Due to the silicon fumes physical and chemical properties such as large surface area and highly reactive nature, they are used as a pozzolan in concrete. These properties lets the silica fumes be used in the mammoth construction structures. The silica fumes are added to the concrete in the required proportion. The silica fumes also don't allow the salts and their ions in, providing resistance. The silica fumes are available both in wet and dry forms.
The market for silica fumes was estimated to be worth USD 564.7 million in 2020 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% to reach USD 986.7 million by 2029.

"The Global Silica Fumes Market 2019-2029 (USD Million)")
The marine sector is the second largest end user of the silica fumes. Due to its anti-abrasive and anti-permeable characteristics, the silica fumes are used along with the concrete for the construction of the ports, shipyards and bridges.
The oil and gas are anticipated third largest consumers of the silica fumes. Due to its efficient provision of durability to the concrete, the silica fumes are apparently utilized in the construction of pipelines for the easy flow of lubricants and gas in the construction of boring and drilling wells.
During the manufacture of silicon metal and ferrosilicon alloys, Silicon Fumes are obtained as a by product. The silicon fumes are amorphous in nature. The silicon is obtained by heating quartz and carbon in smelting furnace. The silicon fumes which are released in the process are collected in a bag house filter. Ultrafine particles of silicon dioxide with a larger surface area are believed to be a primary composition of silica fumes.
The Middle East and Africa are the most fast growing markets of silica fumes. Developing economies and increasing construction is the driving factor for it. The developing economies such as UAE and Saudi Arabia are fueling the demand of silica fumes.
China and U.S. are estimated to be the next growing markets for the silica fumes. These two prime economies are most likely responsible to maintain majority share of the market resulting to increasing government expenditure assignment in infrastructural development and maintenance activities in the coming years. Also, Asia pacific and Latin America are also expected to augment the demand of the silica fumes. On the account of rapid industrialization and urbanization the market of silica fumes is expected to grow in the emerging economies such as India, Brazil, Indonesia and Malaysia.
