Research analysis on the silica gel market in the GCC region identifies that the rising consumption of silica aerogel will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of more than 7% by 2021. Aerogel is the porous, less dense, dry, and solid part of a gel. The application of supercritical drying methodology eliminates the liquid component of gel to produce silica aerogel. Silica aerogel is gaining popularity because they have a wide range of properties such as low bulk density, hydrophobicity, low thermal conductivity, optical transparency, and high surface area. Furthermore, it also offers excellent sound insulation properties.
One of the key trends that will be responsible for the market's growth during the estimated period is the growing applications of allochroic silica gel. Allochroic silica gel is extensively used in various industrial applications such as power systems. For instance, they are used to keep the parts of a transformer free from moisture. Also, blue allochroic silica gel is most widely used in transformers.
