The top three revenue contributing application segments are discussed below

Rubber: The rubber application segment is expected to be the fastest-growing application segment through 2021. The requirement for quality rubber in the automotive tire industry is projected to drive the demand for precipitated silica.

“Precipitated silica serves as a reinforcing filler material and improves the strength and durability of rubber. In the tire industry, rubber grade silica is used as the replacement for carbon black. Silica increases the grip and adhesion of the tires and improves anti-skid properties and tensile strength,” says Ajay Adhikhari, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on specialty chemicals.

Food, feed, and agrochemicals: Precipitated silica is extensively used in several applications of food, feed, and agrochemicals as it is a carrier and free flow by nature. In most of these applications, precipitated silica works as anti-caking, an absorbent, carrier, and free-flowing agent. Precipitated silica products are inert, odorless, colorless, and highly absorptive.

Cosmetics and oral care: Precipitated silica is used mostly in the manufacturing of personal care and oral care products. It enhances the stability and the shelf life of these products. Silica also works as a carrier agent for liquid active ingredients and perfumes. It absorbs the fragrance and can deliver the scent over a long period.
