Based on application, the quartz sand market is categorized into the following segments:

• Oil and Gas
• Glass
• Chemical
• Ceramics
• Foundry
• others (filtering, electronics, etc.).

Sand is used in various products, and the term “quartz sand” is used as the essential raw material for the glass and foundry casting industries. It is also used in other industries, such as ceramics, chemicals, and water filtration, among others.

By end-use industries, the market is broadly segmented into six categories, such as the oil and gas industry, the glass industry, the chemical industry, the abrasives industry, the foundry industry, and others.

Quartz sand is extensively used in the glassmaking industry to make different types of glass, such as fiberglass, container glass, and flat plate. Quartz sand is also used as foundry sand for preparing the molds and cores of foundry work.

In 2016, the glass and foundry industries together accounted for approximately 50% of the market in terms of revenue, and it is projected that they will maintain their dominance during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025.

In 2016, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of quartz sand and was projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. This growth is attributed to the rising glass, electronics, and metal casting industries.

China is the largest regional market for quartz sand, supported by the dominant glass industry. India’s spurring foundry activity is projected to advance at a healthy rate, thus increasing the market demand for quartz sand.

Asia Pacific was followed by North America and accounted for more than 25% of the global quartz sand market. It is projected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period.

This growth will be driven by expansion in the countries’ hydraulic fracturing segments. Furthermore, rapid advances in the output of metal castings and glass products will stimulate market growth.
