Market Overview:
The global inorganic 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 chromatography silica gel. In addition, the growing demand for inorganic silica gel from other applications such as catalyst and rubber industry is also propelling the growth of this market. However, volatility in prices of raw materials may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On the basis of type, type Asilica Gel held a major share of the global inorganic silica gel market in 2017 and is projected to maintain its dominance duringthe forecast period. This can be attributedto its high purity level and superior performance properties over other typesofsilicon gels.
Product Definition:
An inorganic, amorphous solid that is a form of silicon dioxide, SiO2. It is obtained by the action of sulfuric acid on quartz sand or other silica-containing materials. Inorganic silica gel is used as a drying agent, an absorbent for liquids and gases, and as a fire retardant.
Type A Silica Gel:
Type A is the most common type of silica gel, which has a particle size between 0.2 and 0.4 mm and is available in white or colorless form. It can be used as an adsorbent for gases, moisture, & liquids under dry conditions or together with acids & bases in liquid form for separation purposes.
Type B Silica Gel:
Type B is a special grade of silica gel that has higher particle size and pore volume than Type A. The demand for Type B product is increasing in the global inorganic silica gel market due to its unique properties such as high surface area, low moisture absorption, and adsorption capacity.
Application Insights:
The application segment includes silicone cat litter, silica gel desiccant, silica gel catalyst, chromatography silica gel and others. In 2017, silicone cat litter was the largest application segment with a market share of over 40%. The product is used as an anti-freeze agent in lubricants and oils for vehicles & machinery. It also finds applications in manufacturing rubber products including tires and tubes owing to its high resistance towards oxidation (a process that involves the participation of oxygen).
Silicone cat litters are majorly used in domestic cats due to their high water consumption behavior coupled with their indoor/outdoor lifestyle. These factors have led to increased demand for silicone based litters which has further augmented the growth of this market over recent years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global inorganic silica gel market and accounted for over 45% of the total revenue share in 2016. The region is expected to witness significant growth on account of rapid industrialization, coupled with rising product demand from various end-use industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and others. In addition, increasing investments by multinational companies are anticipated to drive innovation and development of new products within the regional markets over the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe that accounted for a volume share of more than 30% in 2016 owing to high consumption levels from major end-use industries such as construction materials and automotive lubricants/coolants. The European market is characterized by stringent regulations regarding environmental protection which has led manufacturers to develop eco-friendly products incorporating lower VOC content along with superior performance characteristics compared to their counterparts across North America.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Inorganic Silica Gel from various end-use industries such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverages due to its properties such as high purity, thermal stability, and chemical inertness.
- Rising demand for Inorganic Silica Gel in Asia Pacific due to the growth of the automotive industry and increasing investments in the region's manufacturing sector.
- Growing use of Inorganic Silica Gel in water treatment applications owing to its ability to remove pollutants from water bodies.
- Increasing adoption of Inorganic Silica Gel as a desiccant agent owing to its superior moisture absorption capacity compared with other desiccants available in the market.
