Specialty Silicas NEW US industry forecasts for 2015 & 2020

This study covers the US market for specialty silicas, including precipitated silica, fumed silica, silica gel, silica sol (also known as colloidal silica) and fused silica. Also presented is a discussion of silicas by market, including cosmetics and toiletries, chemicals, rubber, coatings and inks, electrical and electronic equipment, plastics, food and beverages, agriculture and animal health, paper and textiles, metals and refractories, and others such as adhesives and packaging. Natural silica sand, fused silica glass, fused quartz and vitreous silica are excluded from the scope of this study.

Historical data for 2000, 2005 and 2010 and forecasts to 2015 and 2020 are provided in pounds and current US dollars unless otherwise indicated. The macroeconomic indicators used in this study were obtained from The Freedonia Group Consensus Forecasts dated April 2011. The term “demand” refers to US demand, sales or apparent consumption (including both merchant and captive consumption) and denotes US production plus imports less exports. Demand is presented at the manufacturers’ level. Tabular details may not add to totals due to independent rounding, and ratios may be rounded for the sake of clarity.
