European Fumed Silica Market size is projected to reach USD 437.4 million by 2027, according to a latest forecast report by Graphical Research. A positive outlook of the unsaturated polyester resin sector and rising demand for beauty & personal care products driven by a shift in improved personal care practices are some of the key factors supporting the market growth.

The European pharmaceutical sector has been witnessing exponential growth and is likely to continue its robust growth in the future owing to research & development activities, technological progressions, and government funding. As per the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, in 2018, the European research-based pharmaceutical industry invested an estimated value of Euro 36,500 million in R&D. The top five pharmaceutical markets in the region include Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom. During the period 2013-2018, the nations accounted for 17.7% of the consumption of newly launched medicines. Therefore, the reliance of an increasing number of people on pharmaceutical drugs and rising investment in R&D activities will potentially trigger the sales of drugs in the upcoming years.

The health crisis caused by the outbreak of novel coronavirus has had an impact on every aspect of the regional economy. On one hand, several manufacturing industries observed a decline in revenue due to ceased manufacturing operations, reduced demand, and plummeted consumer spending power. On the other hand, the pharmaceutical industry witnessed an increase in research and development activities and registered a substantial rise in the production of other pharmaceutical drugs. Nevertheless, the financial aids offered by governments to revive the regional economy is expected to bring a state of normalization in the economy and will stimulate the demand for fumed silica from the manufacturing sector.

The hydrophobic fumed silica market will emerge as the fastest-growing segment during the forecast timespan. This category of fumed silica is recognized by low moisture absorption and excellent rheological properties. It is a treated grade of fumed silica and provides several performance benefits, such as reduced moisture adsorption abrasion & scratch resistance, sag resistance, thickening, and anti-settling in polar systems, reinforcement, corrosion resistance, and free-flow & anti-caking.
