Medium Silica Zeolite Market Report 2026

The medium silica zeolite market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.99 billion in 2025 to $2.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in refinery catalyst usage, expansion of water purification infrastructure, demand for adsorption materials, availability of natural zeolite sources, industrial process optimization.

The medium silica zeolite market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.85 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising environmental regulations, growth in clean energy processing, increasing gas purification demand, advancements in synthetic zeolite production, expansion of agricultural soil treatment. Major trends in the forecast period include growing use in petrochemical catalysis, rising adoption in water treatment applications, expansion of gas separation technologies, increased demand for selective adsorbents, focus on thermal and chemical stability.

The growing demand for effective wastewater treatment is expected to drive the growth of the medium silica zeolite market in the coming years. Wastewater treatment involves purifying wastewater by removing pollutants and toxins to ensure it is suitable for reuse or safe release into the environment. This demand is increasing due to rapid urbanization, industrial expansion, and stricter environmental regulations. Medium silica zeolite is utilized in wastewater treatment for the adsorption and removal of contaminants, heavy metals, and organic pollutants, owing to its porous structure and ion-exchange properties. For example, in August 2025, Surfers Against Sewage (SAS), a UK-based environmental charity focused on protecting oceans, waves, beaches, and wildlife, reported that in 2024, the UK experienced an estimated 994,499 sewage discharge incidents, resulting in 1,853 reported cases of illness and a total of 3,425 days of sickness linked to water pollution. Hence, the increasing need for effective wastewater treatment is driving the growth of the medium silica zeolite market.

Companies operating in the medium silica zeolite market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as sustainable zeolite solutions, to enhance performance and improve adsorption capacity. Sustainable zeolite solutions are becoming increasingly popular across various industries due to their eco-friendly nature, natural abundance, and effectiveness in water purification, air filtration, and green catalysis applications. For example, in October 2023, Zeolyst International, a U.S.-based chemical manufacturing company, introduced a new portfolio of sustainable zeolite products for multiple industries. The portfolio includes Opal Renew for renewable fuels, Opal Infinity for advanced plastic recycling, Opal Pure for clean air applications, and Opal Blue for clean water technologies. These innovations highlight Zeolyst’s commitment to advancing catalysis and adsorption technologies that promote sustainability. Commercial VP Lucy Innes emphasized the company's focus on collaborating with customers to drive environmental progress.

In January 2024, Zeochem, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of synthetic zeolite-based materials, acquired Sorbead India for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Zeochem aims to expand its presence in the Indian chemicals and pharmaceutical markets and diversify its product offerings, including molecular sieves and chromatography gels. Sorbead India, based in India, specializes in the production of zeolite granules.
