Increasing Usage of Silica Gel in Chromatography will drive Market Growth in North America

In terms of volume, North America is expected to be the second-fastest growing market for silica gel by 2025-end. To ensure consistency and good quality of food & beverages products, quantifiable trials while developing new products, and during current group production of various food & beverages products in North America. Chromatography has been an imperative method in obtaining endured and unadulterated food & beverages products. High utilization of silica gel in chromatography for research activities in pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals is expected to fuel demand for silica gels in North America.

However, high cost of silica gel, coupled with environmental regulations imposed by the U.S. government which govern usage of silica gel will impede market growth in North America.

APAC to Remain the Most Lucrative Market for Silica Gel

Asia Pacific (APAC) will remain the most lucrative market for silica gel, with sales expected to reach nearly 200 KT by 2025-end. The silica gel market in this region is projected to register the highest CAGR through 2025. Scope for packaging industry in Asia Pacific is rapidly growing, with small and big industries majorly focusing on their logistics. For protecting their products from moisture, they are using silica gel as a desiccant. In addition, electronics sector is estimated to be an emerging field for adoption of silica gel. With number of electronic enterprises growing rapidly in APAC countries such as China, India, and Japan, demand for silica gel will witness a surge in these countries.
