Technavio’s market research analyst predicts that the global silica minerals mining market will grow at a steady CAGR of just over 5% during the forecast period. Due to the resurgence of the global gas industry, the silica minerals mining industry has been experiencing a high demand for sand. Silica sand is used in the oil industry for the hydraulic fracturing process as it helps in the extraction of gasses. With the growing demand for silica from oil companies, the growth prospects for this market will witness a stark increase until the end of the predicted period.
The market demand for silica minerals is very high due to an increase in horizontal well drilling by oil companies. Service companies like Schlumberger are always refining fracking techniques and technologies so that they can maximize hydrocarbon recovery from every well. One of the most used techniques is horizontal drilling, which requires more stages in the fracking process. This means that more proppant has to be used at each stage, resulting in a higher need for silica sand. This market trend favors the growth of the silica minerals mining market during the forecast period.
The glass segment dominates the global silica minerals mining market and is expected to use close to 74 million metric tons of silica minerals by the end of the forecast period. Much of this growth can be attributed to the rise in demand for silica sand from industries such as construction, solar panels, specialty glass, and automotive. Furthermore, with the growth of the beer and wine industry in China, the demand for glass-based packaging materials will increase significantly over the next few years.
