The General Union of Algerian Traders and Artisans (UGCAA) confirmed in its analysis that silica has transformed from a traditional raw material supplier to a strategic element in advanced technological industries, including optical fibers, electronic chips, and high-performance solar glass, as Algeria aims to enhance its position in global value chains. The analysis explained that this transformation is part of the process of ending the model of exporting raw materials in their primary form and transitioning to a processing economy led by SONAREM, with a focus on raising the quality of silica to purity levels exceeding 99.5%, allowing its use in high-value industries and significantly multiplying the economic value per ton.
