Silica sand is quartz that, over time, has been broken down into tiny granules through the work of water and wind. Silica sand is a more specific product than common concrete and asphalt gravels. It is generally known as quartz sand, white sand or industrial sand made up of two main elements silica and oxygen. Commercial silica sand is extensively used by the companies involved in oil and natural gas recovery in conventional and unconventional resource plays. Silica sand deposits are mostly surfaced mined in open pit operations, but underground mining and dredging are also employed. It is used for water purification, manufacturing of glass, synthetic foundry molding catalysts, disodium ultramarine, etc. In addition to that, it is also used for acid heat resistant ceramics, pottery glaze, and enamel, etc.
Market Dynamics
The escalating demand from the glass manufacturing industry and construction industry is the primary reason driving the market growth of silica sand. In the hydraulic fracturing process, shale gas is extracted in which silica sand is used as a proppant. As a result, the growth in shale gas production will subsequently boost the demand and growth of the silica sand market. Additionally, increasing demand from automotive production and sales are also assumed to boost market growth. The advantageous properties of silica sand, such as strength, high silica content, and resistance to heat and chemical reactions, will propel the market growth of silica sand. Also, some factors such as increasing per capita income and technological advancements will spur the market growth of silica sand.
