The nanosilica market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.12 billion in 2023 to $4.4 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for nanotechnology applications in electronics, the growing use of nanosilica in the construction industry, a rise in demand for nanosilica in the healthcare sector for drug delivery systems, stringent environmental regulations, and the adoption of eco-friendly nanomaterials.

The nanosilica market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.93 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of the automotive industry, the growing demand for high-performance coatings in various industries, an increase in research and development activities, the rising awareness and adoption of nanosilica in the energy sector, and a surge in demand for nanosilica in water treatment applications. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of nanosilica in consumer goods for enhanced properties, a focus on sustainable and bio-sourced nanosilica production methods, collaboration between industries for cross-application, the emergence of innovative nanosilica-based products, and a shift towards personalized medicine and diagnostics.

The surge in demand for nanoparticles in the medical sector has been a significant factor contributing to the growth of the nano-silica market. Nanoparticles are increasingly employed in diverse medical applications, including imaging, sensing, targeted drug delivery, gene delivery systems, and artificial implants. Notably, a recent study conducted by the George Washington (GW) Cancer Center highlighted the promise of nanoparticle-encapsulated doxorubicin in treating triple-negative breast carcinoma. This anthracycline drug, when encapsulated in amino-functionalized silica nanoparticles (SiNPs), proves effective in targeted drug delivery for potential carcinoma treatment. SiNPs can efficiently encapsulate doxorubicin and be coupled with a targeting moiety like anti-Claudin-4 (CLN4). Nanoparticles have shown utility in enhancing ultrasound imaging contrast, particularly in tumor imaging. The robust demand from the medical sector is expected to drive substantial revenue growth for the nano-silica market.

The burgeoning automobile industry is anticipated to be a driving force behind the nanosilica market's growth in the foreseeable future. The automotive sector, comprising businesses involved in designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling automobiles, extensively utilizes nanosilica in coatings, tires, and interior components. Nanosilica's unique properties, including enhancing material strength and durability, reducing friction and wear, improving fuel efficiency, and providing UV protection and scratch resistance, make it valuable in automobile manufacturing. For instance, in January 2023, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries reported robust automobile demand in Australia during 2022, with 1,081,429 automobiles delivered, where light commercial vehicles and SUVs constituted 76.8% of total sales. Consequently, the expanding automobile industry serves as a key driver for the nanosilica market.

Leading companies in the nanosilica market are strategically focusing on innovative product development, such as nanoparticle-coated cotton fabric, to better cater to the needs of their customer base. Silica nanoparticle-treated cotton fabric represents a textile material infused with microscopic silica particles, enhancing its durability, stain resistance, and moisture management capabilities. In a notable example, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati developed silica nanoparticle-treated cotton fabric capable of removing oil from oil-water mixtures. The nanoparticles were derived from rice husk, an agricultural waste, showcasing an environmentally friendly approach to value-added product creation with potential applications in addressing marine oil pollution.

Major players in the nanosilica market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to enhance the global availability of nanoparticles for their clients. This collaborative strategy involves leveraging mutual strengths and resources for mutual benefits. For instance, in March 2021, nanoComposix, Inc., specializing in silica-based nanoparticles, collaborated with BIOZOL Diagnostica Vertrieb GmbH, a German biotechnological company, to expand the accessibility of nanoComposix products in Germany and Austria, aiming to strengthen their market presence.

In July 2021, Fortis Life Sciences LLC, a US-based life sciences firm, acquired nanoComposix Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is expected to create synergies in the life science reagent market, combining nanoComposix Inc. 's unique nanoparticle products and rapid development services with Fortis's portfolio firms. The acquisition positions nanoComposix Inc. and Fortis to provide enhanced assistance to clients in the dynamic field of life sciences, with a particular focus on nanoparticles and their diverse applications.
