The U.S. is one of the largest producers of silica in the world. Based on a report published by the United States Geological Survey in January 2023, 122 companies were producing commercial silica in the U.S. in 2022. These companies operated a total of 201 active sites spread across 32 different states within the country.

Around 75% of the silica produced in the U.S. was utilized for hydraulic-fracturing sand (frac sand), well-packing, and cementing sand applications. In addition, approximately 10% of the silica was used as sand for glass-making purposes. Thus, rising investment in oil & gas, construction, and glass manufacturing sectors is expected to propel the demand for silica over the forecast period.

In July 2022, the U.S. government announced a five-year plan for blocking all new offshore drilling activities in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. However, the government is expected to allow some drilling activities on the south coast of Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico. This is anticipated to negatively impact the consumption of silica in the U.S. in the coming years.
