The Asia Pacific low-grade silica sand market size reached 53.3 Million Metric Tons in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach 69.9 Million Metric Tons by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.06% during 2023-2032.
Low-grade silica sand, also called ordinary silica sand, is primarily composed of quartz and other materials, such as feldspars, carbonates, clay minerals, iron oxides, etc. It contains less than 99% of SiO2 and more than 0.01% of iron oxide. Low-grade silica sand finds diverse applications in glassmaking, water filtration, industrial casting, sandblasting, hydraulic fracturing, etc. This can be accredited to its numerous benefits pertaining to high granularity, better resistance against heat and chemical reactions, improved strength, enhanced durability, etc.
Apart from this, the expanding renewable energy sector has led to the increasing utilization of low-grade silica sand in glass-based photovoltaic modules, which is also catalyzing the product demand. Moreover, extensive R&D activities for the utilization of low-grade silica sand in lightweight glazing glass, nanotechnology in flat glass, solar control glazing for building glass, etc., are positively influencing the market growth. Additionally, the expanding applications of low-grade silica sand in numerous shale gas exploration activities are expected to bolster the Asia Pacific silica sand market.
