In year 2020, the silica sand market is expected to witness decline in demand as a negative impact of COVID 19 pandemic. The partial and complete lockdowns across countries in Asia Pacific have decreased the construction, chemical production, foundry, and glass manufacturing activities. Hence, the shutdown of production simultaneously lead to decline in demand for raw materials and silica sand is one of the key raw material.

Moreover, COVID-19 is impacting the production process of several manufacturing industries and businesses. Moreover, trade barriers are further reducing the demand-supply outlook. Factors such as the closure of assembly plants in India and large-scale manufacturing interruptions across Asia Pacific have negatively impacted the construction sector. This has ultimately hampered the silica sand market to a certain extent.

As per Growth Market Reports industry analyst Vidya Jadhav, “The Asia Pacific Silica Sand Market is anticipated to witness significant growth during forecast period 2021-2027 driven by the growing demand for silica sand across glass manufacturing. Moreover, the total expenditure on the construction industry in Asia Pacific itself was estimated to be half of the total world’s spending on construction.

Thus, high spending on construction contributes to the market growth. The China and India are major market for silica sand in Asia Pacific region and are projected to continue dominance due to strong silica sand-based glass manufacturing industry, boom in construction activities, and growing hydraulic fracking activities.”
