Active Calcium Silicate Market Rising With Growth In New Technology Trends Research By 2025
The global active
calcium silicate market size is
expected to reach USD 203.0 million by
2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing
demand from ceramic industry is key growth factor driving market. In addition,
presence of fire safety standards in major economies such as U.S., Germany,
China, India, and Brazil are further fueling the demand over the forecast
period.
Active calcium silicate is used as a
safer alternative to asbestos in high temperature insulation applications.
Industrial equipment insulation and grade piping is fabricated from active
calcium silicate. Moreover, major application segments include cement,
ceramics, paints & coatings, fire protection, and insulation. Due to its
superior technical properties such as low thermal conductivity and excellent
thermal shock resistance; it is widely used for industrial high temperature
insulation.
You might have seen the modern
homeowner looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but in
today’s age of rapid development, there is no getting away from the city life.
Through one reason or another, people are forced to live within the city
limits. So, what can one do if they cannot control the noise and the bustle
outside? Well, they can make use of acoustic insulation, for starters. Acoustic
insulation combats noise, external or internal, and improves the serenity of
your personal space. And what helps in this concept is active calcium silicate.
The global active calcium silicate market size was estimated at
74.0 kilo tons in 2016. Increasing demand from construction industry is
expected to be a major factor driving the global market demand over the
forecast period. Moreover, rising demand from passive fire protection and
acoustic insulation sectors is expected to positively influence the market for
active calcium silicate over the forecast period.
Active calcium silicate is special chemically coated calcium
silicate used in various application segments. It is extensively used owing to
its technical properties such as sound adsorption and high-temperature
resistance. It is widely available in the form of blocks, powder, and boards.
The key application segments include ceramics, fire protection, cement, paints
& coatings, and insulation.

A
Necessity In Today’s Day & Age
Active
calcium silicate is a poly-silicate compound that is produced by
making use of various raw materials such as limestone,
sodium silicate and hydrochloric acid. It is used in various
application segments, on account of its desirable technical properties such
as sound
absorption and high-temperature resistance. It is widely available in
the form of blocks, powder, and boards. Active calcium silicate
is a safer alternative to asbestos in high temperature insulation applications.
The key application segments include ceramics, fire protection, cement, paints
& coatings, and insulation.
The compound has a wide application scope owing to
its dynamic nature, and it is extensively utilized in the manufacturing of
acoustic tiles and wallboards to provide sound proofing and protect from fire.
Active calcium silicate market is primarily driven by robust growth in the
construction industry. The construction segment is one that has found rapid
growth in the developing and underdeveloped economies, while also growing
steadily in the developed ones. Construction spending in the United States
crossed USD 1.29 trillion in 2018, while the global construction costs as a
whole, are expected to rise on an average by 4.3% in coming years.
Construction
Sector - A Major Customer
Increasing
government spending on industrial, commercial, and residential construction
development has positively impacted the global market growth of active calcium
silicate. It is widely utilized in various application segments owing to its
characteristics such as excellent adhesion, intumescence, and fire resistance.
The construction industry needs to follow the regulatory standards that are
implemented by regulatory bodies like OSHA and NIOSH,
which ask for builders to implement additional security features in buildings.
Residential
building fires are still a major cause of death in the United States. According
to 2018 FEMA data, an estimated 379,600 residential fires took place in the country
that year, which resulted in close to
2,800 deaths. Moreover, such incidences also cause great
financial losses, and this figure stood at 8.19 billion in 2018.
As such, fire protection becomes a major task on hand for the authorities, and
the desirable properties of active calcium silicate in combating such hazards
has provided impetus to the market.
Market Scenario
Insulation segment dominated the
global active calcium silicate market owing to increasing demand from
high-temperature applications such as glass, petrochemical, and steel. In
addition, it is widely used in oil refinery, building walls, blast furnace, and
electric arc furnace in boards and blocks form. Use of active calcium silicate
is also important in the ceramics sector, which is growing at a rapid pace on
account of the emergence of 3D printing technology, as well as its application
in dental implants.

Europe dominated the global market in terms of
volume and revenue in 2016 and is expected to continue its domination over the
years ahead. Europe is followed by Asia Pacific, which is expected to witness
robust growth in the coming years, especially in the construction sector, with
economies such as India and China leading the way in regional infrastructural
development. The demand for active calcium silicate from various application
segments is propelled by a positive outlook from construction industry owing to
its importance in acoustic insulation, and presence of regulatory standards
imposed by various regulatory bodies.
Industrial
Developments
Several
industry players have enhanced their market presence across the value chain by
performing market expansion strategies such as partnerships, acquisitions, and
capacity expansion. In addition, industry players are focusing on manufacturing active calcium
silicate products within the regulatory framework to
accommodate needs from various application segments. Promat International NV,
Skamol A/S, American Elements Corporation, HIL Limited, Weifang Hong Yuan
Chemical Co., Ltd., Johns Manville Corporation, Bee Chems, MLA Group of
Companies, Ramco Industries Ltd., and 2K Technologies are some of the key
players operating in the active calcium silicate industry.
Some of the recent developments in the active
calcium silicate market include:
·
In January 2020, HIL Limited approved
the sale of their calcium silicate insulation products division, with the brand
‘HYSIL’
to be transferred into the hands of Calderys India Refractories Limited. Calderys is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the France based multinational company Imerys S.A.
·
In November 2019, Johns Manville announced
that it had signed an agreement that concerns the acquisition of ITW
Insulation Systems, which is known for its premium,
low-temperature polyisocyanurate foam insulations and metal jacketing
solutions. The company has four manufacturing plants (2 each in U.S. and
Canada). Through this acquisition, Johns Manville would be focusing on the cold
and cryogenics market.
·
In September 2018, scientists at Rice University
successfully developed micron-sized calcium silicate spheres which could
possibly lead to stronger, greener concrete. This work built
upon the previous project by the same team that developed self-healing
materials with porous, microscopic calcium silicate spheres.
