Dublin, April 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Specialty Silica Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Precipitated, Silica Gel, Colloidal, Fumed), By Application (Rubber, Paints & Coatings, Food), And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global specialty silica market size is anticipated to reach USD 11.43 billion by 2025
It is anticipated to register a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. Rising demand from rubber, food, healthcare, and coatings industries is the significant factor influencing the market growth.
Precipitated silica and carbon black are the major ingredients used as reinforcing filler in tires to improve adhesion and to enhance tire tread wear resistance. Currently, precipitated silica is used in conjunction with carbon black as a reinforcing filler for tires. However, the trend is shifting towards the complete replacement of carbon black by precipitated silica, owing to the eco-friendly nature and superior performance delivered by the latter.
Specialty silica is widely employed in the manufacturing of green tires. Silica-filled tires are widely used as they aid in decreasing rolling resistance of an automotive which results in improved mileage and better handling. Rising demand for green tires, particularly from Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe is expected to have a positive impact on the market over the next seven years.
The product is used as non-reactive filler on account of its high absorption capacity and large surface area. It is used as thickening and reinforcing agent in adhesives. It has profound usage in conveyor as well transmission belts, wherein it provides abrasion resistance, high tensile strength, and improves tear resistance. Specialty silica is also utilized to eliminate caking tendency and to improve powder flowability, stability during storage, and the productivity of agrochemical products. It also finds application in food industry as a flavor carrier. This, in turn, is projected to drive the growth in near future.
The market is expected to foresee highest penetration in the coatings industry. Fumed silica is primarily utilized in paints and coatings as an anti-settling and a thixotroping agent to control rheological characteristics and to help resist rust and corrosion. Products like fumed silica must be added in concentrations between 0.5% and 2% for coatings application.
The competitive landscape of the specialty silica market reflects a number of companies currently engaging in capacity extensions to enhance their market position. For instance, in October 2018, Evonik started a precipitated silica plant in South Carolina to meet the increasing demand from tire industry in North America.
