Market Overview:
The global spherical colloidal silica market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for spherical colloidal silica from various applications such as investment casting, catalysts, textiles & fabrics, refractories, polishing, paints and coatings, and others. Additionally, the growing demand for modified colloidal silica is also contributing to the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
A type of silica that is in the form of spheres. It is often used as a filler or thickener in products like paints, adhesives, and sealants.
Alkaline Colloidal Silica:
Alkaline colloidal silica is a highly hydrated form of silicon dioxide, which has been spherical in shape. It consists of an amorphous solid and a water-soluble polymer network. The product is manufactured by the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium silicate at pH 11.0 to 12.5 (2% to 5% solution in water), followed by evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure conditions (approximate yield of 70%).
Acidic Colloidal Silica:
Acidic colloidal silica is a highly hydrophilic polymer with an extensive range of applications. It has high surface area, low molecular weight, and is usually produced by the gelation of a solution containing sodium silicate (sodium metasilicate) and water. The product finds application in various industries including cosmetics & personal care, pharmaceuticals as well as in the food industry for gelling agents.
Application Insights:
The investment casting application segment led the global market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand from various industries including automotive, construction, medical devices, electronics and appliances among others.
Spherical silica is used as an additive in investment casting applications owing to its ability to reduce metal fatigue and improve part quality by increasing surface smoothness. It also has a negligible effect on Casting Performance Index (CPI) which measures overall efficiency of an investment cast part or system during its life cycle. Increasing demand for lightweight parts with enhanced surface finish is expected to drive industry growth over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The regional market is mainly driven by China, which accounted for a share of more than 30% in 2017. The country has been witnessing rapid expansion of its manufacturing sector, particularly automotive and aerospace, owing to strong economic growth resulting from increased foreign investments coupled with supportive government policies such as “Made In China†initiative launched by the Chinese Government.
The presence of key automobile manufacturers including Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Motor Corporation Limited; FAW Group Co., Ltd.; Havalon Holdings Inc.; JAC Motors LLC; Maserati S.p.A.; Peugeot Citro©n SAS; Roewe Maybach Land Rover AG; Shaanxi Yanshan Autonomous Region Industry & Commerce (Group) Corp.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as paints & coatings, adhesives, sealants, and composites is expected to drive the growth of the spherical colloidal silica market over the forecast period.
- Rising demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in automotive and aerospace applications is also projected to fuel the growth of this market in the near future.
- Growing awareness about benefits of using spherical colloidal silica over other traditional fillers is another key factor that is anticipated to propel its demand in various end-use industries during the forecast period.
- Stringent environmental regulations regarding VOC emissions are likely to create opportunities for manufacturers of spherical colloidal silica products over the next few years. 5) The increasing use of nanotechnology across a wide range of industrial applications is also expected to boost demand for spherical colloidal silica in coming years
