Increasing demand for desiccants in the US food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors is a major factor propelling the United States desiccants market growth. A desiccant is a substance with hygroscopic properties utilised to create or maintain dry conditions in its surroundings. It finds significant applications in sectors like foods, pharmaceuticals, electronics, packaging, and others. Silica gel's exceptional absorption properties have made it a valuable product in these sectors. The food and beverage industry accounts for 5% of the overall GDP of the country.

Further, its demand by US electronic manufacturers to mitigate moisture impact on devices also contribute to the market growth. In addition, notable research and development in the field of desiccants is supporting the market growth trajectory. For instance, the development of high-quality pharma desiccants to extend the shelf-life of oxygen-sensitive pharmaceuticals, reducing reliance on chemical preservatives and antioxidants, is expected to notably enhance the market growth in the coming years.
In January 2024, Mojave Energy Systems introduced its new state-of-the-art commercial liquid desiccant air conditioner, ArctiDry. Mojave Energy Systems is a leading manufacturer of novel liquid desiccant systems designed to change the nature of air conditioning.
