Market Overview

For the Quarter Ending March 2022

North America

Zirconium Silicate market remained buoyant across North America region during this quarter owing to stable offtakes from the downstream consumers, coupled with soaring upstream value. As per the data, steep rise in raw material cost was observed, bolstered by rising upstream value under the influence of ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Furthermore, demand fundamentals for the product from downstream construction sector showcased significant pickup as a seasonal phenomenon. Sudden escalation of Russia Ukraine conflict disturbed the market dynamics of several commodity including Zirconium Silicate in the US market, as traders were uncertain about future procurements for Silicates. Thus, post these market hiccups, Zirconium Silicate was assessed around USD 3155/MT during February.

Asia Pacific

Asian Silicate Market showcased consistent hike throughout the quarter, owing to stable offtake from the domestic market coupled with rising production cost. In China, the prices of Zirconium Silicate continued to stay in an uptrend with a marginal increase of around 1% in the month of February. The initial production halts on the account of Chinese Spring Festival and Winter Beijing Olympics, impacted the domestic Zirconium Silicate market. Post the holiday break, the key market players witnessed numerous enquiries for the product which resulted in the positive base price revisions in the region. Also, the increased demand from the downstream Ceramic industry supported the price hike. The price discussions were assessed at USD 2779/MT for Zirconium Silicate Powder FOB Shandong in February.

Europe

In Europe, the price of Zirconium Silicate soared by average 2% during the month of February, backed by robust demand and constraint supply as the price of feedstock Silica was rising. The price of Zirconium Silicate powder was assessed at USD 3199/MT FD Hamburg. The prime reason for this surge in price of Zirconium Silicate was higher upstream cost as the prices of feedstocks as well as the upstream were rising consistently due to rising threat of inflationary pressure on Europe due to Russia-Ukraine conflict. Furthermore, the strong demand from end-use industries such as ceramic and enamel was also propelling the prices of Zirconium Silicate. Moreover, the last weeks of February witnessed a sudden halt in the supply of silicates owing to the disturbance across the Black Sea, hence further rise in the price of Zirconium Silicate was observed.

About

Zirconium Silicate is a widely used in daily life ceramic chemical, which is extracted through mining. At all temperatures, zirconium silicates powder is employed largely as an additive in polishes. Although Tin(IV) is more effective, zirconium materials are far more practical, as they are less reactive and more stable in reduction. Zirconium Silicate is soluble in Water, acids, alkali, and aqua regia. In nature, zirconium silicate is found as the mineral zircon. Zircon is a clear, translucent, or opaque mineral that crystallises in the tetragonal system and is mostly made of zirconium silicate, ZrSiO4. By fusing SiO2 and ZrO2 in an arc furnace or reacting a zirconium salt with sodium silicate in an aqueous solution, zirconium silicate can be produced.
