Fumed Silica demand is propelled by Applications in Rubber Industry
Fumed silica, also known as pyrogenic silica, is an ultrafine, high-purity silica produced by flame hydrolysis of silicium tetrachloride vapor. It possesses characteristics such as low density, high porosity, and large surface area that makes it suitable for applications in industries like rubber, paints & coatings, food, personal care, and others. Key properties of fumed silica like reinforcing strength, controlling viscosity, and improving consistency makes it an important additive in rubber products like tires, hoses, gaskets, belts, seals. The global fumed silica market size is estimated to be valued at US$ 1.23 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Coherent Market Insights. Market key trends: The demand for fumed silica is majorly driven by growing rubber industry. Fumed silica is extensively used as reinforcement and viscosity controlling agent in rubber formulations including tires, indus...
