Nano Silica Market Overview
Silicon dioxide nanoparticles, also known as silica nanoparticles or nanosilica, are the foundation for many biomedical research due to their stability, low toxicity, and ability to be functionalized with a variety of chemicals and polymers. Nanosilica particles are classified into P-type and S-type based on their structure.
The P-type particles are distinguished by many nanopores with a pore rate of 0.61 ml/g and better UV reflectivity than the S-type particles; the latter also has a lower surface area. Nanosilica are the world’s second most manufactured nanomaterial.
As a result, various research articles published in recent decades have focused on nanosilica’s possible usefulness in a variety of industries, as well as its potential toxicity. The industry is mainly influenced by several elements including rising construction sector, increasing demand in coating & paints, growing adoption in rubber & plastics, application in biomedical and pharmaceutical sector and many others.
- As per the Press Information Bureau, India’s pharmaceutical market for FY 2023-24 is valued at USD 50 billion with domestic consumption valued at USD 23.5 billion and export valued at USD 26.5 billion. India’s pharma industry is considered to be the world’s third largest by volume and 14th in terms of value of production.
- According to the Construction Industry Development Council, India’s construction industry employs a work force of nearly 32 million and its market size is worth about Rs. 2,48,000 crores. It is the second largest contributor to the GDP after the agricultural sector.
Nano Silica Market Growth Factors
Rising Construction Activities Drives Market Growth
Silica sand is used to make a wide variety of building and construction products. Whole-grain silica is utilized in flooring, mortars, specialty cement, roofing shingles, asphalt mixes, skid-resistant surfaces, and other industrial products because of its exceptional endurance and structural integrity.
As construction activity has expanded globally, so too has the demand for silica sand. Egypt is preparing to build a new capital city to breathe new life into Cairo, which is suffocated by its growing population and the strain on its existing infrastructure.
The Republic of South Africa’s Department of Trade, Industry, and Competition reports that South African households have increased their spending on built-in home appliances and furniture. People spent more time at home during COVID lockdowns, which made this tendency especially noticeable. Retail sales of appliances and home furnishings increased by an average of 9.9%.
Increasing Demand For Nanotechnology In Various Application
Many sectors, including cementitious admixtures, concrete, coatings, and the rubber sector, find usage for amorphous silica powder, sometimes known as nano silica. Silicates and other cementitious materials derived from nano silica and other silica nanoparticles help to enhance their properties.
Nano silica is used to make natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, ethylene acrylic rubber, and silicone rubber, thereby improving their mechanical properties like tensile strength and heat resistance. Nano silica is an ideal coating agent with specific characteristics including its huge surface area, mesoporous structure with a hexagonal pore structure, and non-porous shape that enhances coating performance and lifetime.
Nano Silica Market Challenge
Competition From Alternatives
Several sectors rely on silica sand as a raw material, including frac sand, glass manufacture, foundry and metal casting, construction, ceramics, and refractories. Frac sand accounts for the majority of this utilization. Other things may be used in place of silica sand for other purposes. Ceramic proppants compete with frac sand in oil and gas applications and are the major substitute.
For example, demand for ceramic proppants is increasing due to its superior properties over frac sand and other proppants, such as resistance to higher pressures. Although the ceramic proppants are very expensive, various manufacturing method use them such as hydraulic fracturing applications. In the coming years, demand for ceramic proppants is expected to rise as R&D activity on ceramic proppants expand.
One of the most important factors influencing well production is scale accumulation, which stops shale from flowing freely down the channels. Many studies are being conducted on ceramic proppants to limit or lessen scale buildup during production, which can perform at high pressures and temperatures, among other qualities.
Nano Silica Market Segmentation Analysis
By Product:
The P-Type segment is expected to dominate the market. The UV reflectance of these variations is higher. They are useful for improving material performance in a variety of industries, including construction, because of their qualities. P-type nanosilica improves the engineering qualities of concrete, making it an excellent additive.
It boosts strength, improves durability against sulfate and acidic water attacks, and reduces thermal cracking brought on by the heat of cement hydration.
Besides, the Type III segment growing at a rapid rate. These particles are used as a stable, non-toxic platform for biomedical applications; however, they have a smaller surface area than P-type particles. In the medical field, these are used in wound healing, medication delivery systems, and diagnostic instruments.
The material is preferred for medicines and medical devices due to its biocompatibility and capacity to enhance drug efficacy. Nanosilica is preferred in the building sector because of its low volatile organic content (VOC). When applied to coatings, Type III Nanosilica improves the strength, durability, self-healing properties, and air purification of concrete.
By Application:
The rubber segment is expected to dominate the market because nanosilica improves the characteristics of materials. It enhanced rubber reinforcing, durability, and wear and tear resistance because to its wide surface area and small particle size.
The demand for rubber products was mostly driven by the automotive industry. The main advantages of using nanosilica-enhanced rubber compositions in tires, gaskets, and seals were increased fuel efficiency, decreased rolling resistance, and improved tire performance.
Besides, the coatings segment growing at a rapid rate. because of the growing need for nanocoating in the automotive, medical, and aviation sectors. The material was a perfect addition to many coating formulations due to its capacity to improve resistance to abrasion, moisture, and UV damage.
For example, nanosilica’s biocompatibility and capacity to enhance material qualities with durability and wear resistance were advantageous for coatings used in medical equipment, wound healing, and diagnostic tools.
