Portugal`s silica sand import market in 2024 continues to be dominated by key suppliers such as Spain, Belgium, and Italy. Despite a decrease in concentration from very high to high in 2024, the market remains competitive. The significant decline in the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 at -19.26% indicates challenges in the industry. Furthermore, the steep negative growth rate of -58.03% from 2023 to 2024 highlights a recent decline in import shipments, signaling potential shifts in demand or supply dynamics within the market.
By 2027, the Silica Sand market in Portugal is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 9.68%, as part of an increasingly competitive Europe region, where Germany remains at the forefront, supported by United Kingdom, France, Italy and Russia, driving innovations and market adoption across sectors.
