Japan Silica Sand Industry Trends and Drivers:

The Japan silica sand market size is witnessing steady growth due to the continuing demand from glass manufacturing, foundry applications for superior molding sand and other industrial applications based on the special physical and chemical characteristics of silica sand. The size of silica sand industry in glass industry in Japan is the largest, and in the container glass industry, flat glass industry for construction and automotive and specialty glass need very high pure silica sand as a main raw material. Glass demand from the construction industry for windows, facades and architectural HVAC applications along with automotive glass and photovoltaic (pv) glass demands from the solar energy industry present a stable source of demand for silica sand. Prior to this, silica sand is also widely demanded for capture in oil wells to enhance extraction flow, and hence the oil drilling industry also makes us of this product. Furthermore, the foundry industry also accounts for significant requirement of silica sand that is especially needed during the process of metal casting in automotive components as well as industrial machines.

The versatile applications of silica sand, such as a filtration media in water and wastewater treatment, as an abrasive in sandblasting and surface preparation, and as a filler material in construction products, paints, and coatings is driving the market. Increasing focus on water quality and treatment infrastructure results in demand for silica sand for use in filtration having specific particle size distributions and purity grades to be applied in municipal and industrial water treatment. The technological needs of electrons in electronics manufacturing which includes semiconductor manufacturing or solar panel manufacture results in high-purity silica demand segments that are niche and command high prices. In addition, Japan's dependence on imported silica sand to cover its domestic needs from domestic production as well as the establishment of a domestic supply chain and potential for the development of domestic quarries where geological formations and environmental regulations allow. The focus on sustainable resource management and the production of recycled silica sand from industrial processes and spent foundry sand are emerging/states of the art trends combating to environmental impacts and resource efficiency. The standards of quality for the purity of silica sand, distribution of particle size and levels of contaminations result into the uniformity of material properties when used in any application, while logistics management that cover transportation of bulk material play a decisive role in influencing market dynamics in Japan silica sand market.
