MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Zircon sand is a major raw material used in the production of glazes, opacifiers, and frits, decorative and floor tiles, steel and glass refractories, specialized glass and metal castings. Consumption of zircon products for the manufacturing of faceplates for computer screens and TV monitors continues to increase, particularly in developing countries such as India. The surged use of zircon sand in numerous applications continues with China being in the forefront of new production facilities to service these industries. Various upcoming construction projects of nuclear power stations across the globe will create sustained demand for zirconium metal in this very specialized market. The major driving force in zircon demand is obvious in Asia Pacific and Europe where numerous consuming industries have expanded across the board, increasing the usage to the extent that global demand exceeds global production capacity.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Factors such as gap between demand and supply is expected to hamper the zircon sand market. Moreover, high tariffs and stringent mining policies are anticipated to hinder the zircon sand market. From the past few years, there has been a global increase in regulation within the areas of the transport, environment, and health and safety. Regulations are becoming more stringent, whilst seeing a global trend in harmonization.

MARKET GROWTH CHALLENGES 

Increase in prices of zircon sand is likely to restrict the market growth in the coming years. For instance, there has been a steady increase in zircon sand pricing on the back of Iluka Resources raising their prices by USD 70/mt for Q2 2021 deliveries. Other key producers, such as Tronox and RBM, have followed suit and raised their prices by a similar amount. Prices now stand at about USD 1490-1520/mt CIF China port. Prices are expected to continue upwards heading into Q3 owing to a healthy demand for downstream zirconium products.

CUMULATIVE GROWTH ANALYSIS 

The report provides in-depth analysis of global zircon sand market, market size, and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the forecast period of 2019-2028, considering 2021 as the base year.

MARKET SEGMENTAL OVERVIEW

The zircon sand market is bifurcated into Product, End-Use Industry and Geography.

ZIRCON SAND MARKET BY PRODUCT

The global zircon sand market is studied for various products such as colourless, yellow-golden, brown and others. The colourless segment is expected to account for the largest market share and is anticipated to grow with a significant share. The factors can be accredited to its high demand in end-use industries. Zircon sands are rounded, naturally occurring sands used in refractory, ceramic, foundry, and precision investment casting applications. They are important components in the production of ladle brick, glazes, coatings, wall tiles, shell molds and cores, and metal chills. Thus, an increasing use of zircon sand in refractory, the steel foundry industry, weld fluxes and ceramics application is accredited to the growth of the market.

ZIRCON SAND MARKET BY END-USE INDUSTRY

The report analyses various end-use industries of zircon sand such as ceramics, refractory materials, medical & healthcare, building & construction and others. The building & construction segment is anticipated to hold a significant share of the zircon sand market during the estimated timeframe. This is primarily accredited to the surge in the investment in the building & construction industry across the globe. In addition, increasing use of zircon sand in ceramic industry is also likely to fuel the growth of the market in the coming years. Advanced ceramics is a well-known commercial application for zircon sand. Traditional ceramics, such as bricks and clays, are usually porous, hard, and brittle. Advanced ceramics refers to ceramic materials that have been specially designed to enhance those features.

In addition, during the manufacturing of ceramic tile, zircon sand is mostly used in the form of flour. Zircon sand is sometimes used to enhance abrasion resistance of glazed surfaces, particular floor tiles. The characteristics that make zircon an ideal opacifier are its high refractive index. Fine zircon grains also scatter visible light, making ceramics appear opaque and white. An additional characteristic that makes zircon sand attractive for ceramic manufacturing is its high hardness, which helps to resist mechanical damage and scratching.
