Increasing Demand for Water Fluoridation to Augment the Hexafluorosilicic Acid Industry Growth
Based on application, the water fluoridation segment accounts for a significant share in the hexafluorosilicic acid industry. The demand for hexafluorosilicic acid for water fluoridation has been speculated to grow at a hefty pace over the forecast period. Hexafluorosilicic acid is used in public water cleaners to reduce tooth decay by controlling the fluoride content of the public water supply. Furthermore, it is used in the production of toothpastes to provide the total required amount of fluoride that is considered an effective component in reducing tooth decay, thereby accelerating product demand.The Asia-Pacific to Provide Enhanced Growth Opportunities to the Hexafluorosilicic Acid Industry
Region-wise, the Asia-Pacific is expected to witness a robust growth over the forecast period. The growing chemical industry in the region has aided the market growth. The Asia-Pacific hexafluorosilicic acid industry is led by China, India, and Japan. The hexafluorosilicic acid fabric treatment provides stain and oil resistance and durability, which is expected to accelerate the product demand in the textile industry. Moreover, the improving living standards, population growth, and the growing demand for clothing could further drive the textile industry growth in the region, thus, aiding the hexafluorosilicic acid industry.Hexafluorosilicic Acid: Market Segmentation
Hexafluorosilicic acid is an inorganic compound represented by the formula H2SiF6. It is a colourless liquid, especially encountered as a diluted aqueous solution. Hexafluorosilicic acid has a pungent odour and characteristic sour taste. It can be naturally found in volcanoes on a large scale. It is produced as a coproduct in the production of phosphate fertilisers.Market Breakup by Application
