Globally 482 million metric tons of husked rice is produced. Rice milling industries produce rice husk while milling of paddy. Complete burning of Rice husk produces rice husk ash which further utilized for different applications like power generation, fuel in boilers and so on. About 20 million tons of RHA is produced per annum. Most of the manufacturers of end use industries are providing innovative solutions in RHA market. Cement industries are the largest markets for RHA. North American countries are playing important role in RHA because of their demand in construction and steel industries.
Rice Husk Ash (RHA) Market Outlook
Although RHA is a waste produced from burning, it is widely used in different applications like Construction purpose, Power generation, insulating ladle in steel industry and so on industries. Cement and RHA are having pozzolanic properties. Due to similar properties, RHA is replacing some percentage of cement in construction industry. The special concrete mixes are formed and used as high performance concrete, high strength concrete, low permeability concrete for bridges, nuclear power plants and so on. In steel industry, it acts as insulator for ladles. This is also used for power generation. In rubber industry, tires are manufactured using RHA.
The price factors of RHA is cheap. It is almost 4-7 rupees per kilogram. Also it is available in different forms like granule, nodule and powder.
Rice Husk Ash Market Growth Drivers:
The cost effective nature of RHA driving force in this market. Use of RHA in concrete mixes reduces cement cost and increases the strength as well. For this, the use of RHA in construction industries is becoming common these days.
Rice Husk Ash Market challenges:
The ash produced from rice husk generates disposal problems and become constrain to the environment. To put a solution to this, RHA is used in different application for safe disposal. RHA is used in construction industries as concrete mixes. The demonstrated concrete can be recycled and reused for different application. Likewise this RHA is useful to the environment with reduced cost.
