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.
