Global Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) Market Highlights Over 2022 - 2031
The global silicon dioxide (SiO2) market catered an approximate revenue figure of USD 8.35 billion in the year 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of ~7% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2031. The growth of the market can be attributed to the natural availability of silicon dioxide (SiO2), along with its remarkable properties such as anti-caking and high-temperature stability. Additionally, the nature of silicon towards protection against diffusion of dopants, i.e., a process used for controlling impurities into a material to change it's electrical, optical or structural properties, is also expected to add in to the market growth in the coming years. Besides, growing adoption of solar panels, and the increasing manufacturing of health supplements are certain factors anticipated to drive the market growth. Furthermore, the rising demand for silicon dioxide (SiO2) in the construction industry and electronic industry are considered to add to the market growth. As per the statistics sourced from the U.S Geological Survey (USGS), the worldwide production of silicon materials in the year 2020, accounted for nearly to 8000 thousand metric tons.

Silicon dioxide (SiO2), also referred to as silica, is a natural compound that consists of two materials procured from the earth’s crust, i.e., silicon (Si) and oxygen (O2). It is naturally sourced from water, plants, animals, and from the earth’s crust, wherein, the earth's crust alone accounts for 59% of the total available silica. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is a translucent, shapeless solid, with no fragrance. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is used in the construction of industry as a building material, microelectronics, fiber optics, and solar panels.
The global silicon dioxide (SiO2) market is segmented by form, source, application, and by end-users. On the basis of form, the market is further segmented into amorphous, quartz, crystalline, cristobalite, and tridymite. The amorphous segment held the major market share in the year 2021 and is estimated to continue growing at a modest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be associated with the wide applications of amorphous silicon across industries such as paints & coatings, and glass & ceramics, among others. As a result of its mechanical resistance, high dielectric strength, and selectivity for chemical modification, amorphous silica is used as a key material in microelectronics and chromatograph which is anticipated to drive the growth of the segment furthermore.
