The global washed silica sand market size is expected to reach USD 28.65 Million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Washed Silica Sand Market by Fe Content (>0.01%, <0.01%), by Application (Glass, Foundry, Oil Well Cement, Ceramic & Refractories, Abrasive, Metallurgy, Filtration & Others), By Region And Segment Forecast – 2023 to 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Over the next few years, it is expected that demand for washed silica sand will greatly increase in the construction, container glass, specialty glass, fiberglass, foundry, oil well cementing, and cosmetics industries.

The demand for washed silica sand is expected to rise throughout the projection period as a result of an increase in construction and infrastructure-related activities. Between 65% and 70% of the essential ingredients are made up of silica grit in the production of glass. escalating desire for flat glass and building glass

By 2050, World Population and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs' Population Division predict that there will be 9.5 billion individuals on the planet.

Crystalline silica is one of the most common and harmful occupational risks to workers' health. The market for washed silica sand is constrained by the detrimental effects on employees' health. Long-term exposure to dust containing crystalline silica has been related to lung conditions like pneumoconiosis, progressive massive fibrosis of the lung (PMF), lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, and other lung and airway conditions, according to the National Health Portal of India. However, exposure to significant levels of free silica may go unnoticed because it has no smell, doesn't irritate the skin, and has no immediate negative impacts on health.

Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases in 2020, emergency protocols have been implemented and a number of operations and sites have been shut down. The COVID-19 outbreak, which began in Wuhan, China, has spread to the major APAC, European, and North American countries because the majority of international companies have offices there. This has an effect on the wash silica sand industry. Due to a lack of raw materials and labor, which was caused by the COVID-19 effect, the market's growth was delayed.

Washed Silica Sand Market Report Highlights

The largest market segment for washed silica sand, based on iron content, is expected to be silica sand with iron content >0.01%. Silica sand, quartz sand, white sand, industrial sand, and silica sand are all names for sand that contains a lot of silicon dioxide (SiO2).

The 0.5mm¨C0.7mm particle size range is anticipated to rule the market for washed silica sand. Silica sand is divided into three categories based on the size of the particles: less than 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm-0.7 mm, and more than 0.7 mm. These particles fall into a variety of 4 mesh to 200 mesh US standard sieve number groups.

APAC had the largest market share in value terms in 2022. The increasing population and quick urbanization in this region are two major factors influencing industry expansion. The expansion of the glass, cement, foundry, oil well, and other industries in several APAC countries is fueling the demand for cleaned silica sand in the area. Flat glass, specialty glass, and solar glass, according to VRX Silica, one of the largest producers of silica sand, are constantly growing at rates of 6%, 10%, and 30%.

Several of the largest manufacturers of washed silica sand include Unimin Corporation, Fairmount Minerals, U.S. Silica, Emerge Energy Services LP, Badger Mining Corp, Hi-Crush Partners, Preferred Sands, Premier Silica, Pattison Sand, Sibelco, Minerali Industriali, Quarzwerke Group, Aggregate Industries & WOLFF & MÜLLER
