Introduction

High Purity Quartz is Quartz with 99.99%+ purity and is very rare. Mostly, naturally occurring quartz contains a varied range of impurities, among which contamination in the form of substantial elements. Thus, quartz with ultra-low content of these impurities commands a significantly higher price and is considered to be a High Purity Quartz. HPQ is used in a diverse range of special applications. The HPQ is commercially available in different grades, according to the level of purities.

On the other hand, Silica or Silicon dioxide, in its purest form, is used in different pharmaceutical applications. This high purity silica is commonly found in nature in the form of quartz & can be commercially extracted from different mining processes. The raw silica found & extracted through mining is processed further and can be used to synthesize different types of silica, such as crystal silica, fumed silica, silica gel, fused silica & synthetic silica.

Leading drug manufacturers are using silica for the formulation of excipients, which is driving the market for high purity silica products. Also, demand arises from quartz ware & glass manufacturers, which in turn, is driving the HPQ & silica for pharmaceutical market over the forecast period

The availability of very limited resources of quartz & development of substitutes for silica in the market may prove to be a challenge for the HPQ silica market as it deters the use of HPQ & silica for pharmaceutical applications. The HPQ & Silica for Pharmaceutical is expected to create incremental $ opportunity worth nearly 60,458 thsd US$ during the forecast period, while expanding at a CAGR of 6.3%.

Factors influencing the HPQ & Silica for pharmaceutical market growth

There are many factors associated with the collective growth of the HPQ & Silica for Pharmaceutical market. HPQ & Silica are one of the most adopted materials in the pharmaceutical applications. Newly developed grades of dental specialty silica, which provide very high cleaning to abrasion ratio, are widely being accepted among consumers and their increasing consumption is expected to drive the global HPQ & Silica for Pharmaceutical market at a high CAGR over the forecast period. High purity quartz is gaining adoption and traction in the formulations of dental filler and artificial teeth in HPQ & Silica for Pharmaceutical market.

Properties, such as effective safeguarding against foreign particles and contaminants, are working in favor of HPQ in getting traction in HPQ & Silica for Pharmaceutical market. Upsurge in patients suffering from numerous dental diseases due to increase in consumption of alcohol and tobacco and increasing cases of dental cavities are also expected to create significant opportunities for the growth of high purity quartz.

On the other hand, increase in drug demand will lead to demand for value added materials for the formulation for excipients & nutraceuticals. Fumed Silica is turning over as the material of choice in excipient formulations in HPQ & Silica for Pharmaceutical market. Also, demand for glassware & quartz ware for storage purposes is expected to further give a boost to HPQ & Silica for Pharmaceutical market.
