Portugal`s import of low-grade silica sand in 2024 continued to be dominated by top exporting countries such as Spain, Belgium, and Italy. Despite a decrease in concentration from very high to high in 2024, the market remained competitive. The negative compound annual growth rate of -19.26% from 2020 to 2024 indicates a declining trend, with a significant drop in growth rate recorded from 2023 to 2024 at -58.03%. This data suggests a challenging market environment for low-grade silica sand imports into Portugal in recent years.
