Sand and gravel are common construction materials sourced from riverbeds, floodplains, and beaches through mining or dredging activities. They may undergo processing like crushing and screening to produce various sizes and grades suitable for different applications.

The primary use of sand and gravel is in construction, particularly in concrete and asphalt production. Sand is also used in plaster and mortar, while gravel serves as a drainage material and base layer in road construction. Additionally, these materials are used in filtration, glass manufacturing, and water treatment.

Sand and gravel are typically traded as bulk commodities through dedicated transport infrastructure or bulk bags for smaller quantities. International trade occurs for high-quality or specialized products, with the majority of consumption occurring locally where the materials are extracted.
