The estimation of the current size of the precipitated silica market involved a four-step methodology. Initially, secondary research included all pertinent information about the market itself, as well as related and parent markets. These results, along with assumptions and metrics, were validated with primary research that involved experts from both the supply and demand sides of the precipitated silica value chain. Total market size was determined through a top-down and bottom-up approach. Finally, the market sizes for various segments and subsegments were found using comprehensive market segmentation and data triangulation techniques.
Secondary Research
The research methodology followed in estimating the current precipitated silica market size consisted of four significant activities. Extensive secondary research was conducted to provide information on the market, peer markets, and parent markets. These findings, assumptions, and metrics were validated through primary research undertaken with experts from the demand side of the precipitated silica value chain. Both top-down as well as bottom-up approaches were followed for the estimation of the total market size. The complete market segmentation and data triangulation techniques had been applied for the final estimation of various segments and subsegments.
Primary Research
The precipitated silica market comprises several stakeholders in the supply chain, such as precipitated silica producers, precipitated silica processing and refining companies, manufacturers, distributors and traders, government and regulatory bodies, and end users. The development of battery seperator, rubber, electronics, textile and food defines the demand side of this market. Interviews were conducted with various primary sources on both the supply and demand sides of the market to gather qualitative and quantitative data.

Market Definition
The precipitated silica market encompasses the trade and supply of manufactured silica that is in a bulk form. The production is done by the reaction of sodium silicate with sulfuric acid which forms the product in the form of a fine white powder and has a high absorption index. The silica is mainly utilized in the rubber industry for tires, medicines, food products, personal care products, coatings and even batteries. The fuel-efficient tires, expansion of the electric vehicle market, and increasing use of silica in food and healthcare products have boosted the market. Also, environmental policies encouraging green substitutes are driving the use of silica solutions. With technological improvements and greater industrial uses, the precipitated silica market is likely to grow steadily across the globe.
