THE PROJECT

Page 12: COMPANY PORTFOLIO 2020

• Silica Sand (SiO2) is crystalline quartz that over time, through erosion by water and

wind, has been broken down into tiny granules.

• Silica is hard, chemically inert and has a high melting point, therefore it finds

numerous applications in commercial and industrial sectors.

• It is associated with advantageous properties like high strength, and resistance

against heat and chemicals, which are prized qualities in applications such as water

filtration, industrial casting, road building, glassmaking, paints and coatings, among

others.

• White Sand or Industrial Sand is generally used to refer to high purity silica sand

products.

• Industrial Sand’s strength and non-reactive properties make it an indispensable

ingredient in the production of thousands of everyday products.

SILICA SAND IS IN DEMAND!

› The global silica sand market reached

around US$8 Billion in 2019.

› IMARC* forecasts CAGR of 7.2% p.a.

through to 2022, reaching US$9.6

Billion revenues.

› No direct substitutes in majority of

applications.

› A significant rise in the automotive and

construction industry represents one of

the key factors bolstering market

growth.

GLOBAL SILICA SAND MARKET VOLUME & VALUE

PROJECTED END-USER MARKET GROWTH

› Based on the end-use, the market has been

classified into the glass industry, foundry, hydraulic

fracturing, filtration, abrasives and others. The glass

industry accounts for more than a third of the total

market, the largest end-use sector, followed by

foundry and hydraulic fracturing.

› IMARC expects high growth in demand from

North America, Latin America & Western Europe

due to increasing hydraulic fracturing. Silica sand

is used as a dominant proppant material in hydraulic

fracturing in North America as it is more affordable in

comparison with its substitutes.

› Several countries are preferring naturally available

shale gas in order to reduce their dependence on

crude oil. Shale gas is extracted using hydraulic

fracturing process, wherein silica sand is used as a

proppant. As a result, growth in shale gas production

is expected to increase the demand for silica sand.

› Increasing demand also from emerging markets

such as China and India from foundry and

construction industries.

FLOAT GLASS DEMAND

Credit: https://www.azobuild.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=1287, sichkarenko.com/shutterstock.com

› Silica sand forms an essential component in the

production of glass containers, ‘float’ glass, and

specialty glass that are further used in automotive,

construction and solar applications.

› The glass market is experiencing high growth due

to increased demand from the construction market,

rising automotive production and sales, mounting

per capita income, and technological

advancements.

› Emerging trends such as increasing usage of

hybrid guide plate, solar control glazing for

automotive and building glasses, lightweight glazing

glass, and advanced nanotechnology in ‘float’ glass

are also contributing towards the growth of the

glass industry.
