Market Overview:
Sodium Silicate Market Segmentation by Form (Crystalline and Anhydrous); by Type (Liquid and Solid); by Grade (Neutral and Alkaline); by Application (Adhesives, Detergents, Paints, Catalysts, Refractories, Tube Winding, and Others); by End-User (Automotives, Pulp & Paper, Construction, and Others)-Global Demand Analysis and Opportunity Outlook 2031
Global Sodium Silicate Market Highlights over 2022-2031
The global sodium silicate market was valued at approximately USD 8 billion in 2021 and is estimated to further grow at a CAGR of 3% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022-2031. Sodium silicate is a colorless compound, usually found in the solid and liquid state, or as a white powder, that is soluble in water in any amount. It is most commonly used in detergents, soaps, water treatment, toothpaste, ceramics, in the synthesis of silica gel, and in various other applications. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for detergents worldwide and the growing use of sodium silicate in various end-user applications. The wide availability and cost-effective nature of sodium silicate are further driving the growth of the market.

However, too much human contact with chemical compounds can lead to several health risks. Harmful effects of sodium silicate products on health and wavering prices of the products are restraining the market growth.
COVID-19 hampered the growth of the market in various sectors. The global sodium silicate market witnessed both positive and negative impacts. The growth of the sodium silicate market is dependent on the growth of the verticals using sodium silicate. One such example of a vertical is the pulp & paper industry. As there were worldwide restrictions and lockdown, it was difficult for the manufacturers of the pulp & paper industry to get the raw materials. Hence, the industry slowed down resulting in a negative impact on the sodium silicate market. On the other hand, the detergent industry flourished during the pandemic owing to increased awareness about hygiene and sanitation.
The market is segmented by type into liquid and solid, out of which, the liquid segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period on the back of its use in various applications as it is low in cost and hence, widely preferred by the manufacturers and consumers. Furthermore, key characteristics, such as solubility, non-toxicity, and environmental friendly nature are also propelling the growth of the segment.
By application, the market is segmented into adhesives, detergents, paints, catalysts, refractories, tube winding, and others, out of which, the detergent segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market over the forecast period owing to the amazing properties of sodium silicate, such as emulsification, wetting, and deflocculating. It helps in the effective removal of dirt, making the detergent a preferred choice in a wide range of applications.
Global Sodium Silicate Market Regional Synopsis
Regionally, the global sodium silicate market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa region. Asia-Pacific holds the largest share of the market owing to the enhanced socio-economic factors, infrastructural developments, and presence of key players in the market. However, during the forecast period, the market in North America is estimated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 5%. The growth of the market in the region can be attributed to the presence of a large number of detergents manufacturing companies, and the growing pulp & paper industry. Moreover, a growing number of activities that utilize sodium silicate, such as tube winding, water treatment, construction, and others, in the region are further expected to accelerate the growth of the market.
