Earlier Report Observations

The market for crude and rifted mica sheets in South-eastern Asia expanded from 4.7 thousand tons in 2018 to 5.5 thousand tons in 2020. Early trade dependencies, with India exporting to key markets like China and Japan, supported regional supply chains.

After peaking in 2020, market volume contracted to 4.5 thousand tons in 2021 before recovering to 4.8 thousand tons in 2022.

In 2023 and 2024, rising demand from the electronics sector, particularly from Chinese chipmakers such as SMIC, and broader industrialization in the Asia-Pacific region highlighted sustained industrial consumption of mica for electrical insulation and thermal management.
