Proppants Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The proppants market was valued at US$5.458 billion in 2021.

The material is used as a part of the process of hydraulic fracturing and is considered one of the most impactful innovations of this century. The demand for proppants is primarily driven by the increased focus on shale gas production, especially in the North American region, boosting the demand for proppants. Rising E&P activities across the global oil and gas sector are the major driver of the proppants market. Advancements in fracturing technologies and the rising adoption of new drilling techniques are also fuelling the demand for proppants. Increasing proppant consumption, supported by growing demand for frac sand proppant, is also boosting the market growth.

A growing shift towards ceramic proppants will continue to propel the proppants market growth during the forecast period. However, growing environmental concerns and strict legislation are hindering the proppant demand. The proppants market is geographically segmented as North America, South America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. North America will dominate the global proppants market due to the rising exploration of unconventional crude oil reserves in countries like the U.S. and Mexico. In addition, increasing hydraulic fracturing applications for shale gas and tight oil purposes is also positively impacting the demand for proppants in this region.
