Rice husks are tough protective outer coatings of rice grains. It protects the grains during their growing season. Rice husk ash is a major source of amorphous silica, which can be used in various applications such as high-performance concrete, refractory, and ceramic tiles. Its absorbent and isolating effects are useful for many industrial applications such as the use of building materials as a reinforcing agent.

Rice husk ash has a wide range of applications because it constitutes high amount of silica. The significant use of rice husk ash in the construction of lightweight materials, which are used heavily in the construction of durable cement and strong-fit concrete has been a major growth driving for rice husk ash market. The increasing use of rice husk ash in road construction activities, as fuel for boilers, and to manufacture ceramic tiles is anticipated to boost the global rice husk ash market. However, the availability of source of rice husk ash in regions, where rice husk is not produced, will be a restraint for the global rice husk ash market in some regions. In addition, the ash produced from rice husk will create challenges related to proper ash disposal, in turn harming the environment.

The global rice husk ash market is classified into product type, application, and region. By product type, the global rice husk ash market is segmented into nodules, powder, and granules. By application, the global rice husk ash market is segmented into building & construction, steel, ceramics & refractories, silica manufacturing, and others. Rice husk ash demand, in construction applications, is increasing due to its low costs and compliance with regulatory environmental regulations proposed by various governmental authorities.

Asia Pacific held the largest market share for the global rice husk ash market. As Asia Pacific is the largest source of rice paddy that generates rice husk, and this has been a major growth driving factor for the global rice husk ash market.
