GCC Frac Sand Market Overview:
The GCC frac sand market was worth US$ XX Billion in 2022, expanding at a CAGR of X% during 2017-2022. Looking forward, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around X% during 2023-2028, reaching a value of US$ XX Billion by 2028. Frac sand is a naturally found crystalline silica extracted from pure sandstone. It is a unique variety of quartz sand that is highly durable and is a crush-resistant material. The sand is added to a mixture of water and chemicals, which is further injected into the shale, thus creating small fractures in the rock that allow the oil and gas to escape. Oil and gas companies widely use it as a proppant in hydraulic fracturing to release petroleum, natural gas, and other materials through drilling rock or land with a pressurized mixture. It is natural, uniform, and round and has a small grain size. Frac sand is commonly sourced from mines and processed to meet the specific size and shape requirements for usage in fracking operations. It holds an advantage over other variants of sand due to its different minerals and rock types, which are less durable than quartz. It delivers the highest level of performance when compared to its alternatives, such as ceramic and aluminum beads and sintered bauxite. As a result, frac sand is highly preferred by the petroleum industry.
The market in GCC is primarily driven by the increasing oil and gas extraction activities. In line with this, significant growth in the oil and gas industry is positively influencing the frac sand market. Furthermore, the discovery of new shale reserves and the escalating demand for petroleum-based products are favoring the market growth. Apart from this, rapid technological advancements in oil and natural gas extractions are fueling the market. Moreover, hydraulic fracturing of methane hydrate is offering lucrative growth opportunities in the frac sand market. Besides, various unconventional methods, such as shale fracturing, are mainly being adopted to extract oil and gas more effectively, thereby propelling the market as frac sand is an essential part of the hydraulic fracturing process. Additionally, numerous manufacturers are constantly involved in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce efficient and high-quality frac sand, which is anticipated to create a positive outlook for the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the widespread adoption of automation to improve the production process of frac sand and several mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of key players in the GCC region.
