Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2026502 | Category : Chemical and Material | Delivery Format: /

The global hydraulic fracturing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. The global hydraulic fracturing market is growing at a modest rate due to the rise in the adoption of hydraulic fracturing in the oil & gas market for shale exploration and production. Significant investment from government and private players is expected to boost the global hydraulic fracturing market. For instance, in August 2021, NexTier Oilfield Solutions announced the acquisition of Alamo Pressure Pumping, LLC. With this acquisition, NexTier Oilfield Solutions will operate the third-largest base of active hydraulic horsepower across the US and the largest base of next-generation equipment in the Permian Basin. Additionally, R&D investment and research programs are guiding the market to explore shale gas through safe technology without harming the environment. However, the requirement for a huge amount of water and chemicals in the global hydraulic fracturing market is restraining the market growth. Stringent government regulations & policies may also affect the market growth. Concerns for water contamination, seismic wave formation, and sliding crude oil prices are expected to affect market growth. However, huge demand in the Asia-Pacific region and the adoption of waterless fracturing foams are expected to boost the market.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market 

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the global hydraulic fracturing market. During COVID-19, as of May 2020, 212 countries had been impacted by the pandemic, and the governments of these countries had ordered nationwide lockdowns which disrupted the supply chain operation of several industries. As a result, there was a considerable decline in transportation and related activities which in turn impacted the demand for oil and gas. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report, in March 2020, the geopolitical events increased the supply of low-priced oil to the global market while simultaneously the demand declined due to the outbreak of the pandemic. These in turn affected the demand for oil and natural gas, as well as for hydraulic fracturing services and products. However, as the COVID-19 situation normalizes, the global Hydraulic Fracturing market started to recover as industrial operations were normalized after the recovery.

Segmental Outlook 

The global hydraulic fracturing market is segmented based on application, technology, material, and shale type. Based on the application, the market is segmented into conventional hydraulic fracturing, tight gas hydraulic fracturing, shale gas hydraulic fracturing, tight oil hydraulic fracturing, coal bed hydraulic fracturing, and others. Based on the technology, the market is sub-segmented into a sliding surface, plug & perf, and others. Based on material, the market is segmented into proppant (sand, ceramic, resin-coated sand), and others. And, based on the shale type, the market is segmented into bakken shale, antrim shale, woodford shale, marcellus shale, haynesville shale, fayetteville shale, eagle ford shale, barnett shale, and others.

Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market Share by Technology, 2021 (%)

Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market Share by Technology

Plug & Perf is Expected to Hold a Prominent Share in the Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market

Based on the technology, the plug & perf segment is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. This is attributed to the fact that it delivers higher performance in production and supports lowering production costs. Additionally, It is the most preferred and common fracturing technology owing to its ease of operation and competitive cost as well as can be used in both vertical and horizontal wells. 

Regional Outlook

The global hydraulic fracturing market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow during the forecast period due to the growing demand for hydraulic fracturing for shale production.

Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market Growth by Region, 2022-2028

Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market Growth by Region

North America Region Holds a Prominent Share in the Global Hydraulic Fracturing Market.

The North American region holds a prominent share in the hydraulic fracturing market. The major factor driving the growth of the market in the region due to rising shale gas production and technological advancement. Additionally, North America has abundant shale reserves that are commercially viable as a result hydraulic fracturing market is widely adopted for shale gas formation.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global hydraulic fracturing market include Baker Hughes Inc., C&J Energy Services Inc., Cudd Energy Services, Halliburton, and Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., among others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, partnerships, geographical expansion, and collaborations to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in October 2020, Halliburton announced to launch SmartFleet, an intelligent automated fracturing system. SmartFleet assists operators to control real-time fracturing while pumping by providing subsurface fracture measurements, live 3D visualization, and real-time fracture commands.
