The global frac sand market is driven by the flourishing oil and gas industry. Currently, North America is the leading regional market across the globe. On account of the continuous increase in the demand for petroleum and gas, the industry is witnessing a considerable rise in the number of oil exploration activities across the world.
Market Segmentation
Frac sand is referred to as a naturally occurring type of crystalline silica that is extracted from pure sandstone. The product is used as a proppant in the process of hydraulic fracturing, variously known as fracking, used widely by oil and gas companies to extricate petroleum, natural gas, and related materials through drilling rock or land, known as shale, with a pressurized mixture. It is uniform, round, and has a small grain size, which allows natural fluids to pass through them. It holds an edge over other variants of sand due to its different minerals and rock types, which are less durable than quartz.

Market Analysis
The global frac sand market is driven by the rapid growth within the oil and gas industry. In addition to this, unconventional methods such as shale fracturing are largely being adopted to extract oil and gas in a more effective manner, thereby, driving the growth as it is an essential part of the hydraulic fracturing process. Furthermore, manufacturers are constantly involved in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce efficient and high-quality frac sand. For example, manufacturers have fine-mesh frac sand, which helps increase the flow of the fluid while it is being released from the shale. It is cost-effective as opposed to resin-coated and ceramic proppants, which is providing impetus to the growth of the market.
