Proppants Market Size 2024-2028
The proppants market size is forecast to increase by USD 5.30 billion at a CAGR of 8.42% between 2023 and 2028. The market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing usage of drilling proppants in hydraulic fracturing processes. The demand for fine mesh raw frac sand, such as ceramic sand and sintered bauxite, is on the rise as they enhance the porosity of sandstone formations, leading to improved oil and gas extraction. Technological advancements in the hydraulic fracturing process are also driving market growth, as these innovations enable the use of more efficient and cost-effective proppants, such as magnesium silicate. Additionally, the transition towards renewable energy sources is creating opportunities for proppant manufacturers to explore new applications in geothermal and coal bed methane extraction.
