During the first quarter of 2025, the silica sand prices in the USA reached 59 USD/MT in March. As per the silica sand price chart, the construction and fracking industries continued to be the primary drivers of demand for silica sand. Besides, environmental and regulatory policies, such as stricter mining regulations and environmental impact assessments, also influenced production costs and supply.
During the first quarter of 2025, silica sand prices in China reached 75 USD/MT in March. Overall industrial activity in China was sluggish in Q1 2025, impacting the demand for silica sand, a key material in construction and various industrial processes. Besides, U.S. export controls on certain goods, likely including those that use silica sand as an input, added to the pressure on Chinese silica sand prices.
During the first quarter of 2025, the silica sand prices in Germany reached 78 USD/MT in March. Prices in Germany were relatively stable throughout the quarter. This stability was primarily due to weak demand from the construction sector and subdued industrial activity, which balanced out the stable production and supply chains.
During the first quarter of 2025, the silica sand prices in Saudi Arabia reached 60 USD/MT in March. The strong demand from construction and industrial sectors, particularly due to Vision 2030 infrastructure projects and a thriving non-oil private sector influenced pricing trends for silica sand.
During the first quarter of 2025, the silica sand prices in Turkey reached 73 USD/MT in March. In Turkey, silica sand prices were influenced by a mix of factors including a depreciating Turkish lira, weak industrial activity, and oversupply concerns.

Latest developments in the Silica Sand industry:
Silica sand, also known as industrial sand, is a naturally occurring granular material composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), commonly in the form of quartz. It is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and is valued for its high purity and consistent grain size. Silica sand is typically derived from weathered sandstone deposits and is processed to remove impurities such as clay, iron, and other minerals. Its unique physical and chemical properties—such as hardness, high melting point, and chemical inertness make it an essential raw material across a wide range of industries.
The most prominent use of silica sand is in glass manufacturing, where it serves as the key ingredient for producing flat glass, container glass, and specialty glasses used in solar panels and electronics. Additionally, it plays a critical role in foundry casting, hydraulic fracturing (as frac sand in oil and gas extraction), water filtration systems, construction materials, and ceramics.
