mascara, blushes, lip gloss, and other products. Jharkhand in India is the largest producer of mica in the world. But the high poverty in India causes over-exploitation of the mining workers. Also, mining mica is a hazardous process, and many miners lose their lives to earn their daily wages. This problem has led many businesses in the skincare and cosmetic industries to use ‘ethical mica’ or the mica which has been procured without exploiting the miners. Several NGOs are also helping to alleviate the issue of unethical mica mining. The increasing awareness for the use of ethical mica is expected to boost market growth.

MICA PAPER MARKET SEGMENTATION

Based on type, the market segments into household electric appliances, electric power systems, mica plate/mica tape, and electric machinery. Based on application, the market fragments into synthetic mica paper, natural phlogopite mica paper, and natural muscovite mica paper. Out of these, the household electric appliance segment and the synthetic mica paper segments are expected to witness the highest growth in the market.

Geographically, the market is classified into five major regions- North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increasing Construction Activities to Propel Market Growth"

The product is extensively used in households and other spaces in thermal insulation sheets. The excellent insulating properties coupled with high-temperature resistance and tensile strength boost the product demand for construction and renovation applications. In recent years, the global population has been increasing at unprecedented rates, due to which the construction of household and commercial sectors has grown at a rapid pace.
