Market Analysis

The silicic acid market grew to US$ 62.4 million in 2024, driven by industrial water treatment and pharmaceutical applications. It is expected to reach US$ 64.8 million in 2025 and create an absolute opportunity of US$ 32.4 million by 2035. Innovations like nanostructured formulations in China and AI-based quality control in North America support growth. High silicon dioxide costs (+22% YoY in 2024) and regulatory compliance challenges, particularly in Europe, restrain margins. The market is moderately competitive, with top players like Shree Sulphurics and Anhui Super Chemical focusing on regional customization and green production.

Segment Analysis

The market is segmented by form, function, end-use application, and region. Powder form dominates with a 68.0% share in 2025 due to its handling ease in water treatment and agrochemicals. Adsorbents hold a 37.0% share, valued for moisture control in pharmaceuticals and electronics. Agrochemical manufacturing leads end-use applications with a 44.7% share, driven by silicic acid’s role in controlled-release fertilizers. China (4.8% CAGR) and Germany (4.5% CAGR) are key growth markets, while North America emphasizes high-purity grades for pharmaceuticals.

Country-wise Insights

The United States, within North America’s estimated US$ 20 million market in 2025, grows at a 4.4% CAGR, driven by pharmaceutical and agrochemical demand. China, within Asia-Pacific’s estimated US$ 25 million market, is valued at US$ 12 million in 2025 with a 4.8% CAGR, fueled by industrialization and smart agriculture initiatives.
