Key Highlights

  • Proppants are solid materials, mostly sand, treated sand, or man-made ceramic materials used in hydraulic fracturing, a method used to extract oil and gas from deep underground sedimentary rock formations. Proppants prevent the opened fractures from closing on the release of pressure. These proppants are used to keep the artificially created hydraulic fractures open after the injection process to continue and enhance the extraction of oil and gas. Based on type, the proppants market is segmented into frac sand proppants, resin-coated proppants, and ceramic proppants.
  • The Middle East and African proppants market recorded revenues of $170.4 million in 2024, representing a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3% between 2019-24.
  • Market consumption volume increased with a CAGR of 1.8% between 2019-24, reaching a total of 1,107.6 kilotons in 2024.
  • The Middle East & African proppants market contracted during 2019-24 as major oil and gas producers in the Middle East region, such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait, are focused on optimizing output from existing, cost-effective conventional reserves, reducing the need for new exploration, leading to decline in proppant consumption.
