Proppant Market Insights

Proppant Market size was valued at USD 8.6 Billion in 2023 and is poised to grow from USD 9.36 Billion in 2024 to USD 18.37 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period (2025-2032).

During the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) procedure, proppants—rough, consistently sized materials—are used with fracturing fluid to keep open cracks created in the earth. Hydraulic fracturing, a technique used to boost the oil and gas output from oil and natural gas wells, has recently raised the need for proppants.

Rising demand for proppants throughout the oil and gas sector owing to its hydraulic fracturing is one of the main reasons promoting the market's growth. The oil and gas sector use hydraulic fracturing to improve the flow of oil or gas from the well. Fracturing fluid is poured into the oil well together with proppants (propping agents) to keep the fissures open and allow the crude oil or natural gas to flow up into the well.

US Proppant Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

The scenario for oil and gas production throughout the world has been fundamentally altered by the combination of horizontal drilling and multistage fracturing technology. More sand is being drilled and finished into horizontal wells by exploration and production firms, a trend that is expected to pick up speed over time. Due to longer laterals and higher loadings per lateral foot, the average sand consumption per horizontal well has quadrupled since 2013 and is still expected to rise. The rising demand for drilling proppants is the consequence of technologies being developed to promote the usage of natural sand/frac sand rather than ceramic sand.

The most popular type of hydraulic fracturing proppant on the market is frac sand. Round-grain quartz sand that is incredibly robust and pure is used to make frac sand proppants. Sandstone makes up most of them.

Proppant's highest market share is in Asia-Pacific, which is also projected to increase at the quickest rate over the projection period. Due to the region's shale gas production, major APAC economies will see an increase in domestic demand for natural gas. By lowering the region's dependency on outside sources, the extraction of shale gas is anticipated to increase energy security in the area. On the other hand, shale gas development is still in its infancy. During the projection period, shale gas output in China will rise as the nation tries to imitate the US shale gas boom. This would greatly increase proppant demand in APAC.
