Asia-Pacific Region Expected to Dominate the Market
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the dominant market in silica consumption, as China and India dominate the market for the end-user industries, such as building and construction, electronics, and glass manufacturing.
China's building industry is expanding at a rapid pace. China's construction production is estimated to be worth CNY 29.31 trillion in 2021, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
China plans to invest USD 1.43 trillion in key construction projects for five years till 2025. The Shanghai plan, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), calls for a total investment of USD 38.7 billion over the next three years.
