In a newly released report by Future Market Insights, the global oilfield chemicals market is projected to reach a value of $44.5 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The market was valued at $28.5 billion in 2023, signaling significant growth potential over the next decade.
The growth of this market is primarily driven by increasing demand for oilfield chemicals across various petroleum operations, including drilling, well stimulation, production, cementing, enhanced oil recovery, and hydraulic fracturing. Other contributing factors include rising crude oil production, a shift toward unconventional drilling operations, and an increase in operational complexity.
Offshore and deepwater exploration and production activities present unique challenges that necessitate the use of specialized oilfield chemicals. Increased production from new offshore projects globally is also expected to further spur demand for these chemicals.
Technological advancements in oilfield operations such as horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and enhanced oil recovery have increased operational efficiency and complexity, thus driving the demand for specific chemical formulations and additives.
According to the Westwood Global Energy Group, 21 offshore oil and gas projects received final investment decisions in 2021. Projects like Sangomar in Senegal and the Cyprus-Greece Gas Pipeline are set to begin production in 2023 and 2025 respectively, potentially increasing global oil and gas production and therefore, demand for oilfield chemicals.
Market projections suggest strong growth in India, with a forecasted CAGR of 4.6% for oilfield chemicals. The GCC countries’ market is expected to achieve a CAGR of 5%, while North American sales are predicted to rise with a CAGR of 4.8%.
Key companies in the oilfield chemicals market include Albemarle Corporation, Akzo Nobel N.V., DowDuPont Inc., Baker Hughes, a GE Company LLC, Halliburton Co., BASF SE, Flotek Industries, Inc., Ashland Inc., Schlumberger Limited, Solvay SA, Clariant AG, and GEO Drilling Fluids, Inc.
