The global demand for Colloidal Silica Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD 2.25 MN by 2028 from USD 1.53 MN in 2021 with a CAGR of 5.7% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
Colloidal silica lowers the solubility and pH of the binder, reduces alkalinity, and helps paint be more weather-resistant. Colloidal silica is used in various industries, including building and construction, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and personal care, and pulp and paper. Colloidal silica is extensively used for electro-polishing to remove microscopic layers of metal particles from surfaces. Colloidal silica is finding important use in the electronics & semiconductor industries, wherein it plays an important role in manufacturing ultra-flat, uniform, and low detection surfaces for semiconductors.
Market Dynamics
The use of colloidal silica liquid as an active chemical ingredient in developing types of pharmaceutical tablets is considered a key factor for market growth. Moreover, the growing electronics & semiconductor industry is expected to drive the colloidal silica market soon. Also, paints & coatings and paper & pulp industries are expected to pave the way for market growth in the coming years. The rising popularity of green tires is estimated to amplify growth opportunities in the global colloidal silica market. In addition, stringent government regulations on the use of protective coatings have fueled the use of green layers in the automotive industry, which has benefited the colloidal silica industry. However, the high price volatility of the raw materials used in manufacturing colloidal silica may limit the market growth.
