COVID-19 impact on global washed silica sand market
With the rise in cases of COVID-19, implementation of emergency protocols and shutdown of various operations and facilities have been observed during 2020. The outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, has spread across the major APAC, European, and North American countries, affecting the market for washed silica sand since most of the global companies have their headquarters in these countries. This impact of COVID-19 had caused disruption in the supply chain, which had slowed down the market growth due to lack of raw materials and unavailability of workforce.
In 2020, the washed silica sand market was impacted to a very low extent by the COVID-19 pandemic with a nominal decline in CAGR. The market has been hampered owing to reduced raw material production, supply chain disruptions, and hampered trade movements during 2020. The end-use industries, such as glass, foundry, and ceramic & refractories, were affected by the pandemic.
Washed Silica Sand Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand for washed silica sand in glass production
Glass manufacturing is one of the key applications of washed silica sand, and the growth of the glass industry coupled with the increasing demand for container and flat glasses has contributed to the growth of the washed silica sand market. Silica sand provides the essential Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) required for glass formulation, which makes silica the primary component in all types of standard and specialty glass production. Although the production of glass needs a variety of different commodities, silica represents more than 70% of its final weight. Its chemical purity is the primary determinant of colour, clarity, and strength of the glass produced.
VRX Silica, one of the major manufacturers of washed silica sand, projected that the glass production in APAC is expected to increase by 7%-8% soon, thus driving the washed silica sand demand. Further, a surge in demand for glass vials from the pharmaceutical industry across the globe is anticipated thus creating a significant demand for washed silica sand for glass manufacturing application.
Restraint: Stringent government regulations on the usage of washed silica sand
Silica is classified as a hazardous substance and is therefore regulated under Chapter 4 of the Hazardous Substances of the 2017 Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. This means that an employer has a legal duty to identify hazards and eliminate or control any risk, provide information and training, undertake atmospheric monitoring, maintain records and, in the case of crystalline silica, carry out health surveillance. The National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC - now SafeWork Australia) has revised the exposure standards for the three forms of crystalline silica, quartz, cristobalite, and tridymite. These regulations and mandates have prompted manufacturers to employ new techniques to maintain a safe working environment. This, in turn, can lead to reduced profit margins and may hamper the growth of the washed silica sand market to some extent.
Opportunity: Rise in construction and infrastructural activities
The rise in construction and infrastructural activities is expected to drive the demand for washed silica sand across the globe during the forecast period. Silica sand is largely used in glass production; about 65%-70% of the raw material is silica sand in glass volume. Persistently growing demand for flat glass and architectural glass is expected to support the growth of the market in the future.
According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs/Population Division and World Population, the global population is projected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050. The ever-increasing population, as well as the industrial boom after the economic slowdown of 2020, has given rise to new constructions in both commercial and residential sectors thus supporting washed silica sand demand.
Challenge: Health Hazards due to Silica exposure
Crystalline silica is considered one of the most common and serious occupational hazards to workers¡¯ health. The market for washed silica sand is hampered due to its adverse effects on the worker¡¯s health. According to the National Health Portal of India, exposure to large amounts of free silica may not be noticed as silica is odourless, non-irritant, and does not cause any immediate health effects, but long-term exposure to crystalline silica-containing dust is associated with pneumoconiosis, and progressive massive fibrosis of the lung (PMF), lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, and other lung diseases, and airways diseases. Therefore, the adverse effects of silica flour on human health act as a major challenge for the market¡¯s growth.
Washed silica sand with Fe content >0.01% is widely preferred.
Based on Fe content, silica sand with iron content >0.01% is projected to be the largest segment in the washed silica sand market. Silica sand, often called quartz sand, white sand, industrial sand, and silica sand includes sand with high silicon dioxide (SiO2) content. It is a hard, crystalline mineral that consists of silicon and oxygen atoms. Silica sand with iron content >0.01% is estimated to be the largest segment in the washed silica sand market in 2020. Washed silica sand with Fe content >0.01% is extensively used for glass manufacturing such as bottles, plate glass, window glass, amber and green glass, and coloured wares. The hardness, high density, and high chemical resistance offered by silica sand are likely to contribute to the higher demand of this segment.
Particle size 0.5mm ¨C 0.7mm is the largest segment for washed silica sand.
Based on particle size, 0.5mm -0.7mm is projected to be the largest segment in the washed silica sand market. Silica sand, in terms of particle size, is divided into three categories, which are less than 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm ¨C 0.7 mm, and more than 0.7mm. These particles fall under different categories of the U.S. standard sieve numbers ranging from 4 mesh to 200 mesh categories. The most common application of this particle size is in glassmaking. In order to be suitable for glassmaking, washed silica sand needs to pass a 30-mesh sieve, which is 0.59 mm granule size.
Significant increase in the demand for washed silica sand in glass production
By Application, glass is projected to be the largest segment in the washed silica sand market. The demand is specifically witnessed for fiberglass, container glass, and specialty glass. Properties such as high strength and low weight make fiberglass and speciality glass preferable to be used in construction, automotive, solar, and wind energy industries. The growth of this segment can be attributed to the keen interest of contractors and builders to use washed silica sand to produce fiberglass for construction activities (as a construction and insulation material), especially in the emerging economies of APAC and South America. Further, the increasing demand for container glasses in pharmaceutical and other industries are expected to boost the market demand.
APAC region to lead the global washed silica sand market by 2026.
APAC accounted for the largest market share of about 36.1%, in terms of value in 2020. The growing population and rapid urbanization are among the key factors propelling industry expansion in this region. The growing glass, oil well cement, foundry, construction, and other industries in several APAC countries are fueling the demand for washed silica sand in the region. According to VRX Silica, one of the largest silica sand manufacturers, flat glass, specialty glass, and solar glass are growing at 6%, 10%, and 30%, persistently.
