This report studies the global Frac Sand market status and forecast, categorizes the global Frac Sand market size (value & volume) by manufacturers, type, application, and region. This report focuses on the top manufacturers in North America, Europe, Japan, China, India, Southeast Asia and other regions (Central & South America, and Middle East & Africa).
Frac sand (or fracking sand) refers to sand and similar small materials that are used during the process of hydraulic fracturing, a method for extracting underground Natural Gas Exploration from shale gas formations. Fracking sand is a ?proppant.? A proppant is a material used to ?prop? open the underground cracks from which Natural Gas Exploration is harvested during the fracturing process. These gases include petroleum fluids such as oil, Natural Gas Exploration, and Natural Gas Exploration liquids from rock units (that don't have enough pore space allowing fluids to flow to a well).
U.S Silica, Fairmount Santrol and Hi-Crush Partners LP are the market leader and they occupied about 45.31% of the whole market. The Frac Sand market is consolidated in nature. Various players are adopting competitive strategies such as collaborations, acquisitions and capitalizing untapped opportunities in the United States, to sustain and gain market penetration. Some key players of this market include Preferred Sands, Badger Mining Corporation, Unimin Corporation, Chieftain Sand, Emerge Energy Services LP, Carbo Ceramics, Hi-Crush Partners LP, Smart Sand Inc.
The demand for frac sand has risen dramatically in recent years as an increasing number of oil and natural gas wells use the hydraulic fracturing process. A single well using hydraulic fracturing can use a few thousand tons of frac sand. The surge of specialized drilling has created a billion dollar frac sand industry in just a few years.
The local enterprises occupied mostly of the market share. And due to the increase in downstream demand, the price of frac sand may keep fluctuating along with oil and gas prices growth trend.
Although sales of Frac Sand brought a lot of opportunities, the study group recommends the new entrants just having money but without technical advantage and downstream support do not to enter into the field. Many new entrants to the raw frac sand market compete on an FOB plant basis and lack comparable transportation infrastructure to meet customer demands in-basin.
The global Frac Sand market is valued at 2960 million US$ in 2017 and will reach 8790 million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of 14.6% during 2025-2036.
