Market Overview:
The global fused silica sand market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for solar energy and semiconductor and electronics products. In addition, the growing use of fused silica sand in refractories and ceramics applications is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, fluctuations in prices of raw materials used for manufacturing fused silica sand may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
A type of sand that is made by fusing together small pieces of quartz. It is used in a variety of applications, including making glass and optical fiber.
First Grade Material:
First grade material is a high-quality sand that has passed the test of sifting and screening. It contains very less quantity of iron, silica and other minerals. The grains in first grade material are large, round and smooth with no sign of coarseness. This type of sand is preferred for making glass containers as it can hold a higher amount of liquid than second or third grade materials can.
Second Grade Material:
Second grade material is a by-product obtained during the manufacturing of glass. It consists of sand and other small particles, which are collected from the bottom of a container where the molten glass has been poured. The size range for second grade material is usually between 0.3 to 3 mm, depending on the container size and its use in industries such as construction or automotive aftermarket parts manufacturing.
Application Insights:
The solar industries application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The product has emerged as an effective medium for obtaining low thermal conductivity fused silica sand with high strength and stability, which are essential requirements for manufacturing components used in photovoltaic (PV) modules.
Fused silica sand is widely utilized in refractory applications owing to its superior properties including resistance against heat, chemical attacks, corrosion and abrasion. It finds application as a replacement material for traditional types such as ceria, alumina-based products and ferrosilicon carbides due to its better mechanical properties than other materials currently used by industry participants operating at global levels since these materials have no substitute globally available on a commercial scale thus driving growth further over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rapid industrialization, availability of cheap labor, raw material suppliers, and land availability for expansion. China is one of the largest producers as well as consumers of these products in this region owing to presence of large number semiconductor and electronics manufacturers in that country.
The demand for fusible silica sand from North America was low as compared to other regions due to stringent regulations regarding pollution caused during mining operations coupled with high cost associated with transportation. However, increasing demand from solar industries due to rising installations across residential buildings is anticipated boost regional product demand over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Fused Silica Sand from the glass and ceramics industry as a result of its superior properties such as thermal stability, chemical resistance, and optical clarity.
- Growing demand for Fused Silica Sand in the semiconductor industry due to its high purity and uniform particle size distribution.
- Rising use of Fused Silica Sand in the manufacture of solar cells owing to its excellent light transmission properties.
- Increasing application scope of Fused Silica Sand in water filtration systems due to its high mechanical strength and abrasion resistance characteristics.
