The report based on the global specialty silica market offers in-depth analysis of this market on a global level, keeping its major focus on various key segments. Precipitated silica and fumed silica are the two major segments within the global specialty silica market. Precipitated silica is often used in tire treads and is therefore expected to account for approximately more than two-thirds of the global demand for silica in the near future. Precipitated silica holds majority of the share in the overall specialty silica market mainly due to the growth in the automobile and construction sectors. It has also grown at an accelerated pace due to the increasing adoption of green tires. High demand for and increasing penetration of green tires that use precipitated silica to improve motor-vehicle fuel economy and lower rolling resistance will also be increasing in the near future.

Fumed silica, on the other hand, is expected to grow in silicone rubber industrial applications.

Through specific insights on the size of the market, industrial use, and growth drivers, the study covers essential information and in-depth analysis on both these key segments.
