Fused silica Market Historical Outlook (2017-2021) Vs. Forecast Outlook (2022-2032)

As per Fact.MR- a market research and competitive intelligence provider, global fused silica consumption in the past half-decade has grown with a CAGR of around 5.0%. While global volume consumption by 2021 end stood at around 50 KT. Application which saw major consumption of fused silica was semiconductor. This is mainly attributed to the level of purity shown by fused silica thus making it fit to be used in semiconductor application.

Additionally, projections are that growing demand for electrical appliances and electronic devices will provide major thrust to the production of fused silica over next decade especially in high growth regions such as Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific being hub for semiconductor manufacturing is poised to infuse the demand for silica over next ten years.

Moreover, it has been estimated that fused silica consumption in manufacturing of optical parts such as mirrors, lenses and IR optics will find substantial increase. Owing to high optical transmission properties and low coefficient of thermal expansion, fused silica application in manufacturing of optical parts will increase multi fold.

Further, fused silica can withstand extreme temperatures of upto 1,200 degree Celsius which makes it suitable for deployment in applications such as solar cells, thus growing renewable setups globally is poised to boost fused silica sales in the coming decade.

Attribute to above discussed factors fused silica has been valued at USD 3,474 Million by the end of forecast period.

Why Adoption of Optical Fibres is Poised to Drive Global Fused Silica Market?

Working of optical fibre is on the general principle of total internal reflection. In order to get best results, optical fibres should be made with material which are able to carry signal sources with minimal transmission loss. Moreover, material used for manufacturing of optical fibres should comply with industrial specifications such as tamper proofing as these fibres are widely used in defence and banking services.

Fused silica tubes owing to its chemical purity and geometric tolerances are being preferred in manufacturing of optical fibres. Moreover, internet connectivity is on rise which calls adoption of optical fibres for fast services.

Attributed to above discussed factors along with rising demand for intern connectivity will drive growth of fused silica over the forecast period.
