Global Liquid Sodium Silicate (LSS) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Sodium silicate is the generic name for a series of compounds derived from soluble sodium silicate glasses. They are water solutions of sodium oxide (Na2O) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) combined in various ratios, varying the proportions of SiO2 to Na2O and the solids content results in solutions with differing properties that have many diversified industrial applications.

Liquid sodium silicate (LSS) is a liquid, available in two forms: colorless, transparent, viscous, and light-colored, translucent. Liquid Sodium silicate is a chemical that is non-hazardous in nature. It finds application in a number of products across varies industries. This product, which is also commonly known as water glass, is high in functionality and uses. The biggest advantage being the deliverables its offers despite being a low-cost product makes it ideal for manufacturing processes. Sodium Meta-silicate is its most common variant that is applied across industries globally. This product is an excellent humectant, emulsifier, deflocculating, anti-re-deposition and more. Therefore, liquid sodium silicate uses are cross-functional and multipurpose in nature.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Liquid Sodium Silicate (LSS) market finds that the global Liquid Sodium Silicate (LSS) market reached a value of USD 1055.78 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1427.85 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.16% during the forecast period.

Liquid Sodium Silicate (LSS) Market Trends

Liquid sodium silicate is used in detergent industry to compound sodium disilicate, modified sodium disilicate and other detergent additives. Detergent particles gain firmness from the silicate coating. Due to cost and efficacy advantages, the use of sodium silicate as the deflocculant component of detergents continues to receive attention.

At present, liquid sodium silicate has been widely used in many industries such as detergents, catalysts, and papermaking. With the research on liquid sodium silicate by manufacturers and research institutions over the years, the production process and technology of liquid sodium silicate continue to grow, and it is expected that the downstream market segmentation applications of liquid sodium silicate will increase.

Over the years, due to the continuous growth of demand in the downstream application market, more and more manufacturers have participated in the industrial chain of liquid sodium silicate. In addition, in recent years, a technology for producing clean silica from rice husk ash has been used in the production of some liquid sodium silicate, which has further promoted the development of the liquid sodium silicate industry. It is expected that the liquid sodium silicate industry will develop vigorously in the future.
