Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst type, Ceramic sand category accounted for the majority share in the market in 2020”
Based on type, the market is classified into frac sand, resin-coated proppant, and ceramic proppant. Ceramic sand catered a significant share in the market due to its excellent crush resistance, conductivity, and strength, ceramic proppants are predicted to have a rapid increase in demand due to increased consumption in impermeable shale fields. In addition, ceramic sand has superior performance compared to sand and lower cost compared to ceramic proppants, resin-coated proppants which are anticipated to increase its demand. Moreover, ceramics are non-metallurgical materials created by the fusion of substances including alumina, clay, tungsten carbide, and silicon carbide in the presence of extreme heat.
“Amongst application, shale reserve segment is expected to witness highest CAGR during the forecast period”
Based on application, the market is categorized into shale gas, tight gas, coalbed methane, and others. Shale gas caters to a significant share of the market. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the demand will increase in the coming years due to the presence of significant untapped shale gas deposits in China, Australia, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Brazil. Further driving the growth is anticipated to be the rising estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) and permeability of ceramic proppant in shale plays. It is anticipated that the high prospective reserves of coal bed methane (CBM) in Australia and India will increase the demand for proppants in this application.
“Asia-Pacific to witness significant growth during the forecast period”
During the forecast period, the proppant market in Asia-Pacific is expected to increase significantly in the global market. Countries like China and Australia in the region are using cutting-edge methods to harvest shale gas from its reserves. The region that produces the most coalbed methane worldwide. High coalbed methane reserves can be found, among other nations in the region, in China, India, Australia, Japan, and Indonesia. The region’s low conventional natural gas deposits and high natural gas prices on the global market stimulate the development of coalbed methane. Thus, supporting proppant market growth during the forecast period
