Sand reclamation is a process by which foundry sand is reconditioned without directly affecting its physical properties. Sand reclamation involves physical, chemical, or thermal treatment of sand for reuse in molding and core making. During the sand reclamation process, binders & coatings that adhere to sand grains during casting production are removed to recycle sand for subsequent use. Sand reclamation is important in the metal casting process because it helps reduce costs without negatively affecting casting quality. Additionally, sand reclamation can reduce the environmental impact of the metal casting process. In recent years, sand has been a significant component of building & construction due to its use in concrete & asphalt, so there has been a worldwide shortage of sand. All these factors are driving the demand for reclamation sand across the globe.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Sand is a ubiquitous material used in a wide range of construction and industrial applications, such as concrete production, road construction, and glassmaking. However, sand is a finite resource, and the growing demand for sand is putting pressure on natural supplies. Reclamation sand is a sustainable alternative to natural sand. It is produced by cleaning and reprocessing used sand, such as foundry sand, construction sand, and glassmaking sand. This process removes impurities and restores the sand to its original properties, making it suitable for reuse in a variety of applications. The demand for reclamation sand is increasing rapidly, driven by a number of factors, such as the rising cost of natural sand, environmental concerns, government regulations, etc. For instance, the global construction output in 2020 was US$ 10.7 trillion, which is expected to reach US$ 15.2 trillion by 2030. India’s annual sand consumption is approximately 750 million tons, which is constantly growing; however, the natural sand resources are depleting, due to which the focus is shifting towards reclamation sand for construction. In recent years, there have been several instances where the demand for sand has surpassed supply, leading to environmental concerns and increased costs; due to this factor, the focus has shifted towards a more economical option, which is reclamation sand. Thus, the growing demand for sand in construction and industrial applications is driving the reclamation sand market. However, the availability of reclamation sand depends on the amount of waste generated and the capacity of recycling facilities. If the supply of waste material decreases or if recycling facilities are not able to meet demand, it can lead to a shortage of reclamation sand.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

The global reclamation sand market is bifurcated on the basis of process and application. In terms of process, the market is segmented into wet reclamation, mechanical reclamation, and thermal reclamation. By application, the market is bifurcated into foundry and construction & others.

Based on process, the thermal reclamation segment held a significant global reclamation sand market share in 2022. Thermal reclamation is a process of cleaning and reconditioning used foundry sand by using heat to remove binders, coatings, and other contaminants. It is a highly effective method for reclaiming sand bonded with organic binders, such as no-bake or chemical sand systems. By application, the foundry segment led the global reclamation sand market with a larger market share in 2022. Reclamation sand in foundries plays a vital role in promoting sustainability and cost-efficiency within the manufacturing and construction industry. Reuse of reclamation sand involves the process of recycling and reconditioning sand that has already been used in casting. This sustainable practice offers numerous benefits to foundries.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

The report provides a detailed overview of the global reclamation sand market with respect to five major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and South & Central America. APAC accounted for a significant part of the global reclamation sand market share and was valued at ~US$ 1 billion in 2022. The reclamation sand market in Asia Pacific is segmented into Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. China is a major contributor to the market growth in this region. The country has been the largest and fastest-growing foundry producer for more than a decade. Europe is also expected to witness notable growth, reaching over US$ 400 million by 2030. The Europe reclamation sand market is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. Various countries in the region are harnessing technological capabilities to achieve their sustainability goals. Furthermore, in North America, there has been a widespread usage of reclamation sand.

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

Partnerships, acquisitions, and new product launches are a few prominent strategies adopted by the players operating in the global reclamation sand market.

In May 2022, FSP GmbH commissioned a pilot-level water-glass bonded sand reclamation plant at its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany to perform sand reclamation tests by foundries. The plant is built for a wet sand reclamation process.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 Pandemic/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION

Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected economies and industries in various countries across the globe. The crisis disturbed supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. These disruptions restricted the availability of reclamation sand. It caused delays in production and increased costs, negatively impacting the overall supply of reclamation sand. Many manufacturing facilities were temporarily discontinued or scaled back during the COVID-19 pandemic to comply with lockdown measures and ensure the safety of workers. In addition, the pandemic impacted the global economy, leading to fluctuations in commodity prices and reduced demand for foundry sands.

The global marketplace is recovering from the losses as governments of different countries have announced relaxation in the restrictions. Manufacturing activities are rebounding as countries gradually recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination efforts continue. Manufacturers are permitted to operate at full capacity to overcome the supply gap. Increased infrastructure investments and stimulus packages in many regions drive the demand of foundry industry. Thus, the global reclamation sand market is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period.
