Furthermore, ensuring product regulatory compliance results in additional manufacturing costs and delayed market entry, which is making it challenging for new entrants in the fumed silica market to maintain competitive prices. In addition, top players in the fumed silica market account for the largest market share through captive consumption of fumed silica. This is making fumed silica market highly concentrated among top market players and Tier III fumed silica companies account for less than 10% revenue share of the market.

Ongoing US-China Trade War Makes a Significant Impact on China’s Growth in the Fumed Silica Market

The full-blown trade war between the U.S. and China, the world’s two largest markets for fumed silica, is influencing the prospects of the global market for fumed silica as many industrial applications of fumed silica, including adhesives, bore a significant impact.

China’s retaliation to the U.S. plans to take the trade war to a fever pitch has resulted in Chinese government levying heavy tariffs on U.S.-made products, including adhesives, which is one of the most common applications of fumed silica. Additionally, U.S. tariffs on Chinese aluminum and steel products have facilitated a shift from metal to composite/plastic in motor vehicle manufacturing, which is making a huge, albeit indirect, impact on the demand for adhesives.

As the U.S. holds a substantial share in China’s imports of adhesives, the effect of potential tariff escalation on U.S. adhesives and sealants may impinge on the U.S. fumed silica market growth in the upcoming years.
