Middle East Silica Sand Market Report and Forecast 2022-2027

Market Outlook

According to the Middle East silica sand market report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the market attained a volume of 6.32 MMT in 2021. Aided by the growing application of the product in various end-use industries in the region, the market is projected to further grow at a CAGR of 4% between 2022 and 2027 to reach a volume of 8.66 MMT by 2027.

Silica sand, which is also known as quartz sand or industrial sand, is defined as a type of sand which is made up of oxygen and silicon. It is found in granular form and minute amounts of clay, coal and quartz are present in the compound. Silica sand is used in various end-use industries, among which, the increasing application of the product in the construction industry is propelling the silica sand market growth. The rapid development of residential and commercial structures across the emerging economies of the Middle East is further increasing the demand for silica sand-derived construction components.

Silica sand balances out the pH in water filters which makes it applicable in the water filtration industry. In this regard, the increasing scarcity of water and growing awareness pertaining to the harmful effects of consuming un-treated water are fuelling the demand for silica sand across countries like Saudi Arabia.

Over the forecast period, silica sand is likely to gain traction in the glass industry owing to the lack of glass producing options without the use of silica sand. The rising application of glass in various industries across the region is further propelling the silica sand market. Meanwhile, silica sand improves the flow of oil owing to its favourable chemical properties. It prevents corrosion around the harmful environments, which makes it ideal to be used in the oil and gas industry. Therefore, the thriving oil and gas sector in the region, coupled by the increasing demand for crude oil, is bolstering the demand for silica sand in the region.

Moreover, silica sand is also utilised in the metal casting process. The growing application of base metals in the developing countries of the region, owing to the rising standards of living and rapid urbanisation is likely to provide impetus to the silica sand market in the forecast period.
