Currently, the hydrated silica industry is undergoing profound changes, with three major trends leading the direction of future development. In terms of green production, enterprises reduce CO ₂ emissions in the production process by 30% by using low-carbon raw materials (such as fluorosilicic acid instead of sulfuric acid) and clean energy (such as hydrogen kilns); At the same time, develop solid waste preparation technology to achieve resource recycling.


In terms of intelligent manufacturing, the industrial Internet platform integrates production data, realizes the automatic control of the whole process from raw material proportioning to finished product packaging, and reduces the defective rate of products from 5% to 0.5%. For example, the intelligent kiln system at the German factory of Evonik has reduced energy consumption in the production of gas-phase white carbon black by 18% and increased single line production capacity by 25%.


In terms of globalization layout, in order to avoid trade barriers, leading enterprises are accelerating the construction of factories in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, utilizing local cheap labor and resources to reduce costs. For example, the 100000 tons/year precipitation method white carbon black project invested by Quecheng Group in Malaysia is expected to occupy 30% of the Southeast Asian market share after it is put into operation in 2026. In the future, the industry will present a pattern of "increasing proportion of high-end products, continuous expansion of application areas, and accelerated integration of industrial chains". It is expected that by 2031, the global market size will exceed 8.1 billion US dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 4%.
