玻璃工业用硅砂全球市场-2024年至2029年预测Global Silica Sand Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 for Glass Industry |
玻璃产业硅砂市场预计在预测期内(2024-2029年)复合年增长率为8.24%。
玻璃生产需要二氧化硅。硅砂富含二氧化硅和二氧化硅,是玻璃製造的重要原料。然而,并不是所有的砂资源都可以用于玻璃生产,现实更加严峻:每年使用的500亿吨砂中,只有1%适合玻璃生产。
所使用的硅砂决定了玻璃的质量,包括其耐用性、强度和透明度。在製造汽车挡风玻璃等产品时,仅使用优质硅砂非常重要。该玻璃符合汽车挡风玻璃的最高视觉标准。
选择用于玻璃製造的硅砂时要考虑的另一个重点是化学性质,化学性质根据瓶子的类型而变化。例如,牛奶瓶和伏特加酒瓶是无色透明的,没有绿色调。啤酒瓶有棕色或绿色两种,棕色玻璃可以更好地防止紫外线伤害。严格控制氧化铁、铬、锆石和金属(包括氧化铝)的含量,以确保硅砂符合玻璃製造商和最终客户的标准和期望。
因此,根据GTAI(德国贸易投资署)的数据,2021年德国汽车製造商生产了超过1500万辆汽车。 2021年,德国製造商将组装超过310万辆乘用车和351万辆商用车,使德国成为欧洲最大的汽车製造国。儘管如此,2024年印度乘用车、商用车、三轮车、两轮车和四轮车的产量将为28,434,742辆(根据印度品牌股权基金)。
此外,随着汽车变得越来越复杂,玻璃在其中的比例也在增加。 ADAS(高级驾驶辅助系统)仍然主要基于相机和感测器,其中通常包括玻璃零件。此外,更大的玻璃面积也用于外观和驾驶视野,如当前汽车设计中所见。
再者,电动车领域虽然比较新,但也与硅砂的间接使用有关。因此,随着电动车产量的增加,传统汽车的需求也会增加,这也将有利于汽车玻璃领域的硅砂。中国继续主导电动(和燃料电池)卡车和巴士的製造和销售。 2022年,中国将销售5.4万辆新型电动客车和5.2万辆新型电动中重型卡车,分别占中国总销量的18%和4%,约占80%和85%。
整体而言,玻璃替代售后市场对硅砂的需求量很大。事故、故意破坏和正常磨损促进了玻璃维修和更换业务的成长。
此外,玻璃产业新最终产品的开发,例如自洁玻璃和节能嵌装玻璃,需要具有特定性能的硅砂。这种专用玻璃需要优质硅砂才能达到适当的性能特性。
全球建设产业蓬勃发展,这是硅砂市场的主要驱动因素。几个相互关联的因素正在推动这种快速扩张。例如,都市化和人口扩张是重要原因。随着城市规模和人口密度的增长,对住宅和商业空间的需求也增加。结果是建设活动激增。投资加拿大的基础设施项目是政府支持各部门的一种方式。此外,该计划还致力于为加拿大人提供强大、永续和多元化的社区,并提供更好、可靠和现代化的服务,使人们的生活更加轻鬆。该计划的资金约为 330 亿美元,并得到加拿大住宅、基础设施和地区部与各省和地区之间双边协议的支持。同时,交通网络、医院、学校和公共建筑等强大基础设施的建设需要大量的混凝土和玻璃,这些都高度依赖硅砂。
政府行为也具有重要影响。基础设施发展措施、经济适用住宅政策和政府补贴都极大地推动了建筑活动。此外,全球化,包括房地产和计划外国直接投资的增加,正在促进建设产业的整体扩张。据此,美国人口普查局政府统计数据公布了2024年4月的许可证资料,新建住宅许可证数量为1440万套,竣工房屋数量为1623万套。摘要,都市化、人口成长、经济扩张、政府支持和全球化的结合创造了对硅砂等建材的强劲且持续的需求。
预计亚太地区将成为全球玻璃用硅砂市场的主要市场。有几个关键因素促成了快速扩张。首先,该地区在中国、印度和韩国的引领下正在快速工业化。这种产业扩张创造了建筑、汽车、电子设备等各行业对玻璃的庞大需求。此外,中国的「十四五」规划重点在于交通、能源、水利系统和都市化等新型基础建设计划。据预测,「十四五」期间(2021-2025年)新基建投资总额将超过27兆元(4.2兆美元)。
此外,根据上海市人民政府的资料,2023年中国电力零售额将达3,050亿美元,成长率为4%,2024年将上升至5%。
其次,由于都市化、可支配收入增加和大型政府基础设施计划,亚太地区的建筑业正在扩张。建设活动的增加增加了对玻璃产品的需求并增加了硅砂的使用。此外,印度、中国等国家汽车工业快速发展,对汽车玻璃零件的需求不断增加。同样,根据印度品牌股权基金会(IBEF)的统计,2023财年印度汽车产量将达到2,390万辆,包括乘用车和商用车。
此外,该地区对可再生能源(尤其是太阳能)的日益关注正在推动太阳能电池板製造中使用的硅砂的需求。鼓励工业成长和基础设施计划的政府政策为硅砂产业的蓬勃发展提供了环境。儘管存在环境法规和供应链中断,但该地区也是市场参与企业可以透过扩张到新兴市场、优先考虑永续性和形成策略联盟来增加资本的地区。
The global silica sand market for the glass industry is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.24% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Silicon dioxide is required for glass manufacture. Silica sand, rich in silica or silicon dioxide, is a vital raw material in glass manufacturing. However, not all sand resources can be considered usable for the manufacture of glass, and the reality is even bleaker: Only 1% of the 50 billion tons of sand used every year is considered fit for glass manufacture.
The silica sand used dictates the quality of the glass in terms of durability, strength, and clarity. It is crucial to utilize only high-quality silica sand when manufacturing items like car windscreens. This glass fulfills the best vision standards for automobile windscreens.
Another important consideration when selecting silica sand for glassmaking is its chemistry, which varies depending on the kind of bottle. Milk and vodka bottles, for example, are colorless and free of green tinges. Beer bottles are often brown or green, with brown glass providing better protection against UV radiation damage. The levels of iron oxide, chrome, zircon, and metals (including alumina) are closely managed to guarantee that the silica sand satisfies the criteria and expectations of both the glassmaker and the end customer.
Thus, the German manufacturers of automobiles fabricated more than 15 million units, according to the GTAI (Germany Trade & Invest), in 2021. More than 3.1 million passenger cars and 3,51,000 units come from commercial automobiles assembled in Germany's manufacturing industries in 2021, which shows that Germany is Europe's largest automotive manufacturing industry. Nonetheless, in fiscal year 2024, India produced 2,84,34,742 units of passenger vehicles, CVs, three-wheelers, two-wheelers & Quadricycle, as per the India Brand Equity Fund.
In addition, it can also be averred that as automobiles have become complex, the proportion of the glass in a car has also risen. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are still based primarily on cameras and sensors, among which there are often glass parts. Moreover, as is seen in current car designs, larger glass portions are also used for looks and to drive visibility.
Furthermore, even though the EV segment is relatively new, it relates to the indirect use of silica sand. Hence, when EV manufacturing rises, so does the requirement for conventional vehicles, which in turn benefits silica sand in the automotive glass sector. China continues to dominate the manufacture and sales of electric (and fuel cell) trucks and buses. In 2022, 54,000 new electric buses and 52,000 electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks were sold in China, accounting for 18% and 4% of its overall sales and about 80% and 85% of global sales, respectively.
Comprehensively, silica sand is in high demand in the glass replacement aftermarket. Accidents, vandalism, and normal wear and tear contribute to the growth of the glass repair and replacement business.
Moreover, the development of new finished goods in the glass industry, such as self-cleaning glass and energy-conserving glazing, calls for silica sand with certain characteristics. Both of these specialized glass varieties need good-quality silica sand to achieve the right performance characteristics.
The construction sector is undergoing a global boom, which is a main driver of the silica sand market. Several interrelated factors fuel this fast expansion. For instance, urbanization and population expansion are significant causes. As cities grow in size and population density, so does the need for housing and commercial space. This results in a spike in construction activity. Investing in Canada's infrastructure program is one of the ways the government supports various sectors. Moreover, the program also deals with strong, sustainable, and diverse communities for Canadian people and the availability of better, reliable, and updated services to make people's lives easier. The program funds are about USD 33 billion and have been received through two-party deals between Housing, Infrastructure, and Communities Canada and every province and territory. Concurrently, the construction of strong infrastructure, such as transportation networks, hospitals, schools, and public buildings, demands large amounts of concrete and glass, which are largely reliant on silica sand.
Government actions also have an important influence. Infrastructure development initiatives, affordable housing policies, and government subsidies all greatly boost building activity. Furthermore, globalization, which includes increased foreign direct investment in real estate and infrastructure projects, contributes to the overall expansion of the construction industry. In line with this, government statistics from the US Census Bureau presented permit data for April 2024, which included a total permit of 14,40,000 and the completion of 16,23,000 for new residential constructions. To summarise, combining urbanization, population increase, economic expansion, government backing, and globalization has resulted in strong and continuous demand for building materials such as silica sand.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to become a major market in the worldwide silica sand market for the glass sector. Several significant factors contribute to the quick expansion. Firstly, the area is rapidly industrializing, with China, India, and South Korea leading the way. This industrial expansion generates enormous demand for glass in various industries, including construction, automotive, and electronics. Moreover, China's 14th Five-Year Plan focuses on new infrastructure projects in transportation, energy, water systems, and urbanization. According to projections, the total investment in new infrastructure during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025) will be over 27 trillion yuan (USD 4.2 trillion).
Moreover, according to the Shanghai Municipal People's Government data, the retail sales of China's consumer electronics were USD 305 billion in 2023, with a 4% growth rate, and in 2024, the rate rose to 5%.
Secondly, Asia Pacific's construction sector is expanding due to urbanization, increased disposable incomes, and large government infrastructure projects. This increase in construction activity raises demand for glass goods, hence increasing silica sand usage. Furthermore, the automotive sector in nations such as India and China is rapidly increasing, resulting in an increased need for glass components in automobiles. Similarly, as per the statistics gathered from the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), organizations considering vehicle manufacturing in India for both passengers and commercial vehicles reached 23.90 million for the financial year 2023.
Furthermore, the region's growing emphasis on renewable energy, notably solar power, is pushing demand for silica sand, which is used in solar panel manufacture. Government policies encouraging industrial growth and infrastructure projects offer an enabling environment for the silica sand industry to thrive. While environmental rules and supply chain disruptions exist, the area also allows market participants to capitalize by expanding into developing markets, prioritizing sustainability, and forming strategic alliances.
