In April 2025, the global fumed silica market experienced a downward price trend, mainly due to the following reasons:

• Decline in the Chinese Market: Amid escalating China-U.S. trade tensions, weakened domestic demand in China led to a decline in price expectations. (Source: ChemAnalyst)

• Sufficient Supply but Weak Demand: Despite ample availability of raw materials such as methyltrichlorosilane (MTCS) and silicon tetrachloride (STC), market demand remained sluggish, resulting in limited price fluctuations.

Despite recent market challenges, the global fumed silica market remains promising. By 2034, the market size is projected to grow from USD 2.0 billion in 2024 to USD 2.57 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 5%. This growth is primarily driven by the widespread adoption of unsaturated polymer resins across various applications, along with rising demand for high-performance coatings and self-cleaning materials.
