The global spherical silica powder market size was USD 438.3 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 778.15 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecasting period.

Crushing, picking, cleaning, acid treatment, high temperature melting, fine grinding, classification, along with iron and other processes processed to meet the requirements of the use of powder, are the methods used to create quartz powder or silica powder from pure quartz (natural quartz or fused quartz). Silica is a type of silicon oxide; its chemical formula is SiO2. It is found in nature in numerous creatures and is most frequently found in quartz. Sand mostly consists of silica. One of the most diverse and plentiful groups of minerals, silica can be found in a wide range of natural and artificial items. Fused quartz, vapor silica, silica, opal, and aerogel are a few notable examples.

 Food-grade silica is amorphous. Wet silicon and colloidal silicon are two categories of silica powder that can be separated based on distinct preparation techniques. Wet silicon is a white, fluffy, sand-free, moisture-absorbing powder having the ability to absorb water from the atmosphere, as opposed to colloidal silicon, which has a much smaller strength. The melting point of silica powder is 1710 °C, and its relative density is 2.2 to 2.6. Silica is soluble in hydrofluoric acid and hot concentrated alkali solution but insoluble in water, acid, and organic solvents. Spherical silica powder refers to the silica powder which is round or nearly round under the scanning mirror or microscope. It can be used as anticoagulant; suspending agent; defoamer; carrier; thickener; malt drink, fruit wine, soy sauce, vinegar, cool drink and other filter aids, clarifying agents, flavors and fragrances to absorb desiccant.

The silica powder used in food can be employed as an absorbent desiccant, an anticoagulant, a suspending agent, a defoamer, a carrier, and a thickening for malt drinks, fruit wines, soy sauce, vinegar, and other beverages. First of all, the resin is evenly blended into the spherical powder, which has good fluidity. Small amounts of glue are added, but there is a lot of quartz powder filling the cavity. The maximum mass fraction is 90.5%. The better the performance of the produced electronic components, the higher the filling amount of quartz powder, the lower the thermal conductivity, the smaller the thermal expansion coefficient of the plastic sealing material, and the closer to the thermal expansion coefficient of monocrystal silicon.

Second, the stress concentration of the plastic seal constructed of spherical quartz powder is the lowest and the strength is the highest. The stress of spherical powder is only 60% that of angular powder. Finally, spherical powder has a smooth surface, a low coefficient of friction, little mold wear, and a service life that can be increased by more than one.

COVID-19 Impact: Strain on Market’s Supply Chain to Impede Market Sales

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with spherical silica powder experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributed to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

City-wide lockdowns and disruptions in the transportation network are having an indiscriminate effect on the world and the global economy as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic and the rising numbers of sick. In the days and weeks to come, it is anticipated that a considerable impact would be felt on supply chains for chemicals and materials as well as manufacturing processes all over the world.

Transportation had ceased as a result of the lockdown of cities and nations. There were countless chemical enterprises that had temporarily closed or were about to do so. Companies that rely heavily on Chinese manufacturing for raw materials, components, or finished items were most negatively affected. Spherical silica powder market had utilized supply chain methods including lean manufacturing, outsourcing, and offshore production in the last several years to lower the cost of manufacturing. However, the COVID-19 outbreak has severely disrupted the market's supply networks.

LATEST TRENDS

"Chemical Properties of the Powder to Boost Market Growth"

The technical specifications of high-end integrated circuits can be met by spherical silica powder, which not only has good shape but also a high chemical purity and a low content of radioactive elements. It can significantly lower the plastic sealing material's thermal expansion coefficient, lower its dielectric constant, reduce stress, and significantly increase rigidity, wear resistance, weather resistance, impact resistance, compressive resistance, tensile resistance, moisture resistance, and fire resistance. As a result, the products have good arc insulation resistance and UV radiation resistance which is anticipated to drive spherical silica powder market growth.
