Market Overview (2016-2026)
The growth of the food packaging industry in the United States, along with the rising investments and innovations by the key players in the desiccants industry, is expected to be the driving factor in the growth of the United States desiccants market. Due to their ability to efficiently absorb moisture from the air, either by physical adsorption or by chemical absorption, desiccants are widely used in the food industry to preserve the freshness of food items and keep impurities away. They are also being increasingly used in the electronics and pharmaceutical industries, which is further anticipated to bolster the demand for desiccants in the forecast period.
Silica gels are the most widely used type of desiccant owing to their excellent absorption properties and low cost, which is further expected to lead to market growth. They find extensive usage across various industries, such as the food and beverage, paints and coatings, pharmaceutical, plastics, and printing industries, due to their properties. Moreover, it is non-toxic, inert, and stable in nature and can also effectively protect drugs from the damaging effects of moisture, further propelling its demand in the forecast period.
Industry Definition and Major Segments
Desiccants are hygroscopic materials that can absorb moisture from their surroundings, either by physical adsorption or by chemical reaction. Physical adsorption occurs when desiccants absorb moisture by trapping it within its surface or capillaries without changing the water characteristics. While chemical absorption occurs when desiccants absorb moisture and react with it to form another mixture. Desiccants help prevent goods from getting damaged by reducing moisture and thus reducing humidity. Desiccants are used in the transportation of food and pharmaceuticals, as well as in air conditioning system drying components and several chemical reactions.

Market Trends
The market is being driven by the increasing demand for desiccant in food and beverage and pharmaceuticals industries. Due to the exceptional absorbing properties of desiccants, especially silica gel, they find extensive usage in the food packaging and healthcare sectors in the United States. Desiccants are also increasingly being used by the domestic electronic manufacturers to prevent the impact of moisture on devices, which is further expected to contribute significantly to the market growth. Furthermore, manufacturers have developed high quality desiccants for pharmaceutical applications to help prolong the shelf-life of various oxygen-sensitive pharmaceutical products and thus remove the need for chemical preservatives and antioxidants in these products. This is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the United States Desiccants market in the forecast period. Moreover, there is also increasing use of desiccants in the chemical industry and also in air conditioning systems to increase their efficiency, which is further expected to boost the demand of desiccants in the region. Desiccants based on the process of chemical absorption are more effective than those based on physical adsorption. However, they are relatively costlier as well. This has led to comparatively higher demand for physical adsorption desiccants in the market, which include silica gel and zeolites.
Key Market Players
The major players in the market are Clariant Ltd., Drytech Inc, Wisesorbent Technology LLC, Multisorb Filtration Group, W.R. Grace & Co, among others. The report covers the market shares, capacities, plant turnarounds, expansions, investments and mergers and acquisitions, among other latest developments of these market players.
