The global washed silica sand market size is projected to grow from USD 18 million in 2021 to USD 24 million by 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during the forecast year. Washed silica sand refers to silica sand that undergoes a washing and rinsing process after mining. Salt, clay, and other powders and dust are washed out of the overall mixture. It often undergoes additional separating and classification into grain sizes or grit sizing. Washed silica sand comes in coarse, medium, fine, and ultra-fine granule sizes. Washed silica sand is used for various applications, such as glass, foundry, ceramic & refractories, filtration, abrasives, metallurgical silicon, and oil well cementing.
