Magnesium silicate, with the molecular formula MgO3Si, is a fine, white, grit-free, and odorless chemical compound, which contains magnesium, oxygen, and silicon. It is generally found in both natural and manufactured forms. Natural magnesium silicate, such as talc and forsterite olivine, is crystalline in nature, whereas the synthetic variant is amorphous and insoluble in water or alcohol. It is manufactured by the precipitation reaction between sodium silicate and soluble magnesium salt.
The global magnesium silicate market is primarily driven by its increasing applications in various industries. Magnesium silicate is employed as an emulsifier and anti-caking agent across the food and beverage industry. It is also used as an emulsifier, thickener, binder, abrasive and surfactant in cosmetics and personal care products, which are gaining popularity, especially among the young population. It is used as a dietary supplement, as a component of antiepileptic drugs, in topical antifungal agents, acne treatment and as a facial moisturizer in the pharmaceutical industry. It also finds application as a purifying absorbent, filler, filter medium, and catalyst carrier. Besides this, magnesium silicate is also utilized as a purifying absorbent and filler in the rubber, ceramics, and glass industry. Various government and international regulatory bodies are also implementing several initiatives to allow anti-caking agents, such as magnesium silicate, in powdered food products. Furthermore, research and development (R&D) activities undertaken by manufacturers and rapid technological advancements are positively influencing the market growth.
