Demand for zircon sand is continuing to rise in line with global growth. However, mineral sand producers are struggling to maintain zircon supplies, which has led to a tightening of the market. According to Victor Hugo, general manager; sales and marketing with zircon market leader Iluka Resources Ltd "There is a reduction in supply of between 50,000 and 80,000 tonnes globally on an annualised basis in 2004, based on our estimate".
