Top 5 Companies in the Precipitated & Hydrated Silica Market

The global precipitated and hydrated silica market reached USD 1.91 Billion in 2024 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.00% from 2025 to 2034, reaching approximately USD 3.42 Billion by 2034. As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the market is expected to be driven by the rise in FMCG and pharmaceutical industries during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to the increased significance of forms of silica in the food and pharmaceutical industries as anti-caking and thickening agents.

Precipitated silica is a white, powdery substance made from a silicate salt solution, that has been precipitated. After that, the precipitate is filtered out and dried to achieve an amorphous state. Unlike precipitated silica, hydrated silica retains moisture and has a gel-like consistency.

The poor growth of the aviation and automobile industries due to the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the tyre production, which may affect precipitated silica demand. However, the rise of the electric vehicle (EV) sector, which is just as reliant on tyres as conventional commercial vehicles, will help boost global precipitated and hydrated silica market growth rates. Additionally, when used in vehicle tyres, precipitated silica can improve fuel efficiency, which is becoming increasingly important as vehicle fuel efficiency regulations continue to grow.

Precipitated and hydrated silica is expected to grow at a healthy rate in the forecast period, owing to their combined versatile applications and increasing demand, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. This is dependent on the Asia Pacific rubber industry's continuous expansion, as the region consumes the most precipitated silica. Precipitated silica is most commonly used in the rubber industry to make high-performance tyres for use in the automobile industry. Meanwhile, hydrated silica is primarily employed in toothpaste production, with applications at various phases of the production process. Besides, both precipitated and hydrated silica are used in the food and beverages, and pharmaceutical industries.
