In 2025, high-purity silicon dioxide (SiO₂), commonly known as ultra-pure quartz or electronic-grade silica, remains a critical material for the global semiconductor, photovoltaic, and fiber optics industries. The demand is primarily driven by the semiconductor sector, where high-purity SiO₂ is used in wafer fabrication, diffusion processes, and as a dielectric layer in integrated circuits. The market for high-purity silica has seen continued expansion in 2025 due to a rebound in chip manufacturing and capacity additions in major markets such as Taiwan, South Korea, the United States,
