Dublin, Dec. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Specialty Silicas Market - Products and Applications" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global specialty silicas market is estimated at 3.9 million metric tons, valued at US$9.2 billion in 2018.

Specialty silicas, also known as synthetic amorphous silicas, are synthetic forms of silicon dioxide (SiO2). Specialty silicas currently available on the market include precipitated silica, fumed/pyrogenic silica, silica gel, and colloidal silica or silica sol. Specialty silicas can be manufactured by two methods: a thermal (vapor-phase hydrolysis) process - fumed/pyrogenic silica, and a wet process - precipitated silica and silica gel. Colloidal silicas are stable dispersions of synthetic amorphous silica in a liquid, usually water. Precipitated silica is the driving force for specialty silicas demand growth globally, which is projected to record a robust CAGR of 6% between 2019 and 2025. Fumed silica demand is forecast to register the second-fastest CAGR of 4.8%, followed by colloidal silica with a CAGR of 4.7% and silica gel growing at CAGR of 4.4% during the analysis period.
