Market Segmentation

This market report extensively covers market segmentation by Type (white frac and brown frac), Application (oil exploration and natural gas exploration), and Geography (North America, Europe, APAC, Middle East and Africa, and South America),].

By Type 

The white frac segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. White frac sand is monocrystalline sand, mainly found in Wisconsin, the US, and limited areas in the upper Midwest region of the US. Due to its favorable physical characteristics, such as crush strength, turbidity, roundness, and sphericity, this is the preferred choice as a proppant. Owing to its low cost, oil and natural gas producers worldwide prefer white frac sand.

The white frac segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 4.04 billion in 2017.  This is used to improve hydrocarbon recovery in hydraulic fracturing oil and natural gas production. With large-scale oil and natural gas exploration projects being implemented around the world, the demand is expected to increase globally. Therefore, increasing demand for oil and natural gas around the world, especially in North America, will drive the segment growth during the forecast period.

By region

North America is estimated to contribute 65% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.

North America leads the global market as it was an early adopter of unconventional drilling techniques, particularly hydraulic fracturing, for extracting oil and gas from shale formations. The region, including the US, Canada, and Argentina, witnesses high adoption rates due to abundant unconventional oil and gas reserves. The US holds significant shale and tight oil resources, while Canada focuses on oil sands in Duvernay and Montney formations. Major companies like Shell, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron invest in unconventional exploration and production (E&P) activities. This widespread use of hydraulic fracturing drives increased investments in unconventional production, leading to a growing demand in North America during the forecast period.

Market Dynamic and Customer Landscape

The market plays a crucial role in the hydraulic fracturing process, particularly in shale gas formations. As a type of proppant, this is injected into wells under high pressure to prop open fractures, allowing hydrocarbons to flow more freely. This process is essential in the petroleum industry for extracting oil and gas from tight shale formations. Frac sand, typically made of silica, is preferred for its durability and conductivity. However, concerns exist regarding silicosis and lung cancer among workers in the mining sector due to exposure to fine silica particles. The demand is closely tied to oil and gas exploration and the production of shale oil and gas, with companies like Emerge Energy Services and Badger Mining Corporation playing key roles in the market. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

Growing demand for fine mesh raw frac sand is a key factor driving the market growth. The market is being propelled by the growing utilization of affordable proppants, such as fine mesh raw frac sand, in the oil and gas sector. This trend is particularly evident in the extraction of oil and gas from tight shale formations, where water, chemicals, and sand are injected into the formations to create fractures that allow the oil and gas to flow more freely. The mining sector plays a crucial role in providing the necessary resources for this process, contributing to the overall growth of the oil and gas industry. Thus, such characteristics make it a favored proppant in oil wells, particularly in the United States. With the increasing demand for petroleum products and the emergence of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in North America, the use of fine mesh raw frac sand is expected to continue expanding. This trend presents opportunities for the overall market in the foreseeable future.

Significant Market Trends

The rise in the adoption of green fracking methods is a key trend influencing the market. Hydraulic fracturing is a process that poses environmental risks due to water consumption, toxic liquid waste, and GHG emissions from methane leakage. To address these concerns, energy technology providers are developing eco-friendly fracking methods. GasFrac Energy Services Inc. introduced a waterless fracking approach using propane gel and chemicals. Halliburton uses recycled water or brine in some regions, while other companies utilize non-potable brine and recycled frack water. Additionally, natural gas- or solar-energy-powered equipment reduces GHG emissions. These environmentally friendly fracking methods aim to decrease hazards and promote the adoption of hydraulic fracturing, thereby supporting the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Environmental concerns associated with the hydraulic fracturing process is a major challenge hindering the market growth. Growing global awareness of environmental issues linked to fossil fuel combustion has highlighted concerns surrounding hydraulic fracturing. Despite being less carbon-intensive, the process poses threats like methane leaks and water pollution. Water usage, chemicals, and waste generated during hydraulic fracturing deplete fresh water sources and raise health and contamination concerns. Methane emissions from the process significantly impact climate conditions due to its high global warming potential. Efforts to monitor methane leaks, such as MethaneSAT, aim to address these risks. Though governments work on mitigating concerns, environmental issues may hinder the adoption of unconventional production projects, potentially affecting the growth of the market during the forecast period.
