Fumed silica (SiO2) is a white powder chemically synthesized by the pyrolysis method wherein silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) reacts with oxygen (O2) in a flame. It helps enhance the thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of adhesives, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Consequently, it is employed in the food and beverage (F&B), personal care, construction, and chemical industries across the globe.
Fumed Silica Market Trends:
The thriving automotive sector represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Besides this, there is an increase in the use of SiO2 as a flow additive for powder coatings worldwide. In addition, it is utilized as a desiccant, stabilizer, and thickening and anti-caking agent in pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, paints, and sealants. Apart from this, SiO2 is employed as a reinforcing agent in the manufacturing of silicone elastomers to increase toughness, hardness, tensile strength, and resistance against tear and abrasion. These elastomers are used in electrical insulation as sheets, tapes, wires and cable coverings, and extruded sleeving and moldings. Furthermore, the gelling process in conventional gel electrolytes, such as non-thixotropic gels, is permanent and non-reversible, which does not allow gels to adapt to changes in batteries. However, the gelling process of SiO2 is reversible on account of its thixotropic properties. As a result, it finds extensive applications in commercial lead-acid batteries to form a gel. Moreover, as it is more cost-effective than its substitutes, the demand for SiO2 is rising around the world. Some of the other factors, including rapid industrialization and the increasing focus of leading players on research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to fuel the growth of the market in the upcoming years.

The global fumed silica market was valued at US$ 1.3 Billion in 2023.
We expect the global fumed silica market to exhibit a CAGR of 4.59% during 2024-2032.
The growing applications of fumed silica as a desiccant, stabilizer, and thickening and anti-caking agent, in pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, paints, etc., are primarily driving the global fumed silica market.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations resulting in the temporary closure of numerous end-use industries for fumed silica.
Based on the type, the global fumed silica market can be categorized into hydrophilic fumed silica and hydrophobic fumed silica, where hydrophilic fumed silica exhibits clear dominance in the market.
Based on the application, the global fumed silica market has been segmented into silicone elastomers, paints, coatings and inks, adhesives and sealants, UPR and composites, and others. Among these, silicone elastomers currently represent the largest market share.
Based on the end use industry, the global fumed silica market can be bifurcated into building and construction, electrical and electronics, automotive and transportation, personal care and beauty, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and others. Currently, the building and construction industry accounts for the majority of the total market share.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America, where Asia-Pacific currently dominates the global market.
Some of the major players in the global fumed silica market include AGSCO Corp., AMS Applied Material Solutions, Cabot Corporation, Chifeng Shengsen Silicon Technology Development Co. Ltd., China National Bluestar (Group) Co. Ltd. (China National Chemical Corporation), Evonik Industries AG, Gelest Inc. (Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), Heraeus Holding, Kemitura A/S, OCI Company Ltd., Tokuyama Corporation, and Wacker Chemie AG.
