The use of artificial sand for construction work is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as environmental issues may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Driver
The use of artificial sand for construction work is notably driving the market growth. Construction and infrastructure projects make use of river sand. River sand provides strength, bulk, and adhesive properties to construction materials, such as cement, brick, asphalt, and concrete. It is also used for landscaping projects. However, since 2010, many regional governments and countries have banned the export of river sand. This is because sand mining results in the erosion of river banks and negatively impacts biodiversity. It is also exhausting rapidly because of extensive mining. In addition, most infrastructure and construction projects are situated away from river banks. The transportation of river sand from river banks to construction sites proves to be difficult and adds to the overall cost of the project. Hence, construction project owners opt for better alternatives to river sand. The artificial sand produced by this equipment is one of the best substitutes for river sand.
Artificial sand is produced by crushing basalt or granite rock through a 3-stage process. It is expected that shortly, most countries will ban the use of natural river sand, which, in turn, will positively impact the use of artificial sand. Government regulations, increasing prices, and less availability drive the demand for artificial sand by construction project owners. The number of construction projects is expected to increase, which will drive the demand for artificial sand during the forecast period. Such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Significant Trend
Automation of crushing equipment is a major trend in the market. The material that is required to be crushed into smaller pieces is lifted from its source and transported to the surge bin near the equipment. The material is then loaded into the feeder of the equipment. After this, an operator runs this equipment manually till the entire process is completed. Small parts of the material that are procured after the original material are then transported to a screener that separates them according to their sizes.
Operating this equipment manually consumes more time and requires a highly skilled workforce. This operation time can be minimized if this equipment is connected to another construction equipment and their operations are automated. The whole operation can be automated by installing sensors in the equipment. If the entire process is automated, the original material to be crushed can be loaded into the conveyor belt from the source. This conveyor belt can then load the material into the feeder, where sensors will detect it and automatically start the process of material crushing. Automation can reduce the operation and transportation time, minimize the number of operators required to run the entire process, and decrease the overall cost. Thus, the increasing demand for automation of this equipment will drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
Major Challenge
Environmental issues are a major challenge impeding the market. All quarrying and stone processing operations, such as surface mining, screening, crushing, and material handling, are sources of high particulate emissions. During the operations, the generation of a significant amount of particulate matter is inherent, and these emissions are most frequent at the crusher feed and discharge points. The greater the reduction ratio during subsequent stages from primary to tertiary crushing, the higher the emission levels.
Primary jaw crushers generate more particulate emissions and dust than cone crushers due to the bellows effect of the jaw and because cone crushers are mostly choke-fed. This minimizes open spaces from where particulate emissions and dust may be emitted. For subsequent reduction stages, roller or cone-type crushers generate more particulate matter and dust. This is a major challenge that is expected to impede mining activities, which, in turn, will hinder the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

The jaw crushers segment was valued at USD 771.69 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Jaw crushers are used in the construction, infrastructure, and mining industries. It consists of two vertical jaws and the void created between these two jaws is called a crushing chamber. Materials to be crushed are fed into this chamber. A jaw crusher exerts a mechanical force on these materials to break them into small pieces. Jaw crushers are heavy equipment and are made up of robust materials. To ease the process of transportation, jaw crushers are constructed in parts, especially if they are to be used for underground operations, such as mining. Jaw crushers are the most widely used and have great demand across various end-user segments. Jaw crushers are expected to witness the maximum growth rate. The major factor for this growth rate is innovation and technological advances in this segment, such as the increased crushing rate of materials. companies come up with the latest models from time to time, which can crush more materials per hour. This increases productivity and provides a uniform product. companies also try to provide enhanced protection to crushers by offering advanced relief systems. These systems protect jaw crushers in the event of an entry of any uncrushable object into the crusher. This, as a result, attracts many potential customers from different industries. In addition, factors such as long shelf life, high productivity, easy maintenance, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, convenient replacement of spare parts, the range of feeding capacity, the reduction ratio of materials, low noise pollution, and low energy consumption will increase global demand.
