Key Trends in the Market

Construction sand refers to sand that is used in construction applications. Sand is small grains of rock and granular materials which can be categorised by size as they are finer than gravel and rough than slit. They come in different sizes and have multiple properties. Sand is made from the erosion and weathering of rocks when carried by sea and always have material like rock and oceanic sand, they are mainly made of silica minerals and rock particles. The most used sand for construction and industrial purpose is Silica sand, this type of sand is flexible enough to be mixed with water and cement to construct durable structures.

• With increased demand in the areas of construction and infrastructure, advancements in technologies and more schemes for urbanisation, construction is at high peak. This is bolstering the growth of the Saudi Arabia construction sand market as sand is a common material in construction as it helps binding everything together.

• The emerging trends like increase in the use of hybrid guide plates, solar control glazing in automotive and to build glass are increasing the glass manufacturing applications of construction sand. Due to the rapid growth in the glass industry for developing flat glass, lightweight glazing glass, consequently the demand for construction sand has also increased.

• Although Saudi Arabia imports a large volume of construction sand to meet its domestic needs, the rising production of synthetic sand in the nation is a key trend in the market. Improved supply chains and production capacities are likely to support the growth of the Saudi Arabia construction sand market in the coming years.

Market Share by Type

Compared to synthetic sand, natural sand is more affordable as it is naturally produced. However, natural sand is gradually becoming exhausted due to advancements in infrastructure, that being the reason the market for synthetic sand is in greater demand in the Saudi Arabia construction sand market. River sand mining also causes river pollution, construction waste, and tailing. Synthetic sand, also known as crushed sand, is produced by mechanically crushing and sieving the waste granules in order to form synthetic sand. The sales of synthetic sand are higher due to it being stable, having good gradation, shape and is high in performance.

Market Share by Application

In the Saudi Arabia construction sand market, the leading applications driving the market demand include construction and glass manufacturing as well as the increasing demand for the manufacturing of windows, doors, and railings, among others. Natural sands are known for their ideal use as fine aggregate in concrete. The particles in natural sand are round and almost spherical, the workability of this sand is well shaped compared to synthetic sand as it does not require immense amount of water to secure durability. These are used in the construction of buildings and masonry work.

The growing glass industry is also expected to increase the demand for glass manufacturing applications of construction sand. Glass is used in creating large windows, drinking glasses, partitions, and more. Glass manufactures have started producing more sturdy and durable glass because not only are they used for homes but are also industrially used for producing chemical, prisms, metal castings to name a few and that is intensively increasing Saudi Arabia construction sand market demand.
