According to Allup Sand’s market assessment:

• The Asia-Pacific region is expected to remain the largest regional consumer of industrial sand through to 2025, supported by the dominant Chinese market
• Asian markets are said to produce in excess of 75% of speciality glass products, including thin film transistor glass used in modern plasma and LCD technologies and solar products
• In addition to China, the industrial markets in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and The Philippines
