The industrial silica sand import market in Portugal experienced a significant decline in 2024, with a high level of concentration among top exporting countries. Despite the negative growth trend, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Metropolitan France, and the Netherlands remained key suppliers. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicated slightly lower concentration in 2024 compared to 2023. This shift may suggest a more diverse import market landscape in the coming years, potentially leading to increased competition and market dynamics within the industrial silica sand sector in Portugal.
The Industrial Silica Sand market in Portugal is projected to grow at a growing growth rate of 9.68% by 2027, highlighting the country's increasing focus on advanced technologies within the Europe region, where Germany holds the dominant position, followed closely by United Kingdom, France, Italy and Russia, shaping overall regional demand.
