The global semiconductor market has recovered in recent years where sales increased from 2015. Whereas with regards to volume,the market was calculated XX Metric Tons in 2019 and foreseen to grow with a CAGR of XX% during 2020-2026.
Moreover, the increasing environmental concerns, and mounting emphasis on utilizing greener sources of energy, are also estimated to be significant determinants that add growth to the market.
According to Value Market Research, the global high purity silica powder market was valued at around USD 825 Million in 2019 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 10.25% during the forecast period of 2020-2026.
In addition to this, the rapidly expanding broadband market due to the growing internet users across the globe is also predictable to enhance market growth under the forecast period. For instance, As per the world in data organization, the number of internet users number is increased from 413 million in 2000 to over 3.4 billion in 2016. The barrier of one billion was crossed in 2005. Each day an average of 640,000 people went online for the first time over the past five years. As per the international telecommunication union in the year 2015, there is around 48% of the world population used the internet and it was estimated that nearly 3.2 billion people were internet users by the end of 2015.
However, the dearth of skilled professionals and the limited availability of mines may hamper the global high purity silica powder industry in the long run. The current industry trend, such as rapidly evolving technology in poly-silicon production techniques, growing research initiatives regarding the use of high purity silica powder for the production of solar grade silicon, is expected to create new market opportunities for the key players in the coming years.
The High purity silica powder market is vast, with a large number of local and global players. The key leaders follow different strategies to improve their market position, such as mergers, expansions, acquisitions, and product innovations to augment their market share across the world. For instance, in January 2019, The Quartz Corp announced that the company is largely focusing on enhancing the existing thermal processing technology to improve the overall quality and uniformity of high-quality quartz. The key players included in the report are DIGHEN Composite Material Technology, Evonik Industries, Sibelco, Wacker, Donghai Colorful Mineral Products, The Quartz Corp (TQC), and Donghai Shihu Quartz.
