Emerging trends in drug manufacturing activities in tandem with the improving capsule and
drug performance characteristics are likely to stimulate fumed silica market demand. The
product is used often for drug manufacturing in order to enhance flow properties and
mitigate any issues pertaining to compaction or non-uniformity, the latter of which is a
common obstacle for the pharmaceutical industry.
The product enhances bond strength in capsules and tablets and aids in particle
rearrangement. Additionally, it helps avoid bridging and reduces friction and statics charges.
Industry growth is bolstered by the significant surge in pharmaceutical production,
stemming from the rising financial interest from pharma companies towards R&D efforts for
efficient drug manufacturing activities.
Based on estimates by a Global Market Insights, Inc. report, the worldwide fumed silica
market share is expected to surpass $1.5 billion over 2025.
UPRs or unsaturated polyester resins, when in their pure form, face a deficiency of viscosity
levels and thixotropic properties, which can be corrected through the application of
pyrogenic silica in the resins, Since these resins are a major component in the construction
industry and are used extensively for roofing tiles, pipes bathroom furniture, cladding
panels, pre-fabricated buildings and more, their demand across the residential, industrial
and commercial construction sector is expected to witness a commendable upsurge in the
years ahead, which will in turn augment fumed silica industry demand.
While the fumed silica market from the hydrophobic product segment is anticipated to
depict an appreciable CAGR of over 5.5% through 2025, the hydrophilic silica segment is
expected to hold a dominant position in the overall market over the forecast spell. This is on
account of its vast application potential, including as a thickening and reinforcing agent in
silicone manufacturing. Major factors enabling the hydrophilic silica segment to take the
lead in the market are its untreated nature and its ability to be dispersed in water, which its
hydrophobic counterpart is not suited for.
The paints, coatings and inks application segment is poised to surpass over 50 kilo tons
consumption by 2025. Robust development in the segment is largely due to increased
product utilization in enhancing the rheological and thixotropic properties of paints &
