The global rice husk ash market is estimated to reach USD 2.42 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 5.15% between 2015 and 2020.

Uncontrollable factors, such as harvest period, yield area, and rainfall for producing rice paddy inhibits the growth of the global rice husk ash market. There are several stringent regulations imposed on the direct dumping of rice husk as it affects fertility of the soil. Rice producers in Europe and North America have to adhere to such regulations and therefore have found much extensive uses for rice husk ash in comparison to other regions, such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and others.

Moreover, the cost of the product is very low and can be easily imported compared to the available substitutes like silica fume. The global rice husk ash market is highly concentrated and is not significantly price sensitive. This is due to the large number of participants in this market, owing to low entry barriers. It is easy for new entrants to enter into and exit the market anytime, which is the case in major rice producing countries, such as China and India.
