Global Rice Husk Silica Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Rice Husk Silica Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Rice husk is a kind of agricultural waste, which contains a lot of siliceous ash. The burning of rice husks produces rice husk ash, which is mainly composed of silica. High-purity silica can be produced by controlled combustion after acid treatment.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Rice Husk Silica market finds that the global Rice Husk Silica market reached a value of USD 144.96 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 313.85 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.74% during the forecast period.

An adequate supply of raw materials

Rice husk is the main raw material used to produce high-value-added silica materials. Due to the huge output of rice husks, it is difficult to transport, and they are usually directly incinerated and then piled up on the spot, which not only causes environmental pollution such as smog but also causes a great waste of resources. The use of rice husks to produce silica not only effectively utilizes resources, but also prevents environmental pollution. In addition, as agricultural waste, rice husk has the characteristics of regeneration and large yield. Rice is one of the most important grains in the world, and the amount of rice planted in the world is relatively large. According to Statista data, the global rice planting area in 2021 will be approximately 165.25 million hectares. India is estimated to be a major rice producer globally, harvesting about 45 million hectares of rice. Therefore, for the rice husk silica industry, the supply of raw materials is relatively sufficient.

Growing demand from a wide range of downstream markets

Rice husk silica has a wide range of downstream application markets. First, rice husk silica can be used in the tire production process. With the rapid development of modern highways, the requirements for engineering tires are increasing day by day. Rice husk silica is a key filling and reinforcing agent for the manufacture of green tires, which can increase the tear resistance temperature, stretching temperature, extension pressure, and growth of the cutting edge of the tire, increase the service life, and at the same time improve the tire The ability to grip on ice makes the car fuel-efficient. Secondly, rice husk silica can be used in the field of industrial rubber, and rice husk silica can be used in belts, conveyor belts, gaskets, and seals. In addition, rice husk silica has the characteristics of strong adsorption capacity, uniform particle size, stable properties, non-toxic and harmless, and is widely used as an abrasive in high-end toothpaste. With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, there is a large demand for medium and high-end toothpaste using rice husk silica as abrasives.

Overall, growing demand from a wide range of downstream markets is driving the rice husk silica industry.
