H1 2023: During H1 2023, the leading producers of Sodium Silicate were Qingdao Dongyue Sodium Silicate Co., Ltd., PQ Corp., and Kiran Global Chems Limited. In March 2023, AkijBashir Group opened its very first Sodium Silicate Plant. The plant is located in AkijBashir Group economic zone, in Raimoni, Trishal of Mymensingh, and has a production capacity of 14.8 thousand tonnes per annum. Regionally, Asia Pacific held the position of the largest consumer of Sodium Silicate during H1 2023. Due to limited amount of product in the market, the sodium silicate market in Asia saw an inclined pattern in the first three months of 2023. There were expensive exports from China after the Lunar Holidays as well. The market for sodium silicate was positively influenced by healthy demand for sodium silicate by the downstream precipitate silicate industry. Although, from April 2023, sodium silicate prices continuously declined in China. In North America, Sodium silicate market witnessed bearish market sentiment in H1 2023. Due to weak demand from the downstream industries, the price of sodium silicate dropped throughout the first half of 2023. The product's price was constrained by the ample of supply and the low demand from downstream industries. Additional factors were the sluggish construction sector backed up by high interest rates and inflation in the US market.
H1 2022: During H1 2022, the prominent market players in the global Sodium Silicate market were PQ Corp., Qingdao Dongyue Sodium Silicate Co., Ltd., and Kiran Global Chems Limited. Although, PQ Corp., was the biggest global producer of Sodium Silicate in H1 2022. In January 2022, Asia Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd, located at Hangzhou, China, began the functioning of their plant at Zambia. The plant has an annual production capacity of 10 thousand tonnes of solid sodium silicate. Geographically, Asia Pacific held the position of the largest consumer of Sodium Silicate during H1 2022. The Asian market for sodium silicate remained stable throughout the period of H1 2022. It was backed up by the strong demand of the product and steady increase of the inflationary pressure on the producers. Product prices rose in China as the nation faced a hike in new pandemic cases, which led the government to impose stringent lockdown restrictions. Meanwhile, the Indian sodium silicate market remained optimistic during H1 2022 with fundamentals of demand for the products high across the Indian domestic market during H1 2022. Similar market trend was observed in Europe during H1 2022. Sodium silicate prices rose in Germany in H1 2022 due to high inflationary pressures and steady purchases from downstream industries, along with hike in prices of silica raw material.
H2 2022: In H2 2022, Asia Pacific experienced an interesting trajectory of Sodium Silicate prices. Sodium silicate price trends showed a steady decline in July 2022 to the end of August 2022 distributors in Japan and Vietnam market were influenced by the decline in the demand of sodium silicate in Asian markets. However, Japan saw the steepest price drop of Sodium Silicate than any other major Asian country in the first week of July 2022. As in other major Asian economies, negative market sentiment in China was observed and the prices of sodium silicate fell in the nation. Sodium Silicate prices continued to fell in the Asia Pacific region in November 2022. The Chinese market has impacted the price dynamics of sodium silicate. In addition, traders had sufficient inventory of products to meet all needs of the Asian markets. Demand for sodium silicate was moderate during the last three months of 2022, with a slight improvement in demand in November compared to October 2022. However, due to sufficient availability, the price of the product has not been able to register positive price movements in the Asia Pacific region. Although, sodium silicate prices in European markets faced a downward trend in H2 2022 as an impact of ample of inventory and the low purchase orders of sodium silicate in the region.
The global Sodium Silicate market has expanded to reach approximately 8.3 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.74% during the forecast period until 2035.

Sodium Silicate is a common name for a group of compounds which comprise of the formula Na2xSiyO2y+x and include various silicates including the sodium metasilicate. A combination of silica (quartz sand), caustic soda, and water when treated with hot steam in a reactor, creates sodium silicate. It is commonly named as waterglass, appear colourless and are readily soluble in water. Sodium silicate displays numerous properties like, stability at high temperature, resistance to acidic medium and basic medium. The industrial applications include detergents, drilling fluids, soaps, refractory cement, soil stabilization, zeolites, adhesives, and mineral processing.
The primary market driver for the global sodium silicate market is for the preparation of Precipitated Silica.
