Market World Sodium Silicate Market Analysis | Page 2

urban areas is expected to drive the sodium silicate market in near future. Growing exploration activities for
obtaining crude oil is anticipated to drive the global market over the forecast period. Further, sodium silicate
solution finds usage in the treatment of concrete and plasters. The Na2SiO3 solution reacts with calcium
hydroxide present in the concrete. This reaction results in permanent binding of silicates on the surface,
therefore increasing the durability and water resistivity.
The need for high quality and durable infrastructure in developing countries including India, China and Brazil
has been driving the market in recent years. Rapid urbanization has significantly contributed towards the growth
of real estate sector which in turn is expected to propel the sodium silicate market. Increasing disposable income
and improved standard of living has resulted in propelling the use of detergents and other cleaning agents. The
detergent granules achieve their ruggedness owing to the silicate coating. High demand from detergent
manufacturing companies is expected to provide bright prospects for Na2SiO3 demand.

Increasing raw material cost is expected to offer challenges to the overall industrial growth. It has been difficult
to maintain appropriate margins owing to ever increasing raw material cost. Some companies have been
undertaking backward integration and producing these compounds and therefore hampering the buyer-seller
relation. Moreover, development of substitutes has been threatening the Na2SiO3 market. Dyeing applications
have witnessed usage of trisodium phosphate and sodium carbonate as an alternative to sodium silicate. New
applications have been upcoming for this compound which is expected to provide significant growth
opportunities in the near future. One such application is in the waste water treatment. Na2SiO3 compound
sticks to the waste particles in water and makes them heavier. This forces the waste particles to sink to the
bottom and can be easily cleaned out. The compound finds application in the food industry as an egg
preservative by keeping the bacteria away.
The market is segmented on the basis of its application which includes detergents, pulp & paper, food &
healthcare, catalysts, elastomers, and dyes. Major end use industries include construction, coating, and
agrochemicals. The detergent industry consumes approximately one-third of the total sodium silicate produced
globally. Asia Pacific is the dominating region in terms of consumption and production. The dominance is
expected to continue owing to the presence of high presence of end use industries. Emerging economies in Asia
including China, South Korea, India, Malaysia and Indonesia have shown tremendous growth with respect to
real estate and infrastructure development. Concrete and masonry treatment application is expected to
continue its dominance in the Asia Pacific.
Regional demand is followed by North America and Europe on account of its application in the manufacturing
of detergents. Industrial cleaning agent manufacturing have been propelling the growth in developed
