The global frac sand market size reached US$ 7.0 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 11.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.24% during 2023-2028.
Frac sand is a naturally occurring type of crystalline silica that is processed from pure sandstone. It is used as a proppant in the process of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, employed widely by oil and gas companies to extract natural gas, petroleum and related materials by drilling rock or land, known as shale, with a pressurized mixture. This pressurized mixture consists of water, frac sand and various chemicals, which are injected into the rock formations to break open the fractures for the release of fluids such as oil, water and gas. Since the particles of frac sand are uniform with distinct round shape and small grain size, natural fluids can pass between them. It holds an edge over other types of sand since they are usually a mixture of various minerals and rock types, which are less durable than quartz.

A thriving oil and gas industry is the key factor driving the global market growth. With the number of oil and gas exploration activities on the rise across the globe, the demand for frac sand is also experiencing strong growth. In order to meet the rapidly increasing demand for petroleum and oil and gas worldwide, the technique of hydraulic fracturing is widely being employed by the oil and gas industry. This consequently is increasing the demand for frac sand as well since it is integral to the operation with approximately thousand tons of frac sand being required per hydraulic fracturing process. Additionally, the introduction of fine-mesh frac sand, which enhances the flow of natural fluid while they are released from the shale, is also catalyzing the market growth. Other factors such as its cost-effectiveness when compared with resin-coated and ceramic proppants, are also contributing significantly to its demand.

The global frac sand market was valued at US$ 7.0 Billion in 2022.
We expect the global frac sand market to exhibit a CAGR of 8.24% during 2023-2028.
The growing number of oil and gas exploration activities, along with the rising demand for frac sand during the process of hydraulic fracturing for extracting natural gas, petroleum, and related materials, is primarily driving the global frac sand market.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations, resulting in the temporary halt in numerous oil and gas exploration activities, thereby negatively impacting the global market for frac sand.
Based on the type, the global frac sand market has been segmented into white sand, brown sand, and others. Currently, brown sand holds the majority of the total market share.
Based on the application, the global frac sand market can be divided into oil exploitation, natural gas exploration, and others. Among these, natural gas exploration accounts for the largest market share.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America, where North America currently dominates the global market.
Some of the major players in the global frac sand market include CARBO Ceramics, Emerge Energy Services, Covia Holdings, Hi Crush, Source Energy Services, U.S Silica, Preferred Sands, Badger Mining Corporation, Mammoth Energy Service, Inc, Smart Sand Inc., Chongqing Changjiang, etc.
