Precipitated Silica Market

Global Precipitated Silica Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global precipitated silica market was worth US$ 1.63 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 2.81 billion by 2029 and it is predicted to register a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period 2024 to 2029.

MARKET OVERVIEW

This expansion is primarily attributed to the growing call for precipitated silica from the automotive industry and growing concerns about reduced fuel consumption. Precipitated silica plays a key role in reducing rolling resistance and escalating wear resistance and traction, contributing to lower fuel consumption, high durability, and high grip in wet and snowy conditions. Precipitated silica products are a very convenient form of packaging to use to make a wide variety of products popular with consumers. The growing call for fuel-efficient products in the automotive industry is currently a major expansion engine in the worldwide precipitated silica market. In addition, the growing call for toothpaste is another important factor in the expansion of the global market, as precipitated silica is employed as a thickening agent in toothpaste formulation. The Asia-Pacific region is predicted to provide fertile ground for the expansion of the automotive sector. The expansion of the automotive sector worldwide is predicted to drive expansion in the precipitated silica market as the call continues to move on an upward trajectory. The adoption of precipitated silica to make rubber tires is a major factor that will likely drive the global precipitated silica market during the foreseen period.

MARKET DRIVERS & RESTRAINTS

Growing awareness of oral hygiene around the world is predicted to drive calls for products, especially from the toothpaste industry. Precipitated silica is employed in the manufacture of clear and medicinal toothpaste, where it acts as a cleaning, polishing, and whitening agent. Growing consumer awareness of a healthy lifestyle, wellness, and hygiene is predicted to drive the call for products in oral care applications during the foreseen period. Bringing oral hygiene awareness to the world is believed to boost product sales, primarily in toothpaste capitals. Therefore, it stimulates the expansion of precipitated silica companies in the world economy.

Precipitated silica is employed in the production of crystalline and medicinal toothpaste, where it serves as a whitening, cleaning, and polishing instrument. Escalating customer awareness of healthy lifestyles, wellness, and sanitation is predicted to drive calls for oral application stock during the outlook period. Use in paint and coatings composition is predicted. It is integrated on a large scale due to the physical resistance it offers, such as corrosion resistance, escalated durability, and a suitable agent for thickening and flattening. There are factors that are driving the expansion of the global precipitated silica market demand. High energy costs incurred during the precipitated silica manufacturing process are predicted to hamper the expansion of the worldwide precipitated silica market to some extent.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Due to continued pressure from regulators to improve environmental safety, the call for green tires is escalating at a remarkable rate, which in turn is predicted to accelerate the market in the coming years.

MARKET CHALLENGES

Although the call for precipitated silica is predicted to increase significantly with the steady expansion of the end-use industry, the market is predicted to face a serious hurdle due to the environmental risks associated with precipitated silica production. Environmental regulations pose a challenge to this market. Precipitated silica is dangerous to health. Frequent use of precipitated silica can cause a drying effect on the hand and other exposed body parts. It can also cause nosebleeds.
