Fumed Silica Powder Market Report 2026

The fumed silica powder market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.58 billion in 2025 to $1.68 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to coating formulation requirements, pharmaceutical excipient demand, cosmetics growth, industrial powder processing needs, additive performance benefits.

The fumed silica powder market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.16 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advanced coatings demand, healthcare sector growth, premium cosmetic products, EV battery applications, specialty grade development. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for flow enhancing additives, rising use in high performance coatings, expansion in pharmaceutical formulations, increased adoption in cosmetic products, focus on ultra high purity powder grades.

The rising demand for construction activities is expected to drive the growth of the fumed silica powder market in the coming years. Construction activities involve building, repairing, or modifying structures such as buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. This increase is driven by urbanization, where growing population concentration in cities leads to higher demand for residential, commercial, and infrastructure development. Fumed silica powder enhances construction materials by improving strength, durability, and workability, making it suitable for use in concrete, sealants, and adhesives. For example, in April 2025, the United States Census Bureau reported construction spending reaching $2.15 trillion in 2024, up from $2.02 trillion in 2023. Thus, the increasing construction demand is fueling the fumed silica powder market’s growth.

Leading companies in the fumed silica powder market are developing innovative products like easy-to-disperse fumed silica to boost efficiency, sustainability, and simplify processing. Easy-to-disperse fumed silica is engineered to improve dispersibility, significantly reducing time, energy, and complexity in industrial applications such as coatings and adhesives. For instance, in June 2024, Evonik Industries AG, a Germany-based chemical company, introduced AEROSIL Easy-to-Disperse (E2D) fumed silica. This product enables faster and more efficient dispersion in coating systems, lowers energy consumption and production costs, and supports a more sustainable manufacturing process by reducing CO₂ emissions. It also offers improved handling while maintaining rheological control, making it ideal for high-performance paints and coatings.

In July 2024, HPQ Silica Polvere Inc., a Canada-based advanced materials firm, partnered with Evonik Corporation AG to validate the commercial potential of fumed silica reactor (FSR) technology. The collaboration aims to demonstrate the FSR’s capability to produce low-cost, low-carbon fumed silica that meets Evonik’s quality standards, advancing sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing in the specialty chemicals sector. Evonik Corporation AG is a Germany-based chemical company specializing in high-quality fumed silica powder production.
