Market Overview:
The global foundry silica sand market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for castings from the automotive and aerospace industries. In addition, the growing demand for silicon-based products in various end-use industries is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, quartz sand accounted for a major share of the global foundry silica sand market in 2017. This can be attributed to its properties such as high purity and thermal stability, which make it suitable for use in various applications such as molding and core making. Feldspar sand is expected to be one of the fastest-growing types during the forecast period owing to its properties such as low thermal expansion and good abrasion resistance. Based on application, molding accounted for a major share of the global foundry silica sand market in 2017. This can be attributed to factors such as rising demand from end-use industries and technological advancements that have led to an increase in casting complexity across different sectors.
Product Definition:
Foundry Silica Sand is a high-quality, consistent product that is used in the manufacturing of metal castings. The sand has a very low content of impurities and provides good thermal shock resistance, which is critical for producing quality castings.
Quartz Sand:
Quartz sand is a type of silicon dioxide-based mineral, composed of quartz and other minerals. It has different grades including extra white, ultra white, pure quartz and Canadian Quartz. The purity level of the product depends upon the degree to which impurities such as iron salts have been removed during processing.
Feldspar Sand:
Feldspar sand is a naturally occurring sand composed of potassium and sodium silicate. It is typically found in volcanic areas and can also be produced synthetically. The product finds application in the foundry industry owing to its high melting point, durability, purity, density, roundness & uniformity as well as because it has no color or taste.
Application Insights:
Molding was the largest application segment in 2017 and is projected to maintain its lead over the forecast period. The molding process uses silica sand as a component for manufacturing metal parts, which are used in various industries including automotive, construction and aerospace. Molding requires precise dimensional accuracy of the produced part; thus, high-quality products are preferred for this application segment.
The core segment is expected to register a significant CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for cores from various sectors such as energy & power, oil & gas and civil engineering among others. Silica sand cores are used in hydraulic fillers that provide consistent density across all core sizes thereby ensuring accurate sizing when combined with concrete or cement during construction activities at an industrial level. Increasing infrastructure investments globally will boost product demand over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global foundry silica sand market in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization and increasing demand for consumer electronics, automobiles, and other manufactured goods. China is anticipated to be a key country driving regional growth on account of its large steel industry as well as automobile sector.
The European market was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing high product utilization across several end-use industries such as aerospace & defense, automotive, construction & housing etc., especially in Germany and U.K., which are some of Europe's largest markets for foundry sands (in terms of volume).
North America accounted for over 15% share in 2016 due mainlyto high product demand from the U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for foundry silica sand from the automotive and construction industries as a result of the growth in these sectors.
- Rising demand for lightweight vehicles due to stringent emission norms, which is expected to drive the use of foundry silica sand in automotive applications.
- Growing popularity of green buildings, which will lead to an increase in demand for foundry silica sand used in concrete production.
- Rapid expansion of the Asia Pacific region, especially China and India, that will create opportunities for growth in the regional foundry silica sand market.
