The global proppants market size is expected to reach USD 15.62 billion by 2030, registering at a CAGR of 8.2%, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing drilling and completion activities for shale gas in the U.S. and Canada are expected to drive market growth over the next six years. In, addition the advent of multiple stage fracturing resulting in higher consumption of proppants per stage is expected to augment demand over the forecast period. In addition, large technically recoverable shale gas reserves in China, Australia, Algeria, and Russia is expected to promote market growth.
Sand was the largest product segment accounting for over 75% of the market share in 2013. Sand is expected to witness demand growth owing to its low cost and high availability in comparison to other proppants. Ceramic proppants are expected to witness significant demand growth over the next six years on account of superior properties including high strength, crush resistance, and conductivity resulting in increased use for shale plays.
