Specialty Oilfield Chemicals Market by Type (Demulsifiers, Inhibitors & Scavengers, Rheology modifiers, Friction reducers, Specialty biocides, Specialty surfactants, Pour point depressants, and Others), Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2027

Specialty Oilfield Chemicals Market by Type (Demulsifiers, Inhibitors & Scavengers, Rheology modifiers, Friction reducers, Specialty biocides, Specialty surfactants, Pour point depressants, and Others), Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2027

The market for specialty oilfield chemicals is approximated to be USD 11.8 billion in 2022, and it is projected to reach USD 14.5 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of 4.2%. Out of eight types (Demulsifiers, Inhibitors & Scavengers, Rheology modifiers, Friction reducers, Specialty biocides, Specialty surfactants, Pour point depressants, and Others), Demulsifiers have the largest market share because it is used to break emulsions that are present in the oil reservoirs, as well as during oil production, transportation, and processing. However, the major factor which drives the market for demulsifiers is the rise in crude oil production which is expected to grow in the forecast period.

By Type, Specialty Biocides accounted for the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Specialty biocides are used either to completely eliminate or to control microbial growth. They are used to maintain, treat, and optimize oil & gas production from reservoirs by reducing the downtime caused by corrosion and also to clean the well and surface equipment. The biocide usage patterns depend upon the nature of the underlying problem and require different treatments accordingly. With the increasing production of crude oil, the demand for specialty biocide is projected to increase which also supports the growth of the overall specialty oilfield chemicals market in the forecast period.

By Application, Well stimulation segment accounted for the second-highest CAGR during the forecast period

Well stimulation is carried out to increase the productivity of wells, and thereby, enhance the flow of hydrocarbons at or above the projected rate in both new and existing oil wells. This process can be carried out at any time over the lifespan of the well. The increased need to stimulate oil production from the mature oil wells drives the demand for hydraulic fracturing or fracking fluids in the well stimulation process. Hence, this drives the market of specialty oilfield chemicals during the forecast period.

North America is projected to account for the fastest-growing in the specialty oilfield chemicals market during the forecast period

The fastest-growing specialty oilfield chemicals market is expected to occur in the North America region. The various countries which are covered in this region are US, Canada, and Mexico. Countries such as US and Canada, are expected to rise in the specialty oilfield chemicals market due to growing drilling activities. In addition to this, the demand for specialty oilfield chemicals is driven by the oil & gas industries. There is a rising exploration of shale gas and oil reserves in the region, which is projected to increase during the forecast period and also supports the growth of specialty oilfield chemicals in the same period.
