In order to deeply interpret the development status of the quartz sand industry and judge the future trend, Zhiyan Consulting has carefully compiled and launched the "2024-2030 China Quartz Sand Industry Market Development Status and Investment Planning Suggestions Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"). This report is not only a comprehensive and detailed combing of China's quartz sand market, but also the crystallization of Zhiyan Consulting's continuous tracking, on-site visits, in-depth research and accurate analysis over the years. It aims to help industry elites and investors grasp the pulse of the market more accurately, gain insight into industry trends, and provide strong support for future decision-making.
The report mainly studies the development of China's quartz sand industry, and the market segments include three parts: ordinary quartz sand, refined quartz sand and high-purity quartz sand, involving quartz sand and subdivided product output, demand, price, market size and other data.
The report analyzes the development status of the quartz sand industry in an all-round way from the aspects of domestic and foreign economic environment, domestic policies, and development trends, and provides corresponding suggestions and decision-making support for industry manufacturers to grasp industrial dynamics and future innovation trends.
Quartz sand is a quartz particle made by crushing quartz stone. Quartz sand is an important industrial mineral raw material, non-chemical dangerous goods, widely used in glass, casting, ceramics and fireproof materials, smelting ferrosilicon, metallurgical flux, metallurgy, construction, chemical, plastics, rubber, abrasives, filter materials and other industries.
The main application fields of ordinary industrial quartz sand are glass products, ceramic products, mechanical casting, cement products, refractory materials, etc. Its preparation is simple, only the raw ore needs to be graded or a simple beneficiation process can be used to meet the requirements, and most of the quartz sand produced in China is used in these fields.
High-purity quartz sand refers to quartz sand with SiO2 content greater than 99.95%, Fe2O3 content less than 0.0001%, and Al2O3 content less than 0.01%. High-purity quartz sand is mainly used in high-tech industries, such as aerospace, bioengineering, high-frequency technology, electronic technology, optical fiber communication and military industry.
In 2014, the market size of quartz sand in mainland China was 11.894 billion yuan. Boosted by the growth of demand and the rise in product prices, the market size of quartz sand in mainland China will increase to 30.396 billion yuan in 2023. Among them, the scale of ordinary quartz sand is 8.157 billion yuan, the scale of refined quartz sand is 14.77 billion yuan, and the scale of high-purity quartz sand is 7.469 billion yuan.
The upstream of the quartz sand industry mainly involves quartz ore resources, mining machinery, etc. The downstream is widely used in glass products, refractories, aerospace, photovoltaics, semiconductors and other fields.
Upstream quartz ore resources include quartz stone, quartz sandstone, vein quartz ore, quartz placer ore, pegmatite ore, etc. Quartz ore is a common non-metallic mineral resource, there are abundant reserves in all parts of the country, according to statistics, the quartz ore in the mainland is of high grade and large reserves, and more than 14 billion tons of high-grade quartz ore have been proven, and it is easy to mine. At present, the market supply of quartz ore is abundant. However, from the market experience in recent years, it can be concluded that due to the non-renewable nature of resources, most of the resource products will maintain a trend of gradual appreciation. Although quartz ore reserves are large and widely distributed, and the price is relatively stable, in the long run, there are still certain policies to strictly control the risk and the risk of a sharp rise in price.
The downstream of quartz sand is mainly its application field: quartz sand with high purity will be made into quartz materials such as glass tube rods and fibers, and flow into different downstreams, and be further processed into quartz supports, quartz blisters and other products, and finally used in optical fibers, lighting and other industries; The low-purity quartz sand is used as a raw material or reinforcing material in the building materials industry such as glass, ceramics, and refractories.
The quartz sand industry is a raw material-oriented industry. From a domestic point of view, Lianyungang in Jiangsu, Fengyang in Anhui, Lingshou County in Hebei, Heyuan in Guangdong and Linyi in Shandong are the main production plants of quartz raw materials, and quartz enterprises are mainly distributed in these areas, with obvious regional characteristics. There are a large number of enterprises engaged in the quartz sand business in the mainland, but most of them are small. At present, the enterprises with strong competitiveness in the industry include Jiangsu Pacific Quartz Co., Ltd., Lianyungang Guolun Quartz Products Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Kaida Quartz Co., Ltd., and Anhui Fengyang County Lingjie Quartz Sand Co., Ltd. In 2010, the high-purity quartz project of Jiangsu Pacific Quartz Co., Ltd. was put into operation, filling the gap in the production of high-purity quartz sand in mainland China.
Quartz Co., Ltd. is the most well-known high-purity quartz manufacturer in China, and the only high-purity quartz manufacturer in mainland China that has passed TELL certification, with the output of high-purity quartz reaching 41,000 tons in 2023, reaching the highest value in history. The high-purity quartz products produced by it are mainly used in photovoltaic, light source and optical fiber semiconductor industries, among which the output of quartz crucibles, electric light sources and optical fibers ranks among the top in the world.
Jiangsu Kaida Quartz Co., Ltd. products include high-purity quartz sand, silica powder, crystal powder, fused silica, etc., which can produce high-purity quartz products with SiO2 content of 99.998% (4N8), and is in a leading position in China in terms of high-purity quartz purification technology and product quality.
The research team of Zhiyan Consulting conducted an in-depth analysis of the scale, industrial structure, key enterprises, and industrial development trends of China's quartz sand industry, and put forward suggestions for the problems existing in the development of the quartz sand industry, so as to provide reference for local governments, industrial chain enterprises, and investment institutions.
