The global fluorosilicic acid market size was US$ 389.4 million in 2021. The global fluorosilicic acid market size is estimated to reach US$ 598.9 million by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.
Fluorosilicic acid is a colorless, organic, flammable liquid with a strong odor. It is a by-product of the manufacturing of hydrogen fluoride and phosphoric acid. Fluorosilicic acid is generally disposed of by balancing it with limestone or lime milk to produce safe inert byproducts. The acid is commercially available as a 70% aqueous solution in chemically pure and technical grades. It is used to solidify pottery and cement, fluoridate water, and preserve wood.

Factors Influencing Market Growth

- The diverse scope of applications for various forms of fluorosilicic acid drives the overall market expansion.
- Fluorosilicic acid is used to remove stains and rust from fabrics, therefore a rise in need from the textile industry is expected to drive the overall market expansion.
- The rise in need from the textile industry is expected to drive the overall market expansion.

Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 severely impacted the overall market as the acquisition in treatment slowdown, particularly in some regions. Large oil, gas, and chemical companies are decreasing capital and working expenditures due to disturbance in the supply and demand chain due to the pandemic. However, as the COVID-19 limitation is getting normalized the need for fluorosilicic acid is anticipated to rise due to rising water treatment, textile processing, and oil well acidizing activities.

Regional Analysis

The Asia-Pacific is the world's leading manufacturer of fluorosilicic acid. China, Japan, South Korea, and India are the four countries that are home to the prevalence of manufacturing plants. It is anticipated to be the region with the highest growth rate, led by Japan and South Korea. Changing consumption patterns, quick urbanization, an increasing population, significant economic growth, and increasing per capita income are the major factors driving the overall market expansion in the region.
