Frac Sand Market Outlook - 2026
Frac sand is a special variety of quartz sand used as a proppant in the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) of shale gas formations. A proppant is a solid material that is designed to keep an induced hydraulic fracture open. It is composed of high-purity silica sand and possesses ideal grain size & spherical shape and resists crushing. These qualities make them ideal for use in the process of fracking. In shale oil & gas exploration, frac sand along with water props open the cracks in the shale rocks. When the water pumps are turned off, frac sand prevents the fracture from closing, thereby enabling the flow of hydrocarbons in to storage tanks. The longer the proppant holds up against the enormous pressure of the fractures, the more petroleum can be extracted, maximizing the efficiency of the well. Alternate materials that have been used as a proppant are ceramic and aluminum beads, and sintered bauxite, but frac sand delivers the highest level of performance, and is thus, preferred by the petroleum industry.
The global frac sand market is driven by the thriving oil and gas exploration industry, which uses hydraulic fracturing process in the extraction of oil & natural gas. A single shale well employing hydraulic fracturing demands about thousand tons of frac sand. On the contrary, the non-availability of shale deposits globally limits the global frac sand market growth. Further, health hazards concerned with the prolonged exposure to frac sand is anticipated to hamper the market growth. However, the fluctuating crude oil prices and discovery of new shale reserves are expected to offer new opportunities for the global frac sand market. Furthermore, frac sand supply infrastructure if built closer to the demand site is expected to minimize the logistics cost, thereby increasing the economy of the hydraulic fracturing process. In addition, hydraulic fracturing of methane hydrate is the upcoming opportunity in the growth of global frac sand market.
