Proppants Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.97% through 2030

Rising Mining Activities through Hydraulic Fracking and increasing demand of natural gases are the major drivers of the Global Proppants Market.


According to TechSci Research report, “Proppants Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Proppants Market was valued at USD 8.82 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 13.09 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.97%.

Technological advancements are transforming the global proppants market, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and performance in hydraulic fracturing. Innovations in ceramic proppants, made from high-quality oxidized kaolin clay, offer superior strength and conductivity for deep wells, improving hydrocarbon recovery. Resin-coated proppants, with advanced coatings, provide better flowback control and durability under high pressure, reducing formation damage. Lightweight proppants, developed through nanotechnology, minimize transportation costs and environmental impact while maintaining fracture support.

The shift to unconventional extraction has spurred horizontal multistage fracturing technologies, requiring proppants with uniform size and shape for optimal fracture conductivity. Manufacturers are investing in R&D for eco-friendly proppants, such as biodegradable variants, to comply with regulations like REACH. Advanced manufacturing processes, including sintering and coating techniques, produce high-strength proppants for tight formations. Digital tools and AI optimize proppant placement, predicting performance in reservoirs. These developments, supported by investments in growing economies, drive market growth by addressing energy demands and sustainability through 2030.

The Global Proppants Market is segmented into type, application, regional distribution, and company.

Based on type, the frac sand segment is expected to dominate the global proppants market during the forecast period, driven by its cost-effectiveness, abundant availability, and suitability for a wide range of hydraulic fracturing operations. Frac sand offers optimal permeability and strength, making it ideal for oil and gas well stimulation, particularly in unconventional shale formations. Its lower production and transportation costs compared to ceramic and resin-coated proppants further enhance its adoption. The growing demand for energy, coupled with increased shale gas exploration and oil production activities, especially in North America, is expected to significantly boost the consumption of frac sand, reinforcing its leading position in the global proppants market.

Based on region, the Asia-Pacific region is the fastest-growing segment in the global proppants market and is expected to sustain its growth momentum throughout the forecast period. This growth is driven by increasing oil and gas exploration activities in countries such as China, India, and Australia, along with rising investments in unconventional energy resources. Rapid industrialization, growing energy demand, and government initiatives to boost domestic hydrocarbon production are further fueling market expansion. Additionally, technological advancements in hydraulic fracturing and drilling techniques are enhancing the efficiency and adoption of proppants in the region. The presence of untapped reserves and expanding upstream operations positions Asia-Pacific as a key growth hub in the global proppants market.
