India's colloidal silicon dioxide market remained under downward pressure during the last week of June 2026 due to weak downstream demand, ample import availability, and comfortable inventories. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, the largest consumers, limited purchases to immediate needs after earlier stockpiling, while distributors adopted cautious procurement strategies. Although demand from electronics, semiconductors, and food processing remained steady, it was insufficient to offset weakness in the pharmaceutical sector. Stable sodium silicate supply and uninterrupted imports from China maintained ample availability, encouraging competitive pricing.
