The Frac Sand Market is a segment of the oil and gas industry that involves the production and supply of proppants, which are used in hydraulic fracturing operations. Frac sand is a type of proppant that is made from high-purity quartz sand or other materials, and it is used to prop open the fractures created during hydraulic fracturing to allow the release of oil and gas.

The Frac Sand Market is driven by the increasing demand for oil and gas across developing countries, as well as technological advancements in hydraulic fracturing techniques. Global oil consumption is anticipated to reach 104.1 million barrels per day by 2026,  according to the International Energy Agency. Further, as per International Energy Agency, global oil demand is estimated to grow by 1.9 mb/d in 2023 to a record of 101.7 mb/d. Based on type, the market is segmented into white sand, brown sand, and others. Based on application, the market is segmented into oil and gas exploration, hydraulic fracturing, and others. The market is categorized into various regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

North America is the largest market for frac sand, due to the increasing shale gas and oil production in the region. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), production of crude oil in the U.S reached 12,462 thousand barrels in January 2023, as compared to 12,115 thousand barrels in December 2022. The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness significant growth in the Frac Sand Market, due to the growing demand for oil and gas in developing countries such as China and India.
