Asia Silica Sand Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Asia Silica Sand Market according to our research experts:

Increasing Demand from the Glass Industry

  • The glass manufacturing industry was one of the largest end-user industries of the Asia silica sand market.
  • Silica sand is an inevitable part of the glass manufacturing industry and accounts for more than 50% of the entire raw materials being used in glass manufacturing. The material finds usage in an array of glass materials being produced, including containers, flat and specialty glass, and fiberglass.
  • The container sub-segment accounted for the largest consumption in the glass manufacturing application segment and was followed by the flat glass and the fiber glass sub-segments.   
  • The market in this application segment is expected to benefit heavily from the increasing demand for flat glass and fiber glass from the rapidly growing automotive and construction sectors in the emerging economies in Asia, especially India and China.
  • Moreover, the use of specialty glass in the reputable electronics sector in developed countries, like South Korea and Japan, is expected to further aid the growth of the glass manufacturing industry, which in turn, may increase the demand for silica sand in the region.
  • All the aforementioned factors, is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
