By product type, the market is segmented into precipitated silica, colloidal silica, fumed silica, fused silica and silica gel. In terms of value, precipitated silica segment is anticipated to account for 71.1% share of the total specialty silica market in 2015. The segment is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period. This growth can mainly be attributed to increasing application of specialty silica in tyres. Fumed silica segment is projected to expand at a healthy CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Others type segment is anticipated to witness moderate growth over the forecast period. In terms of volume, APEJ market is anticipated to witness a healthy CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period.
Specialty silica market is mainly driven by its increasing application in rubber products, especially in tyres. Use of specialty silica enables better rolling resistance and improved grip of tyres, which increases fuel efficiency of the vehicle. These tyres are also called green tyres and are widely preferred over conventional tyres. Increasing use of colloidal silica in consumer electronics has also bolstered demand for specialty silica. Colloidal silica helps in achieving high gloss finish for flat surface electronic device such as mobile phones. Growing application of specialty silica in oral care (toothpaste) as an abrasive agent to clean the teeth thoroughly is also anticipated to determine future demand for specialty silica.
