Rubber Industry Continues to Dominate Specialty Silica Demand

Based on the applications of specialty silica, its global market is segregated into rubber, crop protection, paints and coatings, electronic components, food and beverage, personal care and cosmetics, animal feed, plastics, and a collective segment of minor or niche applications. Among these, the global specialty silica market has always generated a consistently high demand from rubber manufacturers. In 2015, the rubber industry took up more than 50% of the global specialty silica market in terms of value, owing to the massive scale at which specialty silica is used in the manufacture of tires, industrial tools and equipment, and footwear. The use of specialty silica is especially high in tires as it helps maintain a robust structure while considerably reducing rolling resistance, a phenomenon in friction that is responsible for the usage of at least 20% fuel of all vehicles. This factor puts the global specialty silica market in very high regard for tire manufacturers as growing constraints of depleting fossil fuels and tightening emission norms are forcing the automotive industry to ramp up its efforts in reducing the overall fuel consumption of vehicles.
