Nanosilica Global Market Report 2026

Nanosilica refers to an allotrope of silicon that contains 99% silicon dioxide. It is used to reduce cement volume while optimizing the grading of the aggregate mix in the smallest size range. Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust.

The nanosilica market, covered in this report, is segmented by type into P type, S type, and type III. It is also segmented by raw material into rice husk, olivine, bagasse, and others. Furthermore, it is segmented by application into rubber, health and medicine, food, coatings, plastic, concrete, gypsum, cosmetics, electronics, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the nanosilica market by increasing import costs of high-purity silica and disrupting global supply chains, particularly affecting pyrogenic, fumed, and surface-modified silica segments. Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe are the most affected regions due to their high production and consumption volumes. These tariffs have led to higher procurement costs and extended lead times, while also encouraging regional production, strengthening domestic supply capabilities, and promoting investment in advanced nanosilica manufacturing facilities.

The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion in high-performance construction materials, growing demand in medical and pharmaceutical applications, increase in electronics and semiconductor usage, rising adoption in sustainable and eco-friendly products, development of advanced coatings and composites. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use in concrete and construction applications, growth in rubber and plastic reinforcement, rising demand in cosmetics and personal care products, expansion in electronics and coatings applications, development of health and medical formulations.

The growing automobile industry is expected to drive the expansion of the nanosilica market in the coming years. The automobile industry, also called the automotive sector, includes companies involved in the design, development, production, marketing, and sale of vehicles. Nanosilica is utilized in manufacturing coatings, tires, and interior components of automobiles due to its unique properties, which enhance material strength and durability, reduce friction and wear, improve fuel efficiency, and provide UV protection and scratch resistance. For example, in March 2025, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based organization representing Europe's major car, truck, van, and bus manufacturers, reported that global car sales reached 74.6 million units in 2024, reflecting a 2.5% increase compared with 2023. Consequently, the expanding automobile industry is fueling growth in the nanosilica market.

Major companies operating in the nanosilica market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as nanoparticle-coated cotton fabric, to better meet the needs of their existing consumers. Cotton fabric treated with silica nanoparticles enhances the material with microscopic silica particles for improved durability, stain resistance, and moisture management. For instance, in September 2023, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, a public technical university in India, developed cotton fabric treated with silica nanoparticles that can effectively remove oil from oil-water mixtures. This research project aims to convert large amounts of agricultural waste into an environmentally friendly, value-added product to help mitigate marine oil pollution. The nanoparticles used in this project were synthesized from rice husk, an agricultural byproduct, serving as the principal raw material. The findings of this study may pave the way for constructing cost-effective, long-term solutions for separating oil/water mixtures or hazardous components from marine environments. This innovation reflects the growing trend of utilizing nanosilica in textile applications to address pressing environmental challenges.

In September 2024, Tratos Cavi, an Italy-based company specializing in the production of a diverse range of cables, announced the acquisition of AFL Telecommunications GmbH's German plant for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Tratos to enhance its product offerings, particularly in the production of fiber optic cables for various markets, including power utilities, rail, and oil and gas. By incorporating AFL's unique product lines and technical expertise, Tratos aims to bolster its market position and provide a wider portfolio of electrical and optical cables to its customers. AFL Telecommunications GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in delivering fiber optic solutions for sectors such as telecommunications, data centers, and energy infrastructure.
