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. Precipitated Silica industry have applications such as coatings, rubbers, adhesives, sealants, inks, and adhesives. This industry consumed about 37% of the global Sodium Silicate market and is estimated to dominate the market in the forecasted time as well. Precipitated Silica has numerous applications in the rubber & plastic industry, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and defoaming applications. Additionally, the industrialization and growth of construction activities will provide a thrust to the Sodium Silicate demand in the forecast period. The construction industry's growing use of the products for soil treatment, concrete refractories, and concrete strengthening is also helping the market expand. Moreover, the application of Sodium Silicate in the paper industry as an adhesive, as well as a stabilizer for pulp bleaching and as an additive for de-inkling recycled paper will further swell up the demand of Sodium Silicate in the forecast period. The global Sodium Silicate market is expected to reach a demand of approximately 14.5 million with a CAGR of 3.71% by the forecast period.
