Abstract
US demand to reach 1.2 billion pounds in 2011
US demand for specialty silicas is forecast to reach nearly 1.2 billion pounds in 2011, propelled by growth in fumed and precipitated silicas. In addition, gains will be fueled by advances in the electronics and rubber industries as demand for silicas used in chemical mechanical planarization slurries and silica-reinforced high performance automotive tires continues to rise. However, success in the specialty silicas market will increasingly depend on the development and marketing of improved products and new applications, due largely to market maturity and competition from alternative materials.
