Precipitated Silica Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Precipitated Silica prices in Japan, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 2.2% in Q2 2026 to USD 1,400.00/MT from USD 1,370.00/MT in Q1, continuing a steady climb that has held across nearly every quarter tracked in this report. Globally, the average rose from USD 1,251.80/MT in Q1 to USD 1,284.00/MT in Q2, a 2.6% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 1,220.00-1,380.00/MT is expected, with steady procurement from tire and coatings manufacturers likely to keep this market on its established upward path.
Precipitated Silica is a synthetic, amorphous form of silicon dioxide produced by reacting sodium silicate with sulfuric acid, followed by precipitation, filtration, and drying, yielding a fine, white powder with low bulk density, high porosity, and excellent dispersibility. Valued for its reinforcing, thickening, and anti-caking properties, it serves as a critical additive in rubber compounds, especially green tires, where it improves strength, wear resistance, and rolling resistance performance, alongside use as a free-flow agent in food and feed, a thickener in coatings and adhesives, and a polishing agent in oral care products. Sodium silicate and sulfuric acid feedstock costs, tire and rubber industry demand, and energy costs at production facilities are what drive prices in this market.
Precipitated Silica Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Precipitated Silica through H2 2026 stays firm, tracking steady procurement from tire and coatings manufacturers alongside continued expansion of green tire production, which relies more heavily on precipitated silica than conventional carbon black-based formulations. Energy cost fluctuations tied to the broader petrochemical complex should continue influencing production planning, even as underlying demand fundamentals remain constructive.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of sodium silicate or sulfuric acid feedstock availability, which would push production costs higher across every region tracked in this report. The main downside risk is a slowdown in automotive and tire sector demand, which would ease some of the current price pressure.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1,220.00 - 1,380.00 | Steady tire and coatings demand supports continued gains |
| Japan | 1,380.00 - 1,520.00 | Strong tire manufacturing demand sustains the highest cost |
| Germany | 1,330.00 - 1,470.00 | Steady downstream industrial demand supports firming |
| United States | 1,280.00 - 1,420.00 | Recovering feedstock costs keep this market firm |
| China | 1,030.00 - 1,150.00 | Large-scale production capacity keeps this the most affordable market |
