The global rice husk ash market is projected to reach USD 2.54 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2016 to 2021. The construction industry is one of the largest end users of rice husk ash (RHA). The increasing urbanization, infrastructure development in emerging economies, and the growing demand for cost-effective construction solutions have influenced the construction industry to innovate in terms of mineral admixtures. Huge differences can be witnessed in structures built today as compared to the ones built over a decade ago. Among the various commercially available mineral admixtures, including fly ash and silica fume, RHA is considered to be the most cost-efficient solution for a wide range of applications and requirements.
Key players in the RHA market include Guru Metachem Pvt. Ltd. (India), Yihai Kerry Investments Co., Ltd. (China), Usher Agro Ltd. (India), Jasoriya Rice Mill (India), and Rescon (India) Pvt. Ltd., among others.
