The global Rice Husk Ash market size is expected to reach USD 3,790.25 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Rice Husk Ash Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product (Powder, Nodules, Granules); By Process; By Silica Content; Segment Forecast, 2024- 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Rice Husk Ash is derived from the combustion of rice husks or hulls, serving as a prime source for electricity generation across various industries. Rice husks constitute approximately 20% of paddy, and the resulting ash comprises around 25% of the husk post-combustion.
Rice Husk Ash Market revenue growth stems primarily from the rising demand for environmentally friendly construction materials and the increasing recognition of the advantages associated with utilizing rice husk ash across diverse applications. Rice husk ash, originating as a by-product of rice husk combustion, which constitutes the outer layer of rice grains, plays a pivotal role in driving this growth trajectory.
Additionally, the market's revenue growth is propelled by the expanding utilization of rice husk ash within the agricultural sector as a soil enhancer. Rice husk ash contains vital nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which foster plant development. Furthermore, it aids in enhancing soil structure, thereby augmenting aeration and water retention, ultimately leading to heightened crop yields.
Furthermore, the surge in market revenue is attributed to the growing application of rice husk ash in the manufacturing of diverse industrial chemicals, including activated carbon and sodium silicate. The distinctive chemical makeup of rice husk ash renders it an excellent raw material for producing these chemicals, which are integral to sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and water treatment industry.
Additionally, the forecast period anticipates consistent growth in the rice husk ash market, propelled by factors such as rising demand for environmentally sustainable construction materials, heightened recognition of the advantages associated with rice husk ash utilization, and the increasing requirement for top-grade silica across diverse sectors. Nonetheless, market expansion may encounter obstacles due to the presence of alternative materials and limited awareness concerning the advantages of incorporating rice husk ash into various applications.
