Silica Gel Market

Global Silica Gel Market Size, Share, Trends, Forecast: By Type: Indicating, Non-indicating; By Industry Vertical: Pharmaceuticals, Paint and Coating, Food and Beverages, Personal Care, Plastic, Others; Regional Analysis; Market Dynamics: SWOT Analysis; Competitive Landscape; Key Trends and Developments in the Market; 2024-2032

Global Silica Gel Market Outlook

The global silica gel market size reached approximately USD 647.65 million in 2023. The market is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of USD 839.73 million by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

Silica gel refers to noncrystalline and highly porous form of silica used for removing moisture from liquids and gases for imparting a dull surface to synthetic films and paints and for thickening liquid, among other purposes. The gel can hold and absorb moisture due to the presence of millions of tiny pores.

 

  • The expansion of the electronics sector is bolstering the requirement for desiccants, aiding the silica gel market growth. Condensation and humidity can cause permanent damage to electronic products resulting in huge financial losses for manufacturers.
  • Presence of stringent regulatory standards for ensuring the quality of medicines and other pharmaceutical products is providing lucrative growth opportunities to the market. Silica gel acts as a conditioning agent, anti-settling agent, adsorbent, defoaming agent, and stabilizer, among others, ensuring the safety and efficacy of the pharmaceutical products.
  • Increasing demand for footwear due to rising celebrity endorsements and collaborations with athletes and sports professionals is propelling the requirement for silica gel as it locks away the moisture, providing protection to leather shoes. Exposure to moisture can affect the tensile strength of the leather, making them easier to break.

Market Share by Industry Vertical

Food and beverage sector is expected to account for a significant silica gel market share owing to the ability of silica gel to enhance the quality and flavour of non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, and oils, among others. The expansion of the food and beverage sector is propelling the demand for silica gel by the food and beverage sector as silica beads have millions of microscopic pores that lower vapour pressure and increase surface area. This allows silica gel to absorb moisture from their surroundings. Due to the non-toxic, chemically unreactive, and non-corrosive nature of silica gel it is widely used in the food and beverage sector.

 

Market Share by Region

The Asia Pacific is anticipated to account for a significant share of the market in the coming years. This growth can be attributed to the rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical sector in various countries in the region. Silica gel is used for enhancing the shelf life of vitamins and medicines that are packaged in containers and bottles. It is made of non-toxic substances and absorbs the moisture of the packaging, suppressing the odour of the medicines. The increased requirement from power generation, media, and footwear sectors is further bolstering the silica gel market demand in the Asia Pacific.

 

Competitive Landscape

BASF SE, headquartered in Ludwigshafen, Germany, is one of the leading chemical manufacturing companies involved in the production of silica gel, agriculture solutions, and performance products, among others. The company was founded in 1865 in Mannheim, Germany.
