Regional Insights
Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific is the dominant region in the nanosilica market. This region is also anticipated to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. Countries such as China, Japan, India, and others have significant contributions to the growth of the nanosilica market in the region. Key factors for the growth of building and construction activity, agriculture practices, the paint, and coatings industry, and the growing automotive sector have surged the demand for nanosilica.
Furthermore, the building & construction, sector is one of the booming sectors in the US. For instance, according to a report published by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the year June 2022, the privately owned housing units authorized by building permits in May were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,695,000 is 0.2% above the May 2021 rate. Owing to such factors the demand for nanosilica has increased. Thenanosilica is used in the building and construction activity for cementitious admixtures in concrete to deploy improved load carrying capacity. Since nano silica is extremely fine, it helps to strengthen the microstructure of the cementitious matrix as a result of its pozzolanic activity.
Moreover, China is the topmost producer of vehicles in the world where nanosilica are widely employed as an antimicrobial coating for interior roof panels, and other automotive parts as a glassifying agent and anti-corrosion agent which propel the market growth. In addition, countries such as Japan and Taiwan are constantly engaged in expanding their electrical & automation manufacturing output where nanosilica are widely employed as a protecting material in various electrical & electronic products. For instance, according to a report published by Hennessy Funds, Japan accounts for around 30% market for supplying factory automation products in the world. These factors are escalating the demand for nanosilica in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Europe region has shown considerable growth due to the strong presence of top automobile manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi, and Volkswagen which are consistently adding value by producing desirable and attractive cars where antimicrobial nanosilica are used in coating systems to enhance the aerodynamics of vehicles.
COVID-19 Analysis
The novel coronavirus is an incomparable global pandemic that has spread to over 180 countries and caused huge losses to lives and the economy around the globe. The nanosilica market has little impact due to the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to the rise in cases of COVID-19, implementation of emergency protocols and shutdown of various operations and facilities have been observed during 2020.
Due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the manufacturer has faced challenges in terms of operation and supply chain due to government restrictions during the lockdown. However, the nanosilica market faced several difficulties with material supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages, in 2020.
Furthermore, to control the surge of novel coronavirus cases, there is a drastic shift of investments from other sectors toward the paints and coatings sector. Also, several synthetic nanosilica product manufacturing companies have either shut down or shrank their operations due to the risk of infection among the workforce.
This has temporarily hampered the demand and supply chain of nanosilica market. In addition, the falling income of customers has led contraction in the demand for glasses, refractory materials, and others during the COVID-19 period. In the first quarter of 2021, the market for nanosilica has experienced an increase in the demand for nanosilica chemicals worldwide, compared to that in 2020. However, the reduced demand was neglected by the expanded requirements for ceramics and glass in newly developed medical infrastructure across the globe.
