Dublin, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Specialty Silica Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The speciality silica market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.56 % over the forecast period, increasing from US$6.23 billion in 2025 to US$8.96 billion by 2030.

Key growth drivers:

  • Automotive Industry: Specialty silica is used in the manufacturing of high-performance, fuel-efficient tires. Silica-reinforced tires reduce rolling resistance, improve wet grip, and enhance fuel economy. The increasing use of automobiles across the globe is also bolstering the tire industry.
  • Electronics Industry: The demand for lightweight and durable materials in electronics is driving the use of specialty silica in insulating and packaging materials.
  • Construction Industry: The need for high-strength concrete and innovative building materials is increasing the adoption of specialty silica.
  • Eco-friendly Materials: Growing awareness of environmental sustainability is driving demand for eco-friendly materials like green silica, which is derived from agricultural waste and has a lower carbon footprint than traditional silica sources.
  • Cosmetics and Personal Care: The global cosmetics and personal care industry is expanding, leading to increased demand for specialty silica as a thickening agent in products like toothpaste.

Geographical Trends:

  • Asia-Pacific: Rapid industrialization in emerging economies, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, is propelling the demand for specialty silica in infrastructure projects.
  • North America: The North American market is expected to see significant growth due to the increasing manufacturing of electric vehicles, which require high-performance tires containing specialty silica. The construction and automotive sectors are also contributing to this growth with increasing infrastructural developments and demand for lightweight materials.

Companies are focusing on expanding their product portfolios, improving production efficiency, and adopting sustainable production practices.

There is a growing shift towards sustainable practices, including the development of bio-based and renewable silica alternatives, and greener manufacturing processes. For example, Solvay is investing in its Livorno facility in Italy to produce circular highly dispersible silica (HDS) using bio-based sodium silicate derived from rice husk ash.
