Global Frac Sand Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Frac Sand market size is expected to reach $ 23800 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 13.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

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).

Global Frac Sand key players include U.S Silica, Fairmount Santrol, Preferred Sands, Badger Mining Corporation, Unimin Corporation etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share over 50%.

North America is the largest market, with a share over 80%, followed by Asia and Europe, both have a share over 10% percent.

In terms of product, Northern White Sand is the largest segment, with a share over 80%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Natural Gas Exploration followed by Oil Exploitation.
