The effect of COVID-19 pandemic situation has led to the closure of several non-essential businesses reducing the demand for industrial goods in the world, which in turn, is affecting several industries worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down the production activities across industries producing silica sand and its applications in the country.

The demand for glassmaking silica sand has declined throughout the pandemic, as many glass manufacturers have completely shut down or halted their production. Moreover, industries such as automobile and construction have halted temporarily in the country during the lockdown period and this in turn is lowering the demand for glass products from these end-user industries.

The crisis is likely to force some companies to think about changing their business models. Regarding the glassmaking silica sand market as demand has been growing at low growth rate during pandemic situation, production and processing of glassmaking silica sand has been stopped or halted and the market is expected to witness sluggish growth post COVID.

As per Growth Market Reports' industry analyst Vidya Jadhav “In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and succeeding limitations on industrial activities, end-user industries including automotive, construction, electronics industry, and ithers have reduced their production. The demand for glassmaking silica sand is thus facing a slender decline across regions in US.

The market is expected to remain affected for the next 3 quarters of 2021. However, the demand for glassmaking silica sand in US is anticipated to gain its pre pandemic momentum in terms demand in next 2 years.”
