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 upon 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 global proppants market recorded a value of $12.32 billion in 2025, and the value increased with a CAGR of 4.5% between 2020 and 2025.
Market consumption volume increased with a CAGR of 5.6% between 2020 and 2025, reaching a total of 80,680.6 kilotons in 2025.
The global proppants market value growth during 2020-25 was primarily driven by the escalating development of oil and gas resources, such as shale gas and tight oil reservoirs, which heavily rely on hydraulic fracturing to unlock hydrocarbons.
