Rising construction activities; presence of significant reserves of silica sand; growing inclination towards renewable sources; and Saudi Arabia’s reliance on water desalination are impacting the Saudi Arabia silica sand market growth
Construction projects boosting the demand for silica sand
Rising construction activities and government initiatives to build infrastructure in Saudi Arabia are expected to benefit the market, as silica sand is utilised as a building material for products such as cement and roofing.
Growing demand for automobiles boosting its production
Transportation and mobility needs are majorly driving the purchase of cars in Saudi Arabia. Larger families in the Kingdom are investing in multiple cars for comfortable group trips. The growing demand for automobiles is increasing their production, boosting the utilisation of silica sand which is mainly used in producing flat glass for automobiles.
Increasing oil and gas production
Frac sand is pumped down wells and into the oil-bearing strata to enhance permeability and the flow of oil into the well during oil production processes. Hydraulic fracturing using horizontal drilling is a growing market for silica sand.
Presence of rich silica sand reserves and rising applications
Saudi Arabia has rich deposits of minerals, including >98% high-purity silica sand. In Saudi Arabia, there is an abundance of high-grade silica sand deposits located around 1,000 km from the Jeddah industrial city, the main glass manufacturing centre in the country.
Extensive uses of silica sand
Due to its favourable properties, abundance, and cost benefits, silica sand finds extensive use in various end-use sectors, including construction, oil and gas, metal casting, glass, water and wastewater filtration, and paint and coating, among others.
Increasing production of silica sand
Saudi Arabia has several high-quality silica sand deposits. With the rising demand for silica sand in diverse applications, manufacturers are investing in innovative solutions to enhance their production capacities of high-quality silica sand while minimising the utilisation of resources like water.
Shift to renewable energy sources
The Saudi Arabian government is encouraging the shift to renewable energy sources, which is expected to boost the demand for silica sand as a raw material in solar panels.
KSA’s reliance on desalination to meet its water needs
Severe over-consumption and lack of reliable renewable water sources have increased the country’s dependency on desalination processes. Silica sand has a sub-round to round shape and is a suitable water filtration to capture solids suspended in water.
Saudi Arabia’s mining sector is crucial for its economic development and is continuously obtaining support from the government. Silica is one of the industrial minerals targeted for mining in the country, which is supporting the Saudi Arabia silica sand market development. The government plans to make mining the third pillar of the economy, along with oil and downstream petrochemicals. The Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources (MEIMR) seeks to increase the sector's contribution to the GDP to USD 64 billion by 2030.
The ongoing construction of mega infrastructural projects such as Neom and the Red Sea Project is increasing the consumption of silica sand in the country.

Market Breakup by Form
Market Breakup by Type
Market Breakup by Application
Based on form, dry sand accounts for a significant share of the market
Dried silica sand is widely used in sports fields. It is used to build natural or synthetic fields in athletic fields, golf and sports turf applications. Silica sand finds application to repair greens and facilitates root aeration as well as fertilisation. There is an abundant supply of high-quality silica sand in Saudi Arabia, that is employed in construction, glass manufacturing, foundry casting, and the manufacture of electronics and ceramics.
Washed wet silica sand is made by crushing open sandstone or quartzite of open texture that has been washed and graded to ensure proper grain distribution. Machines with advanced technology are used to process washed wet silica sand. Wet silica sand finds usage in application areas including foundry, casting, alloys, glass, stamped concrete, water treatment, and more.
Based on application, the glass industry significantly contributes to the Saudi Arabia silica sand market revenue
The excellent fire resistance, chemical stability, and wear resistance of silica sand have increased its demand in glass production. Moreover, silica sand that can endure acid and alkali and has minimal linear expansion co-efficiency levels has been preferred in glassmaking. There is a growing demand for silica sand in container glasses for beverages, food, and tableware applications. Further, it is also used in speciality glasses including television and CRT monitors as well as incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
Silica sand can be blended with other base materials and metals, including aluminium, copper, and iron, among others, to produce a mould for holding the molten metal and producing a casting.
Silica sand forms the primary structural component in various construction products, including mortars, flooring, roofing shingles, cement, and asphalt, among others. As silica sand is corrosion, weather, and wear-resistant and improves structural integrity and durability, its utilisation as a sealant and caulk has increased.
