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 European proppants market recorded revenues of $676.4 million in 2024, representing a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.2% between 2019-24.
  • Market consumption volumes declined with a negative CAGR of 2.3% between 2019-24, reaching a total of 1,652.1 kilotons in 2024.
  • The contraction of the European proppants market during 2019-24 can be attributed to the limited unconventional oil and gas activity, stringent environmental regulations, and a strong regional shift toward renewable energy.
