The fluorosilicic acid market was valued at $389.4 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $727.4 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2022 to 2031.
Fluorosilicic acid is an organic colorless fuming liquid with a penetrating pungent odor. It is produced as a by-product of phosphoric acid and hydrogen fluoride. Fluorosilicic acid is typically disposed of by neutralizing it with limestone or milk of lime to produce safe inert waste products. Commercially, fluorosilicic acid is offered as an up to 70% pure chemical grade and technical grade aqueous solution. Fluorosilicic acid finds application in wood preservative as well as it is frequently utilized in a variety of processes, such as acidifying oil wells, fluoridating water in water treatment plants, and processing textiles, metals, and electroplating.
In addition, fluorosilicic acid is used in a variety of operations, including sterilization, commercial washing, rust removal and neutralizing agents. Due to its application in removing stains & rust from fabrics, there has been increased in demand for fluorosilicic acid from the textile industry. In addition, the expansion of the fluorosilicic acid market will be aided by factors such as affordability, high product quality and environmental friendliness, simple access to raw materials, and modernization of the manufacturing facilities.
The need for water chemicals is anticipated to rise as a result of rising global water usage and strict government regulations. The fluorosilicic acid market is also expected to be driven by increased industrial activity and growing consumer awareness of the importance of safe water sources for drinking water systems due to growing health concerns. In addition, the American Dental Association, WHO, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and other medical, dental, and public groups, including the U.S. Public Health Service are encouraging community water fluoridation, which is projected to support market expansion.
The demand for fluorosilicic acid will be driven by the growing practice of water fluoridation, which involves adding industrial-grade fluoride chemicals to the water to prevent tooth decay, as well as the growing consumer demand for natural ingredients in oral care products such as floss and mouthwash. Moreover, the availability of various types of denture products and increasing older population will increase demand for oral care products, which will fuel market expansion. Strict government restrictions to reduce water contamination and rising government spending on water treatment projects will further drive the demand for fluorosilicic acid. In the textile industry, fluorosilicic acid with a 40% purity is frequently used as a cleaning and pH adjuster.
However, fuming the property and corrosive nature of fluorosilicic acid may hamper its demand. Fluorosilicic acid is a by-product of the phosphate fertilizer industry, therefore it may be contaminated with radioactive elements and heavy metals which may act as a market restraint.
The fluorosilicic acid market is segmented on the basis of grade and application. By grade, the market is categorized into 25%, 35%, 40% and others. On the basis of application, the market is fragmented into water fluoridation, textile processing, metal surface treatment, hide processing, oil well acidizing and others. On the basis of region, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
