India Silica Market Trends:

Expansion of the Automotive Industry

India’s rapidly expanding automotive sector is a key driver of the rising demand for silica, particularly precipitated silica, which is widely used as a reinforcing filler in tire manufacturing. By enhancing traction, grip, and wear resistance, silica plays a crucial role in improving tire performance to meet modern vehicle standards. The Indian automotive industry has witnessed remarkable growth, with passenger vehicle production reaching 4,578,639 units in 2022-23, a 25.41% increase from the previous year, whereas commercial vehicle sales surged by 28.56% to 1,035,626 units. This production boom has directly propelled tire demand, with tire exports rising by 50% in FY22. To support this growth, the tire industry has invested over INR 35,000 crore (USD 4.26 billion) in capacity expansion and debottlenecking over the past three years. Additionally, initiatives like NE-MITRA (North East Mission of Tire Industry for Rubber Augmentation), with an INR 1,110 crore (USD 0.14 billion) investment, aim to develop 200,000 hectares of rubber plantations, ensuring a stable raw material supply. This interlinked growth of the automotive and tire industries underscores the sustained demand for high-performance tires and silica in India.

Growth in the Electronics Industry

India’s rapidly expanding electronics sector is a key driver of the silica market, with precipitated silica playing a crucial role in moisture absorption for display devices, watches, semiconductors, and cameras. It also acts as a reinforcing filler in adhesives and sealants, improving durability and resistance to environmental stresses. The industry has experienced significant expansion, reaching USD 155 billion in FY23. Production has nearly doubled, growing from USD 48 billion in FY17 to USD 101 billion in FY23. Mobile phones now contribute 43% of total electronics manufacturing, highlighting the sector’s rapid progress. Rising demand for consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics has also driven an increase in silica consumption. Government initiatives, such as ‘Digital India’ and ‘Make in India’, along with supportive FDI policies, have attracted both domestic and foreign investments. In the Union Budget 2023-24, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology received an allocation of INR 16,549 crore (USD 2 billion), marking a 40% annual increase to strengthen the sector's growth. As the industry advances, the demand for high-quality materials, such as precipitated silica, is expected to grow further.
