Fumed Silica Market Analysis of Global Sales, Revenue, Share and Growth Rate to 2022

Global fumed silica demand is expected to witness a steady growth on account of its increasing usage as a thickening agent and anticaking agent. Cosmetics and paint & coating is expected to drive the overall market in near future. Fumed silica is an inorganic compound and consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica. They exhibit strong thickening effect. The fumed silica particles are non-porous and have high surface area with high density.


Fumed silica is produced through flame pyrolysis of quartz sand or silicon tetrachloride. These materials are vaporised in an electric furnace at a temperature of 3000 degree Celsius. Usage of fumed silica as a universal thickening agent is a major application driving the overall demand. This compound is used in the manufacturing of desiccant which is widely used to keep the surrounding dry. Further, its application in cosmetics due to its light diffusing properties has been driving the market demand in recent years. There has been a significant increase in cosmetics and personal health care products on account of increasing life style and expansion of the retail sector.

Usage of fumed silica in toothpaste as a light abrasive is expected to provide great opportunities for the market growth in near future. Toothpaste is an essential commodity in the retail sector and is globally consumed. Similarly, use of these compounds in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives provide lucrative opportunities for overall market growth. They are mostly used in paints for viscosity adjustments and also as filler in silicone elastomers. Government regulations and safety related to this organic compound offers a major challenge for the overall industry growth. Fumed silica is not categorised as a carcinogen either by OSHA, IARC or NTP. However, regulatory bodies have set standards for best industry practices. Fumed silica offers inhalation risk as they are easily airborne on account of its fineness and thinness.
