Industry Insights
❖The hydrophilic fumed silica segment is estimated to be the largest type segment of the fumed
silica market both, in terms of volume and value.
❖This growth is mainly attributed to the low price of hydrophilic fumed silica and its usage across
various applications, such as paints & coatings and inks, silicone rubber, and UPR.
❖Furthermore, the treated fumed silica also known as hydrophobic silica is water repellent and
thus, cannot be dispersed in water.
❖Hydrophobic fumed silica encompasses unique properties such as low moisture adsorption and
improved rheological behavior.
❖The pharmaceuticals application segment is expected to register the highest growth in terms of
volume during the forecast period.
❖Fumed silica is used as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. It improves the flow
properties of starting materials that are required for tablet and capsule manufacturing.
❖Fumed silica is also used for coating larger excipients and active ingredient particles.
