Fumed Silica is fastest growing segment fueling the growth of Fumed Silica Market

Fumed silica, also known as pyrogenic silica, is a highly branched, three-dimensional spherical structure consisting of atmospherically generated amorphous silica

The global Fumed Silica Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.23 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:
Fumed silica, also known as pyrogenic silica, is a highly branched, three-dimensional spherical structure consisting of atmospherically generated amorphous silica. It is used as a reinforcing and thickening additive in sealants and adhesives owing to its large surface area and light weight.

Market key trends:
The rapidly growing paints & coatings industry across the globe is the major factor driving growth of the fumed silica market. Paints & coatings make significant use of fumed silica as reinforcing and thickening additive for achieving better gloss retention, water resistance, corrosion resistance and durability of the coatings. Additionally, growing demand from personal care industry is another major trend. Fumed silica is used as an abrasive agent and thickening agent in various personal care products such as toothpastes, shaving gels, skin care creams owing to its water retaining and oil absorbing properties.

Segment Analysis
Fumed Silica is segmented into hydrophilic and hydrophobic sub segments. Hydrophilic fumed silica dominates the market and accounts for over 70% of overall demand. It is used in industries like paints & coatings, unsaturated polyester resins, silicone rubber and adhesives & sealants due to ability to absorb water, reduce surface tension and enhance viscosity.

Key Takeaways
