According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Specialty Silica Market by Product (Precipitated Silica, Fumed Silica, Fused Silica, Silica Gel, Colloidal Silica), Application (Rubber, Agrochemicals, Oral Care, Food Industry, Desiccants, Paints and Coatings, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” the global specialty silica market size reached US$ 7.2 Billion in 2023. Specialty silica refers to a group of high-purity, amorphous silicon dioxide materials with specialized properties and applications. It is distinct from common crystalline silica, such as quartz, and is produced through various manufacturing processes, which results in unique characteristics tailored to specific industries. It can enhance the durability, rheological properties, and anti-settling characteristics of paints and coatings. It is utilized in environmental applications, including wastewater treatment, due to its ability to remove heavy metals and other contaminants.
Global Specialty Silica Market Trends:
Specialty silica is used as a thickening agent, absorbent, and anti-caking agent in cosmetics and personal care products, such as foot powder, hair volumizing spray, setting powder, sunscreen, serum, face mask, moisturizer, primer, and face scrub. This, coupled with the increasing sales of premium quality specialty silica-based cosmetics and personal care products via e-commerce channels due to the easy availability and a wide collection of products, represents one of the major factors augmenting the market growth around the world. Moreover, specialty silica is employed in the pharmaceutical industry as an excipient in drug formulations. This, along with the surging prevalence of chronic ailments among the masses, is impelling the market growth. In addition, the rising consumption of processed and ready to eat (RTE) food products on account of rapid urbanization, hectic schedules, and expanding purchasing power of individuals is catalyzing the demand for specialty silica in the food and beverage (F&B) sector. Apart from this, the growing employment of specialty silica in agrochemical formulations to improve the flowability and efficacy of pesticides and fertilizers is influencing the market positively. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$ 11.8 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 5.4% during 2024-2032.
