Precipitated Silica Industry Analysis
The global precipitated silica market size reached USD 3.3 Billion in 2025. By 2034, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 6.2 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 7.20% during 2026-2034. Market growth is being driven by rising use of precipitated silica as a reinforcing filler in energy efficient tires, expanding demand for mild abrasive and thickening grades in oral care products, and steady consumption of free flowing grades in food, feed and industrial formulations.
Latest News and Developments:
- June 2026: Evonik and Egesil Kimya achieved ISCC Plus certification for their precipitated silica plant in Adapazarı, Turkey, the company's first certified silica site in the EMEA region. The facility started commercial production of ULTRASIL eCO, a circular silica based on mass balance.
Product Description
Precipitated silica is a synthetic amorphous form of silicon dioxide, supplied as a white, finely divided powder. It is manufactured rather than mined, which separates it from quartz sand and other crystalline forms. Its chemical formula is SiO2, written as O2Si in Hill notation, and the commercial powder carries silanol groups on its surface together with bound water. It is insoluble in water and in organic solvents, chemically inert under ordinary conditions, and stable when kept dry. The particles are porous and light, giving the powder a low bulk density and a high specific surface area. These features provide reinforcing, thickening, thixotropic and anticaking functionality. Industrially it serves the tire and rubber, oral care, food and feed, coatings, adhesives and battery sectors. In end use it acts as a reinforcing filler in tire treads and rubber goods, as a mild abrasive and thickener in toothpaste, as an anticaking agent in powdered foods and feed premixes, and as a filler in battery separators. Industrially, precipitated silica is commonly produced by acidulation of sodium silicate with sulfuric acid, followed by filtration, drying and milling of the precipitate.
