Nanosilica Market Report 2026

The nanosilica market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.54 billion in 2025 to $4.94 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to adoption of nanosilica in cement and concrete, growing rubber and plastic industries, rising demand in cosmetics formulations, increasing electronics manufacturing, use in food and coatings applications.

The nanosilica market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.34 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. 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.
