Increasing Demand for Fiberglass from Construction Industry to Boost Global Silica Flour Market

Silica flour, also known as ground silica, is made by finely grinding industrial silica sand owing to the fact that this sand comprises high silica content. The small particle size, along with the very high purity of silica in silica flour makes its utilization extremely useful in a wide range of applications. The global silica flour market is primarily fuelled by the increasing demand for fiberglass from the growing construction industry. Utilization of silica in high-temperature cementing for the industry of oil and gas will be a lucrative opportunity for the market for silica flour in the coming eight years. However, according to a number of studies, occupational exposure to silica flour may lead to a number of autoimmune diseases in human beings. This may inhibit the growth of the silica flour market in the coming years.
