Fumed Silica Market to Demonstrate a Strong Growth over 2030

Pune, India, May 2019, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has Published a Cooked Research Report on the Global Fumed Silica Market.

Fumed Silica Market Highlights

The value of  Fumed Silica Market was valued at USD $989.0 million in the year 2019. With the immense growth and demand for fumed silica, the global market is expected to rise up to USD $1662.0 Million by 2030 with a CAGR rate of 6.8%.

Fumed silica exhibits thixotropic behaviours and has rheological properties, which makes it a suitable ingredient for manufacturing paint and coating. Pyrogenic silica is increasingly used to prevent rust and corrosion. Fumed silica is used for adhesives, sealants, coatings, toner, inks, food additives, cosmetics, and deformers among others.

Fumed silica-based adhesives, sealants, coatings and paints are in high demand in the construction industry and automotive industry. Hence, fumed silica has major application scope in these industries. Demand for fumed silica is on the rise partly owing to its cost-effective attributes. It is witnessing increased acceptance in various industry verticals. In addition, the product is finds application opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry. In terms of revenue, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to make a noteworthy contribution to the global fumed silica market in the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, the emergence of biogenic fumed silica is a major threat to the market. Inclination towards biogenic fumed silica can be attributed to the rising concerns over environmental degradation.
