US demand for specialty silicas will be boosted by evolving market trends, such as increased usage of spe- cialty silicas in tires, and also by pent-up demand in the housing and construction industry.
US demand to rise 4.7% annually through 2019 US Specialty Silica Demand, 2019 Precipitated Silica ($2.1 billion) Demand for specialty silicas in the US is forecast to rise 4.7 percent per year to $2.1 billion in 2019. Gains are expected to approach their longer-term growth rate, as they moderate from the post- recession growth of the 2009-2014 recovery period. Demand will be boosted by evolving market trends, such as Fumed Silica increased usage in tires, and also by pent-up demand in the housing and construction industry.

Precipitated silica is valued for its easy absorption and abrasion, lightness, fluidity, and ability to disperse through other materials (espe- cially rubber and paints). Products are typically formulated to meet the needs of specific end uses and are available in a number of grades with varying particle sizes, densities, surface areas, and purity levels.
Amorphous silica powders are generally produced through the precipitation of silica particles from an aqueous sodium silicate solu- tion. After the precipitation stage, the resulting material is filtered, dried, CHART V-1 and milled or granulated to produce the desired particle size. The silica can also be further processed to make it hydrophobic or to enhance its US SPECIALTY SILICA MARKET SHARE, 2014 performance for specific applications. While its properties may vary, ($1.7 billion) precipitated silica generally has a small particle size and comples
