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.

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.

ZIRCON
SAND MARKET BY GEOGRAPHY
The
report analyses various geographical regions such as North America, Europe,
Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. The market in APAC is expected to grow at
the highest CAGR during the forecast period. APAC is likely to continue to hold
the highest market share during the forecast period. Countries such as India
and China are expected to dominate the market in the coming years. China is one
of the fastest growing economies across the globe, and most of the end-use
industries in the country are anticipated witness significant growth owing to
its increasing population and enhanced standard of living. China is observing
rapid growth in the nuclear power plant, which is anticipated to improve the
demand for zircon. Additionally, China is one of the leading market leaders of
the ceramic sector. The steel and iron industry consumes the major part of
refractories. The steady growth in the manufacturing of steel and iron has been
propelling the market growth. The growth of industries such as foundry,
ceramic, and refractories is projected to impel the market growth during the
projected timeframe.
COMPETITIVE
