Restraint:
Flat glass represents one of the most frequently used glass products under its two names which include sheet glass or plate glass. Statistics show that flat glass market value will rise from USD 265.85 billion in 2020 to USD 400.38 billion in 2030 which will drive substantial need for silica sand. Industrial sand functions as the main material in flat glass production for both automobiles and building construction.  The material finds use for windows as well as doors and mirrors. Flat glass manufacturers depend on silica's perfect purity along with its consistent quality because these properties ensure the production of flawless clear strong end products. Specialty glass includes tempered glass and laminated glass together with glass equipment used for electrical applications. Speciality glass producers need specific silica sand characteristics including both ultra-high purity standards and particular particle size distributions for their work. Such specifications enable the speciality glass to fulfill its intended use requirements for performance and safety standards.
Opportunity:
Construction market growth will rise because of urbanization and industrial development. An increase in middle-class wealth will drive both construction demand and usage of silica sand as the construction sector develops. The building expansion together with infrastructure development presents favorable conditions for market demand acceleration since silica sand functions as mortar and concrete components and abrasive substances. The main ingredient in multiple construction materials is silica. The production of high-quality concrete and mortars makes silica sand highly beneficial for construction purposes in its current applications. Due to performance advantages alongside its flexible nature concrete gets frequently used in extensive quantities. The Global Cement and Concrete Association predicts that worldwide concrete demand will expand from 14.0 billion m3 in 2021 to about 20 billion m3 during 2050 when construction continues at its current pace. The increasing concrete demand predicts an expansion in the silica sand market since silica functions as one of the main components in concrete production.

Recent Development:
•    In October 2021, PPG signed a strategic agreement with Oriental Silicas Corporation to make this Taiwan-based company its sales representative for Asia-Pacific tire producers. Taiwan-based OSC of Greater China functions as the sales representative to promote PPG silica product grades for tire production by Asia-Pacific manufacturers. The agreement features PPG HI-SIL precipitated silica products with low and high surface areas together with PPG AGILON performance-treated silica. 
•    In March 2020, Evonik introduced their patented precipitated silica SPHERILEX DP-0115 for powder coating matting purposes through the Coating Additives segment of Evonik business line. By using its patented technology SPHERILEX DP-0115 developers achieved both high sphericity together with low porosity which enables higher loadings for powder coatings without affecting curing properties.
Segment Insights:
By Application
The rubber segment maintained its leadership position attributing to around 53.0% of total revenue in the precipitated silica market in 2022. The rubber industry rapidly uses this product primarily as a reinforcement filler in tires. The global tire industry aims to boost green tire manufacturing since vehicle manufacturers need to achieve better fuel efficiency standards and lower their emission output. The market expects precipitated silica demand to skyrocket during upcoming years. The product finds additional uses outside tires in producing silicone rubber as well as footwear soles and industrial rubber. Agrochemicals application will experience a 6.4% CAGR between 2023 to 2033. Physical properties of visco-elasticity enter liquid agrochemicals through the use of precipitated silica particles. The product functions both as a rheology modifier and as an anti-settling additive. The active ingredients of liquid formulations remain dispersed through this additive which avoids their settlement behaviour. The product serves multiple functions in solid agrochemicals by performing as a process aid as well as providing free-flowing aid and milling aid and anti-cracking aid.
