Silica Sand Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Silica Sand Market
The silica sand market size was valued at USD 12.16 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 13.10 billion in 2024 to USD 23.70 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
Due to the pandemic’s impact on the supply chain for raw materials and market distribution of the final products, COVID-19 has rigorously challenged the revenue generation of its manufacturers. However, once the crisis had been contained there was a relaxation of measures to help countries continue to build up the economic value chain by assisting domestic and small-scale industries to also get back into manufacturing, which helped the silica sand market growth.
The ever-rising demand due to the expansion of the glass industry serves as a foundation for market growth this is because glass is one of the most important raw materials in the expansion of industries. SiO2 serves for glass manufacturing, as this material demonstrates outstanding thermal shock stability and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which makes the material inactive in the case of speedy and abrupt temperature changes and capable of taking big temperature differences. Also, there is a rise in social responsibilities concerning the environment, and thus the glass industry is evolving towards a green economy. High-purity natural raw materials with minor environmental influence only if integrated effectively into mining and processing activities satisfy the sustainability standards of the industry and fuel the growth of the market in future years of the forecast period. Investment in the glass industry has acted as the main reason why the major silica sand market share has been observed.
The increasing construction and infrastructural projects are expected to drive product demand across the globe over the forecast period. It is used in various construction-related activities as an abrasive material for grinding wheels, glass manufacturing, concrete, as well as mortar. Utilizing the above analysis, it can be deduced that the globalization of the construction industry will result in higher demand for Quartz sand in the future years.
