Fumed Silica to Find Largest Application in Silicone Rubber

Silicone rubber is used in various industries including construction, electronics, adhesives, and sealants. Hence, with the increasing production of silicone rubber, the demand for fumed silica is also rising. Moreover, silicone rubber is also finding large application in the automotive industry to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emission.

Meanwhile, the automotive sector is also using liquid silicone rubber, particularly in windshield wiper blades to ensure flexibility and extend its life. With the increasing use of liquid silicone rubber in wearables and medical devices, manufacturers in the fumed silica market are focusing on designing high-structure and high-surface-area fumed silicone especially for liquid silicone rubber. 

North America is projected to dominate the fumed silica market. With the presence of major manufacturers and the opening of new production facilities in the region, the fumed silica market is flourishing in North America.

For instance, Cabot Corporation, a major manufacturer of fumed silica has planned to build a new fumed silica plant in Carrollton. This new plant will enable the company to meet the growing demand for fumed silica in various industries. Meanwhile, fumed silica market in China is also likely to see robust growth due to the rise in the application of paints and coatings.

The new research report by Fact.MR analysis the overall growth of the fumed silica market for the forecast period 2018-2028. According to the report, the market is projected to reach 4.9% CAGR during 2018-2028.
