Hydraulic Fracturing Driving the Global Demand for <strong>Silica</strong> <strong>Sand</strong><br />

R<strong>is</strong>ing hydraulic fracturing activities, particularly in North America, L<strong>at</strong>in America and Western Europe are<br />

expected to drive the demand <strong>of</strong> silica sand in the next five years.<br />

<strong>Silica</strong> sand or industrial sand <strong>is</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the most common varieties <strong>of</strong> sand found in the world. <strong>Silica</strong><br />

sand has been in use since ancient times and the art and skills <strong>of</strong> making glass objects using silica<br />

d<strong>at</strong>es back centuries. But today, owing to many physical and chemical properties <strong>of</strong> silica sand, it<br />

has acquired well diversified applic<strong>at</strong>ions across various industries all over the world. These<br />

properties include high silica content, high strength, easy availability, res<strong>is</strong>tant to he<strong>at</strong> and chemical<br />

reactions, etc. Some <strong>of</strong> silica sand’s applic<strong>at</strong>ions include w<strong>at</strong>er filtr<strong>at</strong>ion, glass making, industrial<br />

casting, sand blasting, adding texture to slick roads, sand fin<strong>is</strong>hes in paints and co<strong>at</strong>ings, etc. In<br />

recent years, the demand <strong>of</strong> industrial silica sand has increased significantly in the hydraulic<br />

fracturing market as well.<br />

According to IMARC group’s l<strong>at</strong>est report “<strong>Silica</strong> <strong>Sand</strong> <strong>Market</strong> – Industry Trends, Manufacturing<br />

Process, Plant Setup, Machinery, Raw M<strong>at</strong>erials, Cost and Revenue” the global silica sand<br />

production was worth 171 Million Tons with the market growing <strong>at</strong> a <strong>CAGR</strong> <strong>of</strong> around <strong>4.7%</strong> during<br />

<strong>2008–2015</strong>.

Report Description and Highlights<br />

Although, the demand <strong>of</strong> commercial silica products declined due to the global economic cr<strong>is</strong><strong>is</strong> in<br />

2009, the market however, recovered and once again picked up growth from the year 2010. The<br />

report has segmented the silica sand market on the bas<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> five key end-use industries mainly<br />

glass, foundry, hydraulic fracturing, filtr<strong>at</strong>ion and abrasives. Glass currently represents the largest<br />

consumer <strong>of</strong> silica sand followed by foundry, hydraulic fracturing, filtr<strong>at</strong>ion and abrasives. Other<br />

applic<strong>at</strong>ions like recre<strong>at</strong>ional products, paints etc., account for the remainder <strong>of</strong> the global silica<br />

sand demand.<br />

The report has also segmented the market on the bas<strong>is</strong> <strong>of</strong> region. Country-w<strong>is</strong>e, the United St<strong>at</strong>es<br />

domin<strong>at</strong>es the global silica sand market in terms <strong>of</strong> production and thus most <strong>of</strong> the key players<br />

are concentr<strong>at</strong>ed in th<strong>is</strong> region. The United St<strong>at</strong>es <strong>is</strong> followed by Italy, Germany, Turkey and<br />

Australia. In terms <strong>of</strong> consumption, however, the Asia-Pacific region represented the biggest<br />

consumer <strong>of</strong> silica sand followed by North America and Western Europe. Looking forward, high<br />

growth r<strong>at</strong>es are expected in North America, L<strong>at</strong>in America and Western Europe due to increasing<br />

hydraulic fracturing activities in these regions. On the other hand, growth r<strong>at</strong>es in emerging<br />

markets like India and China are likely to increase mainly due to a r<strong>is</strong>ing demand <strong>of</strong> silica sand in<br />

the foundry and construction industries.
