Market Analysis and Insights of Frac Sand Market
Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the frac sand market will witness a CAGR of 14.95% for the forecast period of 2021-2028. Rising oil and gas exploration activities and rising adoption of hydraulic fracturing techniques are the two major factors attributable to the growth of frac sand market.
Frac sand is a naturally occurring type of crystalline silica extracted from pure sandstone. It is a special variety of quartz sand that is highly durable in nature, is strong and is a crush resistant material. Frac sand is used as a proppant in the hydraulic fracturing of shale gas formations. It is natural, uniform, round and has a small grain size that allows the natural fluids to easily pass through. Frac sand delivers the highest level of performance when compared to its alternatives such as ceramic and aluminium beads and sintered bauxite. As a result, frac sand is preferred by the petroleum industry. Frac sand mining requires immense quantity of water. However, frac sand mining can lead to birth of many lung diseases. Prolonged exposure to silica can lead to silicosis and lung cancer.
Rising oil and gas extraction activities and growth and expansion of oil and gas exploration industry is a major factor fostering the growth of frac sand market. Discovery of new shale reserves will further bolster the growth of frac sand market. Rising demand for petroleum based products coupled with rising technological advancements in the process of oil and natural gas extractions will further fuel up the frac sand market growth rate. Hydraulic fracturing of methane hydrate will further create lucrative and remunerative growth opportunities for the frac sand market.
However, fluctuations in the prices of crude oil will pose a major challenge to the frac sand market growth. Lack of proper infrastructure and transportation facilities will further create hindrances for the growth of frac sand market. Health hazards in relation to prolonged exposure to frac sand will also derail the market growth rate.
