Report Description


US Glassmaking Silica Sand Market Outlook

The US glassmaking silica sand market size was valued at USD 1.16 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 1.51 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The demand for high-grade silica sand for glassmaking is growing as the use of glass products for multiple applications is on the rise.

Moreover, the use of glass in different industries such as the automotive, construction, and food and beverages industry is fueling the demand for glass products which in turn is driving the US glassmaking silica sand market.

US Glassmaking Silica Sand Market Outlook

Growing acceptance of glass packaging due to growing environmental concerns and high investments in solar infrastructures are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the US glassmaking silica sand market in the future.

US Glassmaking Silica Sand Market Dynamics

Glass is a luxurious, decorative, and functional material that is used in various industries. This highly versatile material is used in various applications ranging from construction to advanced aeronautics. Silica sand (SiO2) is an essential raw material used for manufacturing glass. This is increasing the demand for glass, which is expected to significantly fuel the growth of the US glassmaking silica sand market during the forecast period.

Moreover, rising awareness about the various properties of glass such as rust resistance, weather resistance, and a good conductor of electricity is increasing its demand, thereby spurring market growth.

Silica is the main constituent of the lithosphere and its various industrial applications make it a vital material. Conversely, its rapid extraction damages the environment. Silica mining causes sinkholes, land erosion, and loss of biodiversity. The chemicals used in mining result in the contamination of the soil, water bodies, and groundwater.

Environmental activists and local government bodies are enforcing strict rules and raising awareness about the ill effects of silica mining. This, in turn, is hampering the glassmaking silica sand market.

Glass is widely used in the construction of solar panels. The photovoltaic materials utilized in solar panels are supported by layers of glass. Solar panels are adopted by around two-thirds of corporate offices since 2015 in the US. The Government of the US is taking an active part in promoting renewable energy sources. Increasing preference for solar energy has increased its share in the US electrical generation from just 0.1% in 2010 to over 3% in 2020.

Rising solar energy generation is projected to increase the demand for solar panels in the US. This, in turn, is expected to propel the demand for glass-making silica sand to produce glass for solar panels by creating opportunities in the market.
