Ceramics are being used more frequently, which will boost the market. Consumer spending power has increased as a result of the growing world population and rising standards of living, which has encouraged them to look for unique building materials for their residences. Ceramic is one such substance that has acquired popularity in the global construction business. It can be found in a variety of places in both residential and commercial projects, such as ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, washbasins, and kitchen counters. One of the essential ingredients in the creation of glaze and clay bodies is grounded silica. In order to give the melting or glassifying agents in ceramics the ability to fuse, it is added to the production process. Since ceramics have a rather high melting point, they are frequently fluxed with other materials such as amorphous silica powder to lower their melting point, which helps in maintaining the melting point of ceramics in an optimum range. Grounded silica also imparts hardness to glazes and decreases their thermal expansion As ceramics are gaining demand throughout the construction industry, especially in emerging economies of the Asia Pacific and Latin America, the utilization of silica flour is also expected to acquire considerable market share shortly.
