India Industrial Sand Market Trends:

Growing Demand from the Construction and Infrastructure Sector

The India industrial sand market share is expanding significantly due to the increasing demand from the construction and infrastructure sector. With rapid urbanization, government-led infrastructure projects, and rising real estate developments, the need for high-quality industrial sand in cement, concrete, and asphalt production is increasing. For instance, according to a research paper published on February 11, 2025, 600 million people would live in cities in India by 2036. Given that this urban growth is predicted to account for 75% of the country's GDP, sustainable urban planning is essential. Additionally, smart city initiatives and modern transportation projects, including highways and metro rail networks, are further boosting the market. The use of industrial sand in specialty applications, such as precast concrete and high-strength glass, is also gaining momentum. These factors collectively contribute to the expanding market share of industrial sand in India.

Rising Adoption in the Glass and Foundry Industries

The growing demand for industrial sand in the glass and foundry industries is driving the India industrial sand market. With the rising production of flat glass, fiberglass, and container glass, fueled by the automotive and packaging sectors, the need for high-purity silica sand is increasing. Additionally, foundries rely on industrial sand for metal casting applications, supporting the growth of the automotive and heavy machinery industries. The expansion of renewable energy projects, particularly in solar panel manufacturing, further strengthens the demand for industrial sand. For instance, in line with the country's sustainability goals, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) announced major developments in India's renewable energy sector on December 31, 2024. India increased its installed capacity to over 214 GW in 2024 by adding 27 GW of renewable energy capacity, with wind energy accounting for 47.96 GW and solar energy for 94.17 GW. Furthermore, within ten months, the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana installed 7 lakh rooftop solar systems, with an average of 70,000 installations per month. This represents a ten-fold increase over prior averages. As industries seek high-quality raw materials, there is an increase in demand of industrial sand which in turn is positively impacting India industrial sand market outlook.
