The global Potassium Silicate market is expected to expand to reach from approximately 510 thousand tonnes in 2021 and to grow at a CAGR of 2% during the forecast period until 2035.

Potassium silicate is an alkali silicate with chemical formula of K?SiO?. Silica is dissolved in molten potassium carbonate to form potassium silicate as the final product. This process is known as calcination and occurs in temperature range of 1100-2300?F. It can also be synthesized in a reactor by using hot steam to treat a combination of caustic soda, water, and quartz sand silica. Potassium Silicate has fine properties which makes it an important component for manufacturing concrete. Due to solubility, miscibility, and dust resistance properties, potassium silicate is widely used for manufacturing of detergents and soap.

The primary market driver of Potassium Silicate is the Construction Industry. The underlying reason is that adding potassium silicate works as an excellent sealant and strengthens the concrete quality. In 2021, approximately 48% of global Potassium Silicate was utilized by the Construction Industry and is expected to dominate the Potassium Silicate in the coming years as well.

Based on demand across regions, the Asia Pacific is the largest consumer. This region reported to consume the highest percentage of Potassium Silicate market in 2021 held a market share of more than 50% in 2021. In the forecasted time, the market for potassium silicate is anticipated to be driven by the rising demand for potassium silicate in fertilizers and industrial applications in countries like India and China. North America and Europe stand behind APAC in terms of consumption.

Based on the end-user industry, the global Potassium Silicate market is segmented into different industrial sectors that include Construction, Welding, Detergents, Molecular Sieves, and others. The Construction industry is dominating as a consumer for Potassium Silicate market. In this sector, Potassium Silicate is employed as a binding agent in cement, concrete floor polish, and binder for coatings. Welding and Detergents industries also hold prominent shares of the global Potassium Silicate market.
