Forecast Year
- As per industry reports, in 2020, 4.2 billion tons of cement were produced worldwide.
- The housing development sector accounts for 40% of concrete consumption.
- Glass container production has surged by 1.7% annually since 2012, which is expected to favour the sand market dynamics.
Global Sand Market Growth
The African continent is receiving substantial investments from the United States, Europe, and the African Development Bank to reduce its infrastructure gap. As of 2022, the latter invested around USD 13.5 billion for the construction of over 18,000 km of roads and the development of 25 transportation corridors, 16 bridges, and 27 border posts. As per industrial analysis, the region is further expected to attract investments worth USD 500 million in the next few years for cross-border road connectivity projects. Additional projects include USD 259 Kazungula bridge, USD 15.2 billion for the Lagos-Abidjan highway, and the Mozambique-Beira corridor transport system. Roads are responsible for carrying 90% of all passenger traffic and 80% of all goods in Africa. However, just 43% of its overall population can currently access all-season roads. This is expected to contribute to the sand market expansion, as it is extensively used in road construction activities to provide a stable foundation for them.
By 2050, the size of the global population is expected to be USD 9.8 billion. It is estimated that around 68% of people are expected to reside in urban areas. This is expected to increase the demand for concrete for housing development, thereby driving the demand for sand.
