Major Oilfield Chemicals Market Drivers

Oilfield Chemicals Market is majorly driven by surge in the demand for petroleum-based products from transportation industry, rise in the number of shale gas exploration activities around the world and technological advancements in deep drilling operations. Over the years, transportation industry worldwide has grown exponentially. This growth is primarily fueled by improvements in the logistics infrastructure, increasing economic activities and shift in travelling trends and behaviours of consumers. According to the per the report published by U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2021, almost 28% of the energy was consumed in the transportation sector in the country for transporting goods and people from one place to other. Some of the energy sources used in transportation industry includes petroleum derived fuels such as crude oil, and other energy sources including biofuels and natural gas. As reliance on different modes of transportation is increasing, demand for these energy sources is expected to increase in the coming few years, which will create more growth opportunities for Oilfield Chemicals Market.

Increasing application of oilfield chemicals in different operations such as production, drilling and well stimulation, is contributing towards the market growth. Moreover, on-going Russia Ukraine has severely impacted supply of global energy industry. Due to shortage in the oil supply, crude oil prices have significantly increased in the international markets, which is negatively impacting the growth of Oilfield Chemicals Market. Steps taken by regional governments to promote the use of renewable sources of energy over conventional sources to reduce emissions, is further restricting the demand for oilfield chemicals. However, a substantial consumer base still relies on conventional sources of energy for their daily requirements and the need for exploring new fields is increasing. Thus, demand for oilfield is expected to increase in coming few years.

Based on Product, Corrosion and Scale Inhibitors segment is projected to hold the largest market share.

Inhibitors are gaining traction in the market as it helps in preventing accumulation of insoluble crystals and metal scale build-up during oil processing operations. While demulsifiers are increasingly used in onshore and offshore oil production activities for separating oil emulsions and water, which is pushing its adoption in the Oilfield Chemicals Market. On-going innovations in the demulsifiers, is creating lucrative opportunities for oil field chemical companies to expand their business. For instance, in 2019, Nouryon, a leading speciality chemicals company launched a wide range of demulsifiers. These products are designed to provide oil producers more sustainable options for separating crude oil from natural gas and water.

Based on Application, Drilling and Cementing segment is expected to dominate the market owing to increasing demand for oilfield surfactant chemicals.

Oilfield chemicals are increasingly used during drilling activities to stabilize temperature and prevent impure substance from entering drilling fluid systems. Additionally, growing demand for oil derived products such as petroleum and diesel has increased the number of drilling activities for exploring new oil and gas worldwide. As the drilling activities are increasing, enterprises are using more oilfield surfactant chemicals to reduce surface tensions between fluid and solids.
