Middle East Silica Sand Market Outlook
The Middle East silica sand market size reached around USD 406.73 million in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% between 2024 and 2032 to reach a value of USD 594.76 million by 2032.
Key Takeaways
- In 2020, Saudi Arabia was amongst the top exporters of silica sand globally.
- Saudi Arabia has reserves of around 40 million tons of silica sand.
- Rising construction activities and government investments in infrastructure development in the Middle East are anticipated to be beneficial for the market as silica sand is used as a building material for products like cement and roofing.
Whole grain silica sand is employed in the manufacture of roofing shingles, cement, mortars, asphalt mixtures, and other flooring materials. Its properties contribute to increased durability, and the role of functional extender is fulfilled by ground silica, an anti-corrosive material.
The construction sector in the Middle Eastern region has experienced rapid growth, and is anticipated to grow further, owing to government investments supporting the same. These developments are likely to aid the silica sand market in the region as it is widely used in the construction sector as an important material in the manufacture of mortars, concrete, and other building materials.
Besides construction, silica sand finds applications in various industries, including glass manufacturing, production of solar panels, and in the oil and gas sector as a proppant in the hydraulic fracturing process.
