Sand and gravel miners have enjoyed modest expansions over the current period. While the outbreak of COVID-19 hindered performance, the uptick in housing starts and residential construction prevented miners from completely falling off in 2020 since sand and gravel are construction aggregates. Higher energy prices encouraged energy producers to increase their output to take advantage of favorable pricing, increasing the sale of industrial sand. Expansions in government funding for road and highway construction were a boon to miners as interest rate hikes slowed overall construction activity.
