The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the Key vendors operating in this market.

One trend in the market is growing applications of allochroic silica gel. Allochroic silica gel is the colored form of silica gel, which changes color upon absorbing moisture from the environment. The increasing use of allochroic silica gel in various industrial applications such as power systems is a positive trend seen in the silica gel market in the GCC region.

According to the report, one driver in the market is rising consumption of silica aerogel. Generally, an aerogel is the porous, less dense, dry, and solid part of a gel that exhibits extreme material properties. Essentially, silica gels are the pellets of silica xerogels, which are primarily used in the production of silica aerogel. Silica aerogel is produced by eliminating the liquid component of a gel by means of a supercritical drying methodology. Silica aerogel possesses a wide range of properties such as low bulk density, hydrophobicity, low thermal conductivity, optical transparency, and high surface area. It is generally used in the construction, textile, and electronics industries.
