The global silica sand market size is set to gain expansion in the construction industry due to its higher grade properties. Growing demand in the construction industry of transpiring economies. Countries like India and China are their construction industry is expanding and it is driving the demand for silica sand. Fortune Business Insights™ mentioned this in a report titled, “Silica Sand Market, 2023-2030”.
Silica sand (SiO2; silicon dioxide) is a finely crushed quartz. Also known as industrial sand, is not a regular sand, has at least 95% SiO2 and less than 0.6% iron oxide. It is used in making concrete which is widely used in the construction industry. Emerging technologies like elevating use of hybrid guide plates, solar power glazing in vehicle and construction glasses, advanced nanotechnology, and lightweight glazing glass make use of silica sand. When compared to regular sand it has a high melting point, toughness, and inert chemical nature.
COVID-19 Impact: Private Projects to Act as recovery for Silica Market
COVID-19 hit the global economy hard and each and every industry, including the manufacturing sector. In 2020, the glass market saw recovery. The new private home projects were up when compared to 2019 as said by U.S. Census Bureau and the rise is expected to continue in the future. Disruption in supply chains affected distribution of silica sand. The aforementioned factors have led to decreasing demand for silica sand and other construction materials.
