Western European demand for specialty silicas exceeds $425m in 1991
Abstract
Despite recessionary years in 1990 and 1991, West European demand for specialty silicas has increased at an average annual rate of 8% per year over the past five years as detailed in a new study from Kline and Company. In 1991, total European demand reached $425 million for the eight silica products listed in Table 1. These silicas, which include both synthetically manufactured products as well as natural minerals, are used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer applications. Specialty silicas impart such unique functions as reinforcement, thickening or electrical properties to these applications and are not used merely as cost reducing fillers.
