Report Description


The global construction sands market size was valued at nearly USD 22.9 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 46.5 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing construction and rapid infrastructure sector developments primarily in the emerging economies worldwide.

Construction sand is mined from river beds by pulling out the grains through suction equipment and then processed for commercial usage. The processed sand is used for construction purposes that are composed of decomposed rock aggregate. The sand grains usually vary in size from 1.5mm to 2mm.

Construction Sands Market Outlook

Construction sand colors vary depending on the source. The variation in color is observed between light grey or white to reddish or yellow in hue. Construction sand is angular and cubicle in shape with a rough texture which is useful in concrete mixtures.

The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic restricted the construction sands market due to government-imposed lockdowns around the world. Lockdown restrictions led to supply chain disruptions on construction sites. The demand for raw materials needed at construction sites, such as sand reduced significantly, which hampered the market during the pandemic.

Construction Sands Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Growing population and increasing urbanization are fueling the construction industry around the world. A significant growth in the number of residential and commercial projects in emerging economies boosts the demand for sand in the construction sands market.

Construction Sands Market Dynamics

Existing Restraints

Technological advancements and R&D in the formation of bio-based construction adhesives are likely to hamper the extensive market. The use of sand in building structures is likely to reduce due to the increasing use of construction adhesives, as less skilled workmen are required to complete the construction tasks.

Emerging Opportunities

Increasing government initiatives around the world for encouraging construction activities in the form of infrastructure developments are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market during the forecast period.

Construction Sands Market Segment Insights

Type Segment Analysis

Based on type, the market is divided into natural sand and synthetic sand segments. The natural sand segment is expected to expand at a significant pace during the projection period, owing to its extensive use as a fine aggregate in concrete mixtures for construction. Natural sand particles are well-rounded and nearly spherical in shape, which decreases the creation of voids.

The use of cementitious materials reduces to a large extent, which is expected to boost the segment during the forecast period. The synthetic sand segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market, owing to hydrophilicity and high surface energy possessed by synthetically manufactured sands.

This segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market, as it possesses hydrophilicity, stable particle gradation, and high surface energy qualities. Synthetically manufactured sands do not require legal correspondences in the form of mining licenses reducing legal tangles for manufacturers which are expected to boost the segment.

Construction Sands Market Type

Application Segment Analysis

On the basis of application, the construction sands market is divided into glass & foundry, manufacturing, construction, ceramics & refractories, and others. The construction segment is projected to hold a key revenue share of the market, as sand is used in creating varied types of concrete and mortars. Growing applications found in porcelain, concrete, plaster, slate, granite, formwork, and brick for building constructions are likely to boost the segment during the forecast period.

The glass & foundry segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market due to the widescale purchase of specifically sized high-quality sands by foundries and glass manufacturers for molding and casting processes. Growing use of construction sand in forming the outer mold shape cavities is expected to boost the segment in the coming years.

Construction Sands Market Application

Regional Analysis

In terms of region, the global construction sands market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period owing to favorable government initiatives for encouraging infrastructure in China and India.

The expansion of residential buildings and construction projects for public use are estimated to boost the market in the region. North America is expected to dominate the market during the projection period owing to a well-established construction industry in the region. 

Increasing focus of government agencies for providing world-class infrastructure in the form of airports, underground transport systems, rail infrastructure, and roadways is expected to fuel the market during the forecast period.
