The global fumed silica market was USD 1.3 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 1.6 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period. Fumed silica consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chainlike, three-dimensional secondary particles, which agglomerate into tertiary particles. The resulting powder has an extremely low bulk density and high surface area. Its three-dimensional structure results in increased viscosity and thixotropic behavior when used as a thickener or reinforcing filler. It is of two types: hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Fumed silica is widely used and preferred for application in paints and coatings, cosmetics and personal care products, adhesives and sealants, printing inks, among others.
The fumed silica market has thousands of companies that thrive in their domestic market. A few of the major players are, Evonik Industries (Germany), Cabot Corporation (US), Wacker Chemie AG (Germany), Tokuyama Corporation (Japan), and Applied Material Solutions Inc. (US), among others. These players have adopted various growth strategies, such as mergers & acquisitions, and agreements, to increase their market shares and enhance their product portfolios.
