Demand for specialty silicas in the US is forecast to rise 4.7 percent annually to $2.1 billion in 2019. Precipitated silica will be the largest and fastest growing product segment, driven by robust gains in the large tire rubber sector, as well as in coatings and inks. Rubber will also be the fastest growing market overall, with tire rubber outpacing the nontire rubber segment.
This study analyzes the $1.7 billion US specialty silica industry. It presents historical demand data (2004, 2009 and 2014) and forecasts (2019 and 2024) by product (e.g., precipitated silica, fumed silica, silica gel, silica sol, fused silica) and market (e.g., rubber, cosmetics and toiletries, chemicals, coatings and inks, electrical and electronic equipment, plastics, food and beverages, agriculture and animal health, metals and refractories, paper and textiles).
The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share, and profiles 29 industry players, including PPG Industries, Evonik Industries, and Cabot.
