In 2023, India's import of silica sands and quartz sands stood at approximately 89.256 million kilograms. The forecast for the subsequent years indicates a steady growth pattern, reaching 98.682 million kilograms by 2028. From 2024 to 2028, the import volume is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.9%. This growth can be observed through year-on-year variations of about 2.1% to 1.8% from 2025 to 2028. The consistent increase reflects robust demand driven by expansion in India's glass manufacturing and construction industries.

Future trends to watch include:

Technological advancements in manufacturing contributing to higher quality demand.
Government policies on import tariffs impacting overall import dynamics.
Increased local production capabilities potentially curbing import growth.
