It’s proven that the products including colloidal silver tend to stimulate the immune system which is likely to impact the demand in the forecast period.

“The nanotechnology to propel food preservation.”

Food science has an application of Nanotechnology in enhancing food safety and preservation. The nanomaterial creating space in the food industry at a faster rate is expected to offer more benefits to human health compared to conventional ones. The antimicrobial property of colloidal silver is being heavily used in the food sector and is proven to deactivate 99.9% of germs.

What are possible deterrents for this market?

The direct use of colloidal silver has been banned in a few countries due to adverse impacts of the respective government authorities like the FDA and EFSA. This is likely to limit the expansion of the this market.

Furthermore, the market has fragmented due to the presence of local and domestic players. The regional players have adopted a competitive price structure over the established players, which has eventually led to a war for market capture.

Lucrative opportunities driving the future of the market

The robust healthcare sector is prioritized by nations across the world. This propels demand from major countries such as China, India, and Brazil which is likely to foster economic expansion. The demand for quality healthcare is gaining a noteworthy trajectory which is likely to take upward growth in the nutrition and supplements market. The vendors preparing robust links with these manufacturers assist in broadening development prospects.

Regional Outlook

The colloidal silver market has been categorized into seven critical regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, CIS & Russia, Japan, the Asia Pacific excluding Japan, and the Middle East and Africa. The market has expected to register healthy growth during the forecast period, as the food and beverages, pharmaceutical, and personal care industry are growing across the globe.

The Asia Pacific excluding Japan represents a considerably high market share, and the market will grow at a significantly high growth rate due to the increasing population and changing food habitats to create opportunities for the food and healthcare industry leading to an expanding demand for colloidal silver.

China and India’s developing market is expected to impact the growth of the colloidal silver market positively. North America is a growing market due to the high per capita income and the consumers’ high expenditure on food and pharmaceutical products. However, Europe has restricted the direct use of colloidal silver in food products, which is likely to hamper the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.

Segment wise insights

Based on the particle size the colloidal silver of 5 to 10 nm is likely to gain the highest CAGR in the forecast duration. This small amount of element has proven to be effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal infections like diarrhea. The further sizes are likely to gain market share owing to application in the food and beverage sector and cosmetic industry.

Based on the form the powdered product is dominate the share at present which is due to widespread applications in the conductive pastes and electrical domain. The minor form of powder is used in the creation of contact in electrical switches and in multilayer ceramic capacitors to generate solar energy.

Based on the end-user industry the pharma sector remains dominant as the element holds a major share in the antibiotic segment. Colloidal silver is seen as effective for eradication of harmful pathogens which potentially leads to cures. The textile sector is second dominant in the industry where this product is used in fabric making for enhanced antimicrobial impacts.
