Market Overview:
The global food grade silica gel market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The market growth is attributed to the increasing demand for silicone cat litter, silica gel desiccant, and silica gel catalyst across the globe. Silicone cat litter is used as an absorbent material in pet care products as it helps in controlling odor and moisture. It also prevents the growth of bacteria and fungus, which makes it an ideal choice for pet owners. Silica gel desiccant is used in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food & beverage, and electronics to protect products from moisture-related damage. It also helps in maintaining product quality by controlling the humidity level inside storage facilities or warehouses. Silica gel catalyst finds application in various end-use industries such as automotive & transportation, construction & infrastructure development, oil & gas production etc.
Product Definition:
Food grade silica gel is a desiccant that is used to control the humidity levels in food products. It helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, and it also extends the shelf life of food products.
Fine-Pored Silica Gel (Type A):
The market for Fine-Pored Silica Gel (Type A) is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its increasing demand in food & beverage applications. The product has a high demand as it can retain moisture, inhibit microbial growth and has a low surface area.
Silica gel exhibits superior properties such as adsorption, absorption and desorption of gases; prevention of gas evolution during storage; protection from oxidation; inhibition of enzyme activity.
Mesoporous Silica Gel (Type B):
Mesoporous silica gel is a type of porous and hollow solid material that consists of interconnected micro-channels. The pore structure of the product allows water to permeate through the material, however, it cannot be absorbed. It has superior adsorption properties as compared to other conventional materials such as activated carbon and clay.
Application Insights:
The application of food grade silica gel is Silicone Cat Litter, Silica Gel Desiccant, Silica Gel Catalyst and Other. In 2017, the Others segment dominated the global market in terms of revenue share and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for specialty chemicals from various industries such as pharmaceuticals & biotechnology.
Silicones are used in a variety of end-use industries including construction materials (pipes & cables), automotive components (tyres), medical devices, footwear soles/liners, textiles coatings etc., which are further utilized or recycled through secondary processing into derived products that find new applications or utilize less raw material thereby reducing environmental impact. This concept is also applicable towards food grade silicones wherein they are utilized minimally as compared to their industrial counterparts owing to inherent properties such as water repellence and flexibility which makes them suitable for use in kitchenware coating utensils etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global food grade silica gel market in terms of revenue with a share of over 60% in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising product demand from various end-use industries, such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and food & beverages. Increasing population coupled with rising disposable income has led to an increase in consumer spending on food products and related services, which is anticipated to drive industry growth over the coming years.
The growing manufacturing sector along with increasing foreign investments are projected to boost chemical production across Asia Pacific countries including China, India and Japan thereby driving product demand across these regions. In addition, favorable government regulations aimed at promoting domestic consumption especially for key commodities like rice are likely to propel regional market development during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for food grade silica gel from the food and beverage industry as a result of its properties such as moisture absorption, adsorption, and desiccation.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of food grade silica gel among consumers, which is expected to boost its demand in the near future.
- Growing popularity of packaged and processed foods due to busy lifestyles is projected to fuel the growth of Food Grade Silica Gel market over the forecast period.
- Proliferation of e-commerce platforms that offer a wide range of food grade silica gel products is anticipated to create new opportunities for this market in the coming years.
