The global tetraethyl orthosilicate market size was USD 260.1 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 329.53 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.4% during the forecast period.

Tetraethyl orthosilicate also goes by the name of tetraethoxysilane, abbreviated as TEOS, is an inorganic chemical compound in which four methoxy groups are fused with a silicon atom. It is used to crosslink in silicone polymers and as a precursor of silicon dioxide in the semiconductor industry. The chemical is liquid in nature and is a colorless liquid, which is less dense and insoluble in water. The liquid is very hazardous and toxic in nature with slight solubility in the water. It is used in the synthesis of sol-gel which is used in both creations of ceramic and glassy materials.

The main application of tetraethyl orthosilicate comes from the chemical industry. It is also used in the semiconductor industry for being used as a semiconductor silicon source for the thin film deposition of silicon dioxide films. It is also used in the construction industry, and in the sol-gel process and in the enhancement of the surface quality of the cement-based materials. TEOS is used in stone hardening, cement, and mortar manufacturing and also in cross-linking of silicone polymers.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt of Production Impeded Market Growth

The outbreak of COVID-19 is already being felt globally, and the global tetraethyl orthosilicate market is considerably influenced. In 2020, COVID-19 had a negative impact on many markets. Several countries went into lockdown. With the sudden pandemic, all kinds of businesses witnessed disruptions. With many restrictions in the pandemic, the tetraethyl orthosilicate market was also negatively impacted. With the chemical industry being considerably impacted, manufacturers reduced their capital and operational costs. Manufacturing operations were reduced due to labor shortages and disruptions in supply chains for raw materials which led to a gap in supply and demand. These factors led to declining production of tetraethyl orthosilicate. The demand for the product comes from the construction industry, where it is used in paintings and coatings. The demand for paintings and coatings also experienced a downfall which affected the demand globally.
