Few Global Players Dominate the Market despite the Presence of about ~200 Competitors Comprising a Large Number of Country-Niche Players and Some Specialist Players, finds a recent market study on the Global Specialty Silica Market by Ken Research
Specialty silica is manufactured in the form of round pebbles or fine powders and is further used as key additives in the formulation of several products for various end-use industries such as automotive, electronics, inks, coatings, and personal care products. Silica is a compound of silicon and oxygen (SiO2), two of the most common elements in the earth’s crust. Silicon dioxide occurs naturally as agate, sand, quartz, cristobalite, and flint. It is one of the major constituents of dental porcelain, and in granular form serves as a dental abrasive and polishing agent.
